This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Sware (ōmosen). First aorist indicative of omnuō to swear.
By him that liveth (en tōi zōnti). This use of en after omnuō instead of the usual accusative (Jam 5:12) is like the Hebrew (Mat 5:34, Mat 5:36). “The living one for ages of ages” is a common phrase in the Apocalypse for God as eternally existing (Rev 1:18; Rev 4:9, Rev 4:10; Rev 15:7). This oath proves that this angel is not Christ.
Who created (hos ektisen). First aorist active indicative of ktizō, a reference to God’s creative activity as seen in Gen 1:1.; Exo 20:11; Isa 37:16; Isa 42:5; Psa 33:6; Psa 145:6, etc.
That there shall be time no longer (hoti chronos ouketi estai). Future indicative indirect discourse with hoti. But this does not mean that chronos (time), Einstein’s “fourth dimension” (added to length, breadth, height), will cease to exist, but only that there will be no more delay in the fulfillment of the seventh trumpet (Rev 10:7), in answer to the question, “How long?” (Psa 6:10).
