Revelation 10:6
Compare all
4 Now when the seven thunders1 uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying2 to me, a“Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”  
5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land araised up his hand to heaven  
6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, awho 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, bthat there should be delay no longer,  
7 but ain 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.  

John Eats the Little Book

8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”
9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, a“Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

Revelation 10:6

liveth for ever and ever—Greek, "liveth unto the ages of the ages" (compare Daniel 12:7).

created heaven . . . earth . . . sea, etc.—This detailed designation of God as the Creator, is appropriate to the subject of the angel's oath, namely, the consummating of the mystery of God (Revelation 10:7), which can surely be brought to pass by the same Almighty power that created all things, and by none else.

that there should be time no longer—Greek, "that time (that is, an interval of time) no longer shall be." The martyrs shall have no longer a time to wait for the accomplishment of their prayers for the purgation of the earth by the judgments which shall remove their and God's foes from it (Revelation 6:11). The appointed season or time of delay is at an end (the same Greek is here as in Revelation 6:11, chronus). Not as English Version implies, Time shall end and eternity begin.
