“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.”
And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, 'Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down' — John is commanded (akouo) to seal (sphragizō) the thunders' utterances, forbidding their revelation. This mystery withheld emphasizes that God's full purposes remain hidden; not all revelation is for human understanding.
