NO PERSON KNOWS WHAT THE SEVEN THUNDERS WILL UTTER...
REVELATION 10
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
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.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
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 is a picture of the 2nd consummation (the 1st being at the Cross)... The End (Revelation 10:7/Daniel 9:27). This mighty angel (Messenger) is Jesus. He is clothed with a cloud (a cloud is water - Truth/Righteousness or judgment/salvation), a rainbow upon His head (rainbow = promise/fulfilling that which He has declared), face as the sun (sun - He is The Light... not reflected light as per the moon), feet as pillars of fire (He is the all standing judge of judgment - purging those He has saved/condemning the unsaved to destruction).
Verse 2 shows He will put all of Creation under subjection on the final hour. Covering both the dry land and the sea (the saved and unsaved). We see an example of this in the Book of Hebrews:
Hebrews 2:5-9 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Verse 4 is different than other prophetic scripture concerning these End Times. Not only does the Lord demand that what is declared is to be sealed up but also that it shall not even be written down. But what specific event is contained within this "little book"? There are a few other verses in Matthew & Mark and 2 Peter that describe this exact moment contained within this "little book"...
Matthew 24:35-36 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Mark 13:31-33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
2 Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Matthew & Mark and 2 Peter 3 show us a small wealth of information. It can be summed up in one sentence.
v v
According to the Lord's promise, "but my words shall not pass away" & "according to his promise" (the rainbow upon His head), no man, angel nor Satan himself knows the time of the very End when the Rapture occurs and heaven and earth shall pass away with fervent heat.
Verse 6 & 7 emphasize "that there should be time no longer" as "the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets".
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
(The first consummation was concerning Jesus' tribulation on the Cross and being completed as He ascended to Heaven with the end of the Temple Age. This second consummation is concerning this Final Great Tribulation and being completed with the Rapture and the End.)

Another interesting point to consider in Psalm 19
Concerning the Bridegroom and running the race
Ps 19:4-5 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
STUDY POINT: No created being knows what is written in the "little book".
This "little book" contains the timing (day/hour) and exact actions that will occur when the
Rapture happens and heaven and earth is destroyed as "there should be time no longer".
When is this day/hour of the "little book"? When Jesus places His feet on the earth & sea and uncreates His Creation.
