The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land
raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who
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, that there should be delay no
longer, but in 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.

The mighty angel gives a solemn oath
declaring that the end is irrevocably set in motion, that there should be delay no longer. There is absolutely no
turning back. (DG)

Remember that in Biblical vocabulary, a mystery isn’t something no one knows.
A mystery is something no one could
know unless it was revealed to him. If you could know it by intuition or
personal investigation, it isn’t a mystery, because mysteries must be revealed.
Therefore, something can be known and still be a mystery in the Biblical sense, if it would never have been known
if it wasn’t revealed. (DG)
