Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Sware (wmosen). First aorist indicative of omnuw to swear.
By him that liveth (en tw zwnti). This use of en after omnuw instead of the usual accusative (James 5:12) is like the Hebrew (Matthew 5:34, Matthew 5:36). "The living one for ages of ages" is a common phrase in the Apocalypse for God as eternally existing (Revelation 1:18; Revelation 4:9-10; Revelation 15:7). This oath proves that this angel is not Christ.
Who created (ov ektisen). First aorist active indicative of ktizw, a reference to God's creative activity as seen in Genesis 1:1 ff.; Exodus 20:11; Isaiah 37:16; Isaiah 42:5; Psalms 33:6; Psalms 145:6, etc.
That there shall be time no longer (oti xronov ouketi estai). Future indicative indirect discourse with oti. But this does not mean that xronov (time), Einstein's "fourth dimension" (added to length, breadth, height), will cease to exist, but only that there will be no more delay in the fulfillment of the seventh trumpet (verse Revelation 10:7), in answer to the question, "How long?" (Revelation 6:10).
