Revelation 10
1 I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.
2 He had a little open scroll in his hand. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.
3 He cried out in a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their voices.
4 When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down.”
5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward heaven.
6 And he swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the land and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: “There will be no more time.
7 But in the days when the seventh angel’s voice is heard, when he is about to sound his trumpet, then God’s mystery will be fulfilled, as he announced the good news to his servants the prophets.”
8 And the voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the open scroll from the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the land.”
9 I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. In my mouth it was sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.
11 Then they told me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
