Revelation 10:4

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

Ver. 4. Had uttered their voices ] Not audible only, but articulate; so as what John heard and was much affected. Nescio quid divinum in auscultatione eat: there is no small efficacy in a lively voice to work upon the heart. (Diestius.) In Demosthene aliquid deest Demosthenis, quando legitur non auditur. (Val. Max.)

Seal up these things ] viz. Till the time appointed. SeeDaniel 8:26; Daniel 8:26 ; Daniel 12:9 . Or, for that the things were the secrets of God’s kingdom,Matthew 13:10-17; Matthew 13:10-17 , not fit or possible to be revealed, 2 Corinthians 12:4 .
