			Under William Branham's interpretation, the angel of Revelation 3:14 and the angel of Revelation 3:14 are the same angel. Additionally, William Branham must himself be the LAMB since it is the Lamb who opens each of the seven seals of Revelation chapter 6 and Revelation 8:1.

	Revelation 10:7 in the New American Standard Bible, a word for word translation, states ~~that~~:		Revelation 10:7 in the New American Standard Bible, a word for word translation, states:

	:''but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, '''when he is about to sound''', then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.<ref>New American Standard Bible, 1995 Edition: Paragraph Version (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Re 10:7</ref>		:''...but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, '''when he is about to sound''', then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.<ref>New American Standard Bible, 1995 Edition: Paragraph Version (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Re 10:7</ref>

			Revelation 10:7 is prior to the sounding of the seventh trumpet - "when he is about to sound."

			The mystery (not multiple "mysteries") of God is finished. The mystery is that which had been previously announced by God to His servants the prophets. It is not something that the seventh angel announces.

	===When does this take place?===		===When does this take place?===

	The Greek can literally be translated, “but in the days of the voice [phonē] of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet.” Since the seventh angel does not speak, however, the word phonē must refer to the “sound” that the angel’s trumpet makes. Fulfillment does not come when the angel is “about to” blow the trumpet but occurs after the trumpet sounds in Revelation 11:15.<ref>Craig R. Koester, Revelation: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary, ed. John J. Collins, vol. 38A, Anchor Yale Bible (New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 2014), 480.</ref>		The Greek can literally be translated, “but in the days of the voice [phonē] of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet.” Since the seventh angel does not speak, however, the word "phonē" must refer to the “sound” that the angel’s trumpet makes.

	'''The Bible does not teach that Revelation 3:14, the unveiling of Revelation 6, and Revelation 10:7 all happen at the same time.''' It also does not teach that the Angel in Revelation 3 is the same angel as that in Revelation 10. It does not teach that the Angel to Laodicea in Revelation 3:14 is the one who opens the seals (the Lamb is the one that opens the seals). Similarly, the Bible does not teach that the Angel to Laodicea is the same angel ~~that~~ sounds in Revelation 11:15.		The angels of Revelation chapters 2 & 3 do not have trumpets. The ones with trumpets are the angels of Revelation 8:1.

'''What William Branham did was to use a number of scriptures, including Rev, 10:7, for the sole purpose of pointing to himself (in a fashion that the Bible never intended).'''

			=Where did William Branham get his interpretation?=

			In his book, The Finished Mystery, Charles Taze Russel said this about the seventh seal of Revelation 6:15:

			:''Had opened the '''seventh seal'''.—“The seal of the living God.” (Rev. 7:2.) The opening of the seventh seal is progressive. The opening and unfolding of the Truth goes on as the saints are sealed. By the time the saints are all sealed in their hearts and minds with the Present Truth, the deepest features of the Truth itself will have been disclosed. “The time will undoubtedly come in the near future when the number of the Elect will be complete. Then only such vacancies as might still occur by some falling out would remain.” (Z. ’14‐68.) “God’s people down through this Gospel age have been privileged to know something of the ‘Secret of the Lord’—the Divine Plan. But not until the last seal is broken, does the scroll fly wide open, '''permitting the ‘Mystery of God’ to be fully disclosed; as it is written: ‘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.'''’ (Rev. 5:1; '''10:7'''.)”—Z. ’97‐257.

			:''10:4. And [when] WHATSOEVER the '''seven thunders''' had uttered [their voices], I.—Pastor Russell as a representative of the John class.

			:''10:7. But in the days of the voice of the '''seventh angel'''.—Pastor Russell was the seventh angel.—'''Rev. 3:14.'''

			Charles Taze Russel went on to explain that a series of seven subjects he published between 1880 and 1910 were the seven thunders that fully revealed the mystery of God, which completed the unrolling of the seventh seal.
