Correct.
And
the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the
land lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6and
swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created
heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the
things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that
there shall be delay no longer, 7but in
the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
is about to sound, then
the mystery
of God is finished, as He preached* to His servants
the prophets. Revelation 10:5-7 (NAS)
* the footnote for the New American Standard
Version says the literal Greek would read
"preached the gospel."
The Angel's Promise:
Here the angel swore (by Him who lives forever
and ever) that "there shall be delay no longer."
Instead of delay, in the days of the voice of the
7th angel...the mystery of God is finished, as He
(God) preached to His servants the prophets.
The Easy-to-Read version of the Bible says it
this way:
In the days when the seventh angel is ready to blow his trumpet,
God's secret
plan will be finished. This plan is the Good News God told to his servants, the
prophets. Revelation 10:7 (ERV)
The Gospel of Christ:
Have you read about this Good News (the gospel)
that has been delivered by God to us through His
servants? See Lesson 1 - The Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
Do you believe that God will act according to the
words contained in the gospel of Jesus? Jesus
says in John chapter 12:
"He
who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has
one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will
judge him at the last day. 49"For I did
not speak on My own initiative, but the Father
Himself who sent Me has given Me commandment, what
to say, and what to speak. 50"And I know
that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the
things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told
Me." John 12:48-50 (NAS)
