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.”

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.”
