Revelation 10

The Mighty Angel and the Small Scroll

10Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face was like the sun, his legs were like fiery pillars,G2532G1492G243G2478G32G2597G1537G3772G4016G3507G2532G2463G1909G846G2776G2532G846G4383G5613G2246G2532G846G4228G5613G4769G44422and he had a little scroll opened in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea, his left on the land,G2532G2192G1722G846G5495G974G455G2532G5087G846G1188G4228G1909G2281G1161G2176G1909G10933and he cried out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their voices.G2532G2896G3173G5456G5618G3023G3455G2532G3753G2896G2033G1027G2980G1438G54564And 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, and do not write it down!"G2532G3753G2033G1027G2980G1438G5456G3195G1125G2532G191G5456G1537G3772G3004G3427G4972G3739G2033G1027G2980G2532G1125G5023G33615Then the angel that I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.G2532G32G3739G1492G2476G1909G2281G2532G1909G1093G142G846G5495G1519G37726He swore an oath by the One who lives forever and ever, 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,G2532G3660G1722G2198G1519G165G165G3739G2936G3772G2532G1722G846G2532G1093G2532G1722G846G2532G2281G2532G1722G846G3754G2071G5550G3756G20897but in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, when he will blow his trumpet, then God's hidden plan will be completed, as He announced to His servants the prophets."G235G1722G2250G5456G1442G32G3752G3195G4537G2532G3466G2316G5055G5613G2097G1438G1401G43968Now 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."G2532G5456G3739G191G1537G3772G2980G3326G1700G3825G2532G3004G5217G2983G974G3588G455G1722G5495G32G3588G2476G1909G2281G2532G1909G10939So 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."G2532G565G4314G32G3004G846G1325G3427G974G2532G3004G3427G2983G2532G2719G846G2719G2532G4087G4675G2836G4087G235G2071G1722G4675G4750G1099G5613G319210Then 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.G2532G2983G974G1537G32G5495G2532G2719G846G2719G2532G2258G1722G3450G4750G1099G5613G3192G2532G3753G5315G846G3450G2836G408711And I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."G2532G3004G3427G4571G1163G4395G3825G1909G4183G2992G2532G1484G2532G1100G2532G935
