When the sevenpeals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heavensaying, "Seal up the things which the sevenpeals of thunder have spoken and do not write them."
6
and swore by Him who livesforever and ever, WHOCREATEDHEAVEN AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE EARTH AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE SEA AND THE THINGS IN IT, that there will be delaynolonger,

but in the days of the voice of the seventhangel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.
8
Then the voicewhich I heard from heaven, I heard againspeaking with me, and saying, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land."
9
So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the littlebook. And he said to me, "Take it and eat it; it will make your stomachbitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."
