Revelation 10

The Mighty Angel and the Small Scroll
1Then I saw another mighty angel # Rv 5:2; 18:21 coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow # Rv 4:3 over his head. # Or a halo on his head His face was like the sun, his legs # Or feet were like fiery pillars, # Rv 3:12 2and he had a little scroll opened in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea, his left on the land, 3and he cried out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their voices. 4And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders said, # Dn 8:26; 12:4,9 and do not write it down! ”
5Then the angel that I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. 6He swore an oath by the One who lives forever and ever, # Dn 12:7 who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: “There will no longer be an interval of time, # Or be a delay 7but in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, # Rv 11:15; 16:17 when he will blow his trumpet, then God’s hidden plan # Rv 1:20; 17:5,7 will be completed, as He announced to His servants # Or slaves the prophets.” # 2Kg 9:7; 17:23; Ezk 38:17; Am 3:7; Zch 1:6; 1Pt 2:10-12
8Now the voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing 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 and eat it; it will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” # Ps 119:103; Jr 15:16; Ezk 2:8–3:3
10Then I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I ate it, my stomach became bitter. # Nm 5:24; Ezk 3:1-3 11And I was told, # Lit And they said to me “You must prophesy again about # Or prophesy again against many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.” # Dn 3:4,7; 4:1; 5:19; 7:14; Rv 5:9; 7:9; 11:9

Revelation 10
10
The Angel and the Little Scroll
1 And I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, and a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire,#Or “like fiery pillars” 2and holding in his hand a little scroll that was opened. And he put his right foot on the sea and his#*Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun left on the land. 3And he cried out with a loud voice like a lion roars, and when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded#Or “spoke” their own voices. 4And when the seven thunders spoke,#Or “sounded” I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them!”
5And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6and swore by the one who lives forever and ever#Literally “for the ages of the ages”, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, “There will be no more delay! 7But in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, whenever he is about to blow the trumpet, then#Literally “and” the mystery of God is completed, as he announced to his own slaves the prophets.”
8And the voice that I had heard from heaven was speaking with me again and saying, “Go, take the opened scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9And I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll, and he said to me, “Take and eat it up, and 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 up, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth, and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11And they said to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
