In thinking back on this chapter, I think two key thoughts are ...
- there is no longer any delay ... God is answering the cry of the martyrs in chapter 5 who asked "How long, O Lord, before You avenge our blood?"
- the mystery of God is finished when the 7th angel is about to sound
God has been working out His plan of redemption from the beginning of time; the history of the world as we know it is about to be wrapped up and all things will be made new;
God has been revealing to His prophets and apostles the things that are mysteries to those who do not know Him, but He reveals the secret things to those who seek to know Him. How wonderful to know ... "God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27)
Summarize this chapter and post a prayer if you would like.
