⁵ Then the [mighty] angel whom I had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven (the ^[a]sky),^(A)

⁶ And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (^[b]sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay,

⁷ But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God’s mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed).^(B)
