Doesn't sound like they come from 7 beings speaking loudly either. One angel speaks, and then the voices of 7 thunders are heard. I wonder if this is like an echo from the one voice.
It also seems like this is the 7th angel, the last one with a trump.
Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Rev 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Rev 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:
Rev 10:2 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,
Rev 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
Rev 10:4 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.
Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
Rev 10:6 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:
Rev 10:7 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.
1Thess4 gives us a detailed account of the thunder pertaining to the Resurrection and redemption of the body of Christ.
1Th 4:16-17 KJV 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Rev 10 says that it is a mighty, or very powerful angel, i.e. ,an arch angel that cries with a loud voice... which is a shout. When does this take place? In immediate conjunction with the sounding of the 1st Trumpet... the trump of God.
Rev 8:2-6 KJV 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer
it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast
it into the earth: and there were VOICES, and THUNDERINGS, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
What happens? The Mighty Angel bridges the gap [the impassable Gulf between the land of the living and [the spirits of those who have died] that stands between earth and the crystal sea.
Where do they go? Back to heaven to be with the Lord while the remaining judgments of the trumpets and vials take place, thence to return with the Lord Jesus in Rev 19.
The 4th thunder is when the last trumpet sounds. Found within that account [7th Trumpet] is:
1. The judgment of the dead,
2. Giving reward to the prophets and saints, (righteous ones)
3. The visible kingdom of God.[on earth comes] becomes the kingdom of God and his Christ.
4. The [last] 7th trumpet sounds.
5. The mystery of the resurrection becomes a reality to the rest of the world.
All of these things are also laid out by Paul in 1COR15 when the kingdom is inherited.
1Co 15:50-53 KJV 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Jesus said that the world would witness Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and many others [of the resurrection] coming from the east and west to sit down in the kingdom of heaven, while the remnant children of the kingdom are cast out.
Mat 8:11-12 KJV 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The mystery of the resurrection will no longer be a mystery when the 7th trumpet sounds.
Rev 10:7 KJV 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.
