Revelation 10
The Angel and the
Little Book |
| 1 |
And I saw another mighty angel come down
from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his
head, and his face was as it were 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 foot on the earth,
|
| 3 |
and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders
uttered their voices.
|
| 4 |
And when the seven thunders had uttered
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders
uttered, and write them not.
|
| 5 |
And the angel which I saw stand upon the
sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
|
| 6 |
and sware by him that liveth for ever and
ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the
earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things
which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
|
| 7 |
but in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God
should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the
prophets. Dan. 12.7
|
| 8 |
And the voice which I heard from heaven
spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book
which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea
and upon the earth.
|
| 9 |
And I went unto the angel, and said unto
him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be
in thy mouth 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 as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. Ezek. 2.8--3.3
|
| 11 |
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy
again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and
kings.
