Revelation 10

1 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire;2 and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth;3 and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.4 And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.5 And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,6 and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets.8 And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.9 And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.11 And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

Revelation 10

The Angel with the Little Scroll

1 Thent I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrappedt in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.t2 He heldt in his hand a little scroll that was open, and he put his right foot on the sea and his left on the land.3 Thent he shouted in a loud voice like a lion roaring, and when he shouted, the seven thunders sounded their voices.4 When the seven thunders spoke, I was preparing to write, butt just thent I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders spoke and do not write it down.”5 Thent the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven6 and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, and the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, “There will be no more delay!t7 But in the dayst when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God is completed,t just as he hast proclaimed to his servantst the prophets.”8 Thent the voice I had heard from heaven began to speakt to met again,t “Go and take the opent scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”9 Sot I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. Het said to me, “Take the scrollt and eat it. Itt will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”10 Sot I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did tastet as sweet as honey in my mouth, butt when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

11 Thent theyt told me: “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations,t languages, and kings.”
