Revelation 10
10
1 THEN I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, robed in a cloud, with a [halo like a] rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his feet (legs) were like columns of fire.
2 He had a little book (scroll) open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3 And he shouted with a loud voice like the roaring of a lion; and when he had shouted, the seven thunders gave voice and uttered their message in distinct words.
4 And when the seven thunders had spoken (sounded), I was going to write [it down], but I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders have said! Do not write it down!
5 Then the [mighty] angel whom I had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven (the sky), [Deut. 32:40; Dan. 12:6, 7.]
6 And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay,
7 But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed). [Dan. 12:6, 7.]
8 Then the voice that I heard from heaven spoke again to me, saying, Go and take the little book (scroll) which is open on the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.
9 So I went up to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said to me, Take it and eat it. It will embitter your stomach, though in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey. [Ezek. 2:8, 9; 3:1-3.]
10 So I took the little book from the angel's hand and ate and swallowed it; it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but once I had swallowed it, my stomach was embittered.
11 Then they said to me, You are to make a fresh prophecy concerning many peoples and races and nations and languages and kings. [Jer. 1:10.]

Revelation 10
10
The Mighty Angel with the Little Book
1I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. #Ezek. 1:26–28; Rev. 4:3And a rainbow was on #Matt. 17:2; Rev. 1:16his head, his face was like the sun, and #Rev. 1:15his feet like pillars of fire. 2He had a little book open in his hand. #Ps. 95:5; Matt. 28:18And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, #Ps. 29:3–9; Rev. 4:5; 8:5seven thunders uttered their voices. 4Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, #Dan. 8:26; 12:4, 9; Rev. 22:10“Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”
5The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land #Ex. 6:8; Deut. 32:40; Dan. 12:7raised up his hand to heaven 6and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, #Gen. 1:1; Ex. 20:11; Neh. 9:6; Rev. 4:11who 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, #Dan. 12:7; Rev. 16:17that there should be delay no longer, 7but #Rev. 11:15in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
John Eats the Little Book
8Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”
9So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.”
And he said to me, #Jer. 15:16; Ezek. 2:8; 3:1–3“Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
10Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, #Ezek. 3:3and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, #Ezek. 2:10my stomach became bitter. 11And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
