5   And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,    6   And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:    7   But 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. ~ REVELATION 10:5-7

The paradox here is that this event has already been manifested in our age, yet time is still going on. Maybe the declaration of “time no longer” doesn’t have to do with literal time being no more, but the effect of time on those that are the focus of this prophetic event. Maybe THE mystery being “finished” requires a view outside of time. Maybe the Mind of Christ has nothing to do with a time perspective at all, but sees things as they are and have always been. Maybe the mystery being revealed has something to do with YOU being “without beginning of days or ending of life”.
