Finally the seventh seal is opened (Revelation 8)
It describes seven other aspects of end-time events, each announced with a trumpet blast.
In the first four of these plagues God strikes the earth and mankind's environmental support systems.
The fifth trumpet's plague inflicts great pain on those refusing to serve God.
In the sixth trumpet plague, God permits an unimaginably destructive and all-out worldwide war to begin (Revelation 8-9).
With the sounding of the seventh trumpet, the Bible reveals that "the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets" (Revelation 10:7)
Somehow the comment "was not written for thousands of years in the future is obviously incorrect
revelation 10
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.
Quite obviously the context is the end of time
"was not written for readers thousands in the future."
Is obviously an incorrect statement when looking at what the writer was portraying an end of time sinerio
The context is clearly an end time sinerio
