Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
In context
3and he called out in a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders raised their voices. 4When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it, that there would be no more delay — 7but in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.
