The act of swearing by God underscores the seriousness and certainty of the message being delivered. In biblical context, oaths were often made by invoking God's eternal nature, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/32-40.htm">Deuteronomy 32:40</a> and <a href="/daniel/12-7.htm">Daniel 12:7</a>. This reflects the unchanging and everlasting character of God, who is beyond time and human limitations.who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it This part of the verse highlights God's role as the Creator of all things, affirming His sovereignty over the entire universe. It echoes <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, where God is described as the Creator of the heavens, the earth, and the sea. This comprehensive creation account serves to remind readers of God's ultimate authority and power over all creation, reinforcing the idea that nothing exists outside of His will and purpose.There will be no more delay! This declaration signifies the imminent fulfillment of God's prophetic plans. In the context of Revelation, it indicates that the time for waiting is over, and the final stages of God's judgment and redemption are about to unfold. This aligns with the prophetic urgency found in other scriptures, such as <a href="/habakkuk/2-3.htm">Habakkuk 2:3</a>, where the vision awaits its appointed time and will not delay.

The Triune God (cf. <a href="/revelation/1-11.htm">Revelation 1:11</a>; <a href="/revelation/4-10.htm">Revelation 4:10</a>, etc.; also <a href="/deuteronomy/32-40.htm">Deuteronomy 32:40</a>; <a href="/psalms/45-6.htm">Psalm 45:6</a>; <a href="/hebrews/1-8.htm">Hebrews 1:8</a>, etc.). 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. Though the balance of authority is in favour of the last clause, yet it is omitted by אָ, A, and some cursives (cf. <a href="/exodus/20-4.htm">Exodus 20:4</a>). These two characteristics of God - his eternity and his omnipotence - are referred to in order to demonstrate the certainty of the fulfilment of the prophecy which follows. That there should be time no longer (ὅτι χρόνος οὐκέτι ἔσται); that time no longer shall be. This may be rendered: (1) Time (a finite terminable period, as opposed to eternity) shall no longer exist, but eternity shall be entered upon. (2) There shall be no more time, in the sense of "there shall be no longer any delay" in the infliction of the last judgment, set forth under the seventh trumpet. The solution seems to be that both meanings are implied. There seems to be a reference to the words of <a href="/revelation/6-11.htm">Revelation 6:11</a>, to the ἔτι χρόνον μικρόν, during which the saints were to rest and await the infliction of God's wrath upon the ungodly. The visions of the first six trumpets have shown how, in the period of the world's existence, the ungodly do not escape judicial retribution. But that is not all; the force of the six judgments not having served to reduce the worldly to repentance, there can be no more delay, the last final judgment follows. But the last judgment, which follows quickly upon the other six (<a href="/revelation/11-14.htm">Revelation 11:14</a>), is for eternity (<a href="/revelation/11-18.htm">Revelation 11:18</a>). The advent of this woe is, therefore, simultaneous with the end of χρόνος, or "time," by which we signify that definite period, cut out of eternity, as it were, which is coeval with the existence of the world, and ceases with its destruction. The expression, therefore, implies, "The measure of God's punishments, viewed as opportunities for repentance, is exhausted; there is a limit to his endurance; the allotted time having been run, and his mercy to a large extent having been spurned, there is no more delay;" then falls the last final blow, which is at the end of "time," and at the beginning (for many) of eternity. Ebrard renders, "A space of time in which to repent" - a meaning compatible with the explanation given above. Others render, "The time of the fulfilment shall not be yet, but it shall be when the seventh trumpet sounds;" but this interpretation makes χρόνος equal καιρός. Others, again, have made χρόνος, a chronus, equal a definite number of years, and have endeavoured to compute the exact equivalent of the period (see Bengel, in loc.). <a href="/commentaries/revelation/10-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And καὶ (kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely. he swore ὤμοσεν (ōmosen) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3660.htm">Strong's 3660: </a> A prolonged form of a primary, but obsolete omo, for which another prolonged form omoo is used in certain tenses; to swear, i.e. Take oath. by ἐν (en) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> In, on, among.
