What the Fathers say

Revelation 10:6

Western Saints

Bede

Because time shall be no more. Indeed, as the psalm says, there will be a time for the wicked forever (Psalm LXXX), but the mutable variety of secular times will cease at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise incorruptible, and their inheritance will be forever (1 Corinthians XV).

Commentary on Revelation ↗

Bonaventure

But the seventh time, that of rest, starts with the angel swearing "by Him who lives forever, that there shall be delay no longer; but that in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, the mystery of God will be accomplished."
