"And I saw the angel standing on sea and on land raised his hand to heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and things are in it, and earth and things that are therein, and the sea and things that are in it, that time no longer "(Revelation 10: 5, 6).
The mighty angel who instructed John was none other than Christ. When you place your right foot on the sea and his left foot on dry land, shows the part played in the final scenes of the great controversy with Satan. This position denotes its supreme power and authority over all land. The conflict has intensified and sharpened from one era to another, and will continue to intensify until the final scenes, when the masterpiece of the powers of darkness will be maximized ...
when the seven thunders uttered their voices, he is ordered to John, and Daniel, with regard to the book: "Seal up what the seven thunders have said" ... John sees the book to which they have removed the seals. It follows that the prophecies of Daniel have their application in the world proclaiming the messages of the first, second and third angel. The opening of the book was the message in relation to time.
The books of Daniel and Revelation are one. The first is a prophecy, the other a revelation, one is a sealed book, the other an open book ... The special light that was given to John, expressed in the seven thunders, was an outline of events that must occur under the messages of the angels first and second. Messages from the angels first and second should be proclaimed, but there was more light be revealed before these messages had made their specific work ...
This time, the angel declares with a solemn oath, not the end of the world's history nor the time of grace, but of prophetic time preceding the advent of our Lord, that is, people will not have another message about a definite time. After this period, which now spans from 1842 to 1844, there can be no definite prophetic time computation. The calculation gets longer until the autumn of 1844.
The position of the angel, one foot on the sea, and the other on earth, "means the extension of the proclamation of the message. Cross the wide oceans and will be proclaimed in other countries around the world. The understanding of truth, the joyful reception of the message are represented by the act of devouring the book. The truth about the coming of our Lord was [is] a wonderful message for our souls (Manuscript 59, 1900). EGW
