I have always pondered on this verse and I couldn't find a thread on it and so I thought I would start one.
From my understanding, the mystery appears to be our resurrection and eternal life. Iwill expound more as time goes by.
Any thoughts on this? [I mad the poll where one can have multiple answers...Thank you...........
Revelation 10 [Daniel 12]
5 The Messenger whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up His hand to heaven
6 and swore by Him who is living into the ages of the ages, Who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,
7 but in the days of the sound of the seventh Messenger, whenever He is about to be trumpeting,
is finished the Mystery of the God,
as He declared to His servants the prophets.
I believe that passage is taken from Daniel 12:
[ESV]
Daniel 12 [Revelation 10]
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream.
6 And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,b “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?”
7 And I heard the Man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream;
he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time,
and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished.
8 I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel,
for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation 10:7, it has to do with Daniel 2.
The mystery is of the Kingdom of God, to be set up here on earth. It goes hand in hand with the destruction of Satan and his kingdom.
Daniel 2:44 And
in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven
set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people,
but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
The seventh trumpet sounds right after the two witnesses ascend to heaven on day 1263.5 of the 7 years, leaving 1256.5 days in the 7 years, which the bible in Revelation calls 42 months.
The ten kings, the ten toes of the feet of clay and iron - give their kingdom to the beast in Revelation 17:17 for that 42 month period. They (represented by the ten horns) have their crowns in Revelation 13:1, to rule with the person who will have become the beast, for 42 months.
Revelation 17:17 For God did put in their hearts to do his will, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast,
until the words of God should be accomplished.
The seventh trumpet sounding is the go signal to start dismantling Satan's kingdom of Mystery Babylon the great... and start taking the kingdoms of this world under the dominion of the Kingdom of God, which will be completed when Jesus returns at the end of the 42 months.
The ten kings give their kingdom to the beast, just before the two witnesses are killed, so in the days of those ten kings "ruling with the beast", God will set up the Kingdom of God here on earth, that will never be destroyed and will be over all other kingdoms.

Which it is so critical to watch for the formation of the ten leader form of government for the EU with one leader over them.
We are that close, to when Gog/Magog takes place shortly after. And then the little horn person becoming the Antichrist. Then around 3 years 3 months later becoming the revealed man of sin. Then very shortly after, becoming beast.
