Context of Revelation 10:6
4And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that are in it, and the earth, and the things that are in it, and the sea, and the things which are in it, that there should be delay no longer: 7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, Go and take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

Commentaries on Revelation 10:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6By him that liveth for ever and ever - The eternal, self-existent Jehovah, the Maker of all things. That there should be time no longer - That the great counsels relative to the events already predicted should be immediately fulfilled, and that there should be no longer delay. This has no reference to the day of judgment.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6And sware by him that liveth forever and ever - By the ever-living God: a form of an oath in extensive use now. The essential idea in such an oath is an appeal to God; a solemn reference to Him as a witness; an utterance in the presence of Him who is acquainted with the truth or falsehood of what is said, and who will punish him who appeals to him falsely. It is usual, in such an oath, in order to give to it greater solemnity, to refer to some attribute…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5-6Raising the right hand is common for taking an oath today, but it is rare in the Bible (compare Genesis 14:22; 24:9; Daniel 12:7).

When God made an oath, he used his own name, because there is no higher authority (see Genesis 22:16; Psalm 89:35–36; Jeremiah 22:5; Hebrews…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 66. liveth for ever and ever--Greek, "liveth unto the ages of the ages" (compare Da 12:7). created heaven ... earth ... sea, &c.--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 (Re 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…Read the comment
