Revelation 10 v 6, 7, 11
UNTIL THERE IS NO MORE DELAY

“There will be no more delay!” cried the angel. (Revelation 10 v 6). Then he continued, “But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” (v 7).

At this point there may be no more delay before the seventh angel sounds his trumpet, but in the text, there is still a lot to be described before the trumpet gets blown in the next chapter.

One of those descriptions is about John eating a little scroll. When he had eaten it and found it to be sweet in his mouth but turning his stomach sour, he was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.” (v 11).

I wonder if this has any correlation to what Jesus said: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24 v 14).

Yes, we are on the brink of the kingdom of God becoming a reality on the earth, but there is one thing left to do. Preach the gospel. Let everyone know. That way, when they see Jesus returning, they will know what it is all about. And when the preaching has been done, then the end will come. Let us continue to preach until there is no more delay.

Let’s show Christ in our words and actions today.

With love in our Lord,
Robert
