Revelation 10:5-7

5 Then the [mighty] angel whom I had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven (the sky),

6 And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay, 

   

7 But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed).

We see here that the angel is shouting out that the end is near. We know this because the angel proclaims that this is the days when the seventh trumpet is about to be sounded, not the day when it is sounded. We were just shown that the message of the Seven Thunders, or our Father's voice, was hidden, so it goes right along with His message could easily be the specifics of the timing of all of this. But once again, I am only speculating here, I am not adding to or taking away from the Revelation of our Lord. The only thing we know is that the message of the Seven Thunders is hidden from us.
 

We are shown here though, just how powerful the message of the Gospel will be during the end times. I was always taught that as Christians we want to be out of here, or raptured, from all of this. But the Truth is that it is the time in this earth’s history when the body of Christ will be used the greatest by our Father. 

Have you ever asked our Father why there is so little power in the body today? Most of my life I was told that we don’t possess great power because we weren’t doing something right. But the Truth is our sanctification is up to Jesus and not us, Hebrews 2:11. The body can only do what the Head empowers and directs it to do. So the reason that there is so little power in the body of Christ is because there is an appointed time for such great power and that time is for the last three and a half years of this earth, right before Jesus personally returns to rule it. This is why it will be such a great sin to follow the anti-christ and not Christ, because it will be so plain to see. The end time message is glorious and powerful and it covers the entire world.
