Ḥazon (Revelation) 10
10
1And I saw another strong messenger coming down from the heaven, robed in a cloud, and a rainbow on his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like columns of fire,
2and having in his hand a little book opened. And he placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. And when he cried out, seven thunders spoke their sounds.
4And when the seven thunders spoke their sounds, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from the heaven saying to me, “Seal up what the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them.”
5And the messenger whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the heaven,#Gen. 14:22; Deu. 32:40
6and swore by Him who lives forever and ever,#Dan. 12:7 who created the heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it,#Neh. 9:6#See also Exo. 20:11; Psa. 146:6; Rev. 4:11 that there shall be no further delay,
7but in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, when he is about to sound, the secret of Elohim shall also be ended, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
8And the voice which I heard out of the heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the messenger standing on the sea and on the earth.”
9And I went to the messenger and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it,#See Eze. 2-3. This is a Hebraism which means to receive knowledge. and it shall make your stomach bitter, but it shall be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
10And I took the little book out of the messenger’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth,#Ezek. 3:3 but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
11And he said to me, “You have to prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and sovereigns.”

Revelation 10
10
The Angel and the Little Scroll
1#Mt 17:2; Rev 1:15–16Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2#Rev 10:5He had a little scroll open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3#Isa 31:4; Joel 3:16and cried out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he cried out, seven thunders sounded their voices. 4#Da 8:26; 12:4And when the seven thunders sounded their voices, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up those things which the seven thunders said, and do not write them.”
5#Da 12:7; Ge 14:22; Dt 32:40The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the earth lifted up his hand to heaven 6#Rev 4:11and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in them, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be no more delay. 7#Ro 16:25But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, as He has declared to His servants the prophets.
8Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth.”
9#Jer 15:16; Eze 2:8So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little scroll.” He said to me, “Take it and eat it. ‘It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’#Eze 3:3.” 10I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11#Eze 37:4Then he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
