Revelation 10:1-11 (New American Standard)
View In My BibleThe Angel and the Little Book
1 I saw another 1strong angel 2coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud ; and the 3rainbow was upon his head, and 4his face was like the sun, and his 5feet like pillars of fire ; 2 and he had in his hand a 6little book which was open. He placed 7his right foot on the sea and his left on the land ; 3 and he cried out with a loud voice, 8as when a lion roars ; and when he had cried out, the 9seven peals of thunder auttered their voices. 4 When the seven peals of thunder had spoken, 10I was about to write ; and I 11heard a voice from heaven saying, "12Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken and do not write them." 5 Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land 13lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6 14and swore by 15Him who lives forever and ever, 16WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE EARTH AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE SEA AND THE THINGS IN IT, that 17there will be delay no longer, 7 but in the days of the voice of the 18seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then 19the mystery of God is finished, as He bpreached to His servants the prophets. 8 Then 20the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard again speaking with me, and saying, "Go, take 21the cbook which is open in the hand of the angel who 22stands on the sea and on the land." 9 So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, "23Take 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 book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey ; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11 And 24they said to me, "You must 25prophesy again concerning 26many peoples and nations and tongues and 27kings."New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
