CHAPTER 10
Then
I saw
another
mighty
angel
coming down
from
heaven,
wrapped in
a cloud,
with
a
rainbow
above
his
head.
His
face
was like
the
sun,
and
his
legs
like
pillars
of fire.
He held
in
his
hand
a small scroll,
which lay open.
He placed
his
right
foot
on
the
sea
and
his
left foot
on
the
land.
Then
he cried out
in a loud voice
like
the roar
of a lion.
And
when
he cried out,
the
seven
thunders
sounded
their
voices.
When
the
seven
thunders
had spoken,
I was about
to put it in writing.
But
I heard
a voice
from
heaven
saying,
“Seal up
what
the
seven
thunders
have said,
and
do not
write
it down."
And
he swore
by
Him who
lives
forever
and
ever,
who
created
heaven
and
everything
in
it,
the
earth
and
everything
in
it,
and
the
sea
and
everything
in
it:
There will be
no more
delay!
But
in
the
days
of the
voice
of the
seventh
angel,
when
he is about
to sound his trumpet,
the
mystery
of God
will be fulfilled,
just as
He proclaimed
to His
servants,
the
prophets.
Then
the
voice
that
I had heard
from
heaven
spoke
to
me
again,
saying,
“Go,
take
the
small scroll
that
lies open
in
the
hand
of the
angel
standing
on
the
sea
and
on
the
land."
And
I went
to
the
angel
and said,
“Give
me
the
small scroll.”
“Take it
and
eat
it,”
he said.
“It will make
your
stomach bitter,
but
in
your
mouth
it will be
sweet
as
honey.”
So
I took
the
small scroll
from
the
angel’s
hand
and
ate
it;
and
it was
sweet
as
honey
in
my
mouth,
but
when
I had eaten
it,
my
stomach
turned bitter.
And
they told
me,
“You
must
prophesy
again
about
many
peoples
and
nations
and
tongues
and
kings.”
