Revelation 10:1-11
And 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
legs like pillars of fire. He held a little scroll open in his hand.
Setting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, he gave
a great shout, like a lion roaring. And when he shouted, the seven
thunders sounded. And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to
write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven
thunders have said, and do not write it down." Then the angel whom I saw
standing on the sea and the land
raised his right hand to heaven
and swore by him 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 be no more delay, but in the days when
the seventh angel is to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God will be
fulfilled, as he announced to his servants the prophets."
Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying,
"Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing
on the sea and on the land." So I went to the angel and told him to give
me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take it, and eat; it will be
bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth." So I took the
little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it; it was sweet as honey
in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
Then they said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples and
nations and languages and kings."
