Revelation 10
10
The Angel and the Little Scroll
1Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with #Ezek. 1:28 a rainbow over his head, and #ch. 1:16; Matt. 17:2 his face was like the sun, and #ch. 1:15his legs like pillars of fire. 2#ver. 8-10He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3and called out with a loud voice, #Joel 3:16; Amos 1:2like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, #Dan. 8:26; 12:4, 9; [ch. 22:10]“Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land #See Gen. 14:22raised his right hand to heaven 6and swore by #See ch. 4:9 him who lives forever and ever, #See ch. 4:11who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7but that #ch. 11:15 in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, #[Amos 3:7]just as he announced to his servants the prophets.
8Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, #Ezek. 2:8; 3:1-3 “Take and #[Jer. 15:16]eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. 11And I was told, #[Ezek. 37:4]“You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”

Revelation 10
10
1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land. 3He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 4When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.”
5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky 6and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay, 7but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants the prophets.
8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.”
9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book.
He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11They#10:11 TR reads “He” instead of “They” told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
