"And the angel which I saw stand upon
the sea and upon the earth lifted up his
hand to heaven,
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:"
Revelation 10:5-6

There was to be no more time (delay of
time). The time allowed for Satan to do
his thing on the earth was over. Now it
ends.

The judgments of God are cutting short
the days of his wickedness.
