Revelation 10
10
1Then I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, with a cloud wrapped around him and with a rainbow over his head. His face looked like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2He was holding a small scroll that had already been opened. He placed his right foot on the sea, and this left foot on the land. 3He gave a great shout, like a lion roaring. When he shouted, the seven thunders responded. 4When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write down what they said when I heard a voice from heaven that told me, “Keep under seal what the seven thunders said. Don't write them down.” 5The angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land held up his right hand to heaven. 6He made a sacred oath by the one who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and everything in them, and the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it. “No more delay!” he said. 7But at the time when the seventh angel speaks, when he blows his trumpet, then the mystery#10:7. As always, this is a “revealed mystery.” In other words, “God's mysterious plan will be accomplished.” of God will be completed—the good news he announced through his servants the prophets.
8Then I heard again the voice from heaven telling me, “Go and take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel that stands on the sea and on the land.” 9So I went to the angel, and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it up. It will be sour in your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth.”#10:9. For reference see Numbers 5:24 and Ezekiel 3:3. 10I took the little scroll from the angel and ate it up. In my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but it was sour in my stomach. 11I was told, “You must prophesy again regarding many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”

Revelation 10
10
1And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,
2and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land,
3and he cried with a great voice, as a lion doth roar, and when he cried, speak out did the seven thunders their voices;
4and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, ‘Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,’ and, ‘Thou mayest not write these things.’
5And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven,
6and did swear in Him who doth live to the ages of the ages, who did create the heaven and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it — that time shall not be yet,
7but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the prophets.
8And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, ‘Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:’
9and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, ‘Give me the little scroll;’ and he saith to me, ‘Take, and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet — as honey.’
10And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey — sweet, and when I did eat it — my belly was made bitter;
11and he saith to me, ‘It behoveth thee again to prophesy about peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings — many.’
