The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

(Revelation 10:5-7)

---

Upon the shore where earth meets sea,
An angel stands with majesty,
He lifts his hand towards the sky,
Swears by the One who cannot die.

Creation’s breath in heaven’s span,
The sea, the earth, the work of man,
The seventh trumpet soon will cry,
And all God’s mysteries untie.
