When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don`t write them."

Verse Takeaways

Commentators emphasize that the command to 'seal up' the thunders demonstrates God's sovereign choice to withhold certain information. Like seeing only the tip of an iceberg, what God reveals is just a part of His total plan. This reminds believers to humbly trust in God's wisdom, even when faced with mysteries we cannot understand.
