REVELATIONS CHAPTER X.

[1 A mighty strong angel appeareth with a book open in his hand: 6 he sweareth by him 
that liveth for ever, that there shall be no more time. 9 John is commanded to take and eat the book.]


AND  I saw another mighty angel come down 
from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow
was upon his head, and his face was as it were 
the sun, and feet as pillars of fire: 
2 And he had in his hand a little book open:
and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left 
foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion 
roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders 
uttered their voices. 
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their 
voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things
which the seven thunders uttered, and write them 
not. 
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea
and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven, 
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever,
who created heaven, and the things that therein
are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, 
and the sea, and the things which are therein, that 
there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh 
angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of 
God should be finished, as he hath declared to his 
servants the prophets.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven 
spake unto me again, and said, Go, and take the little 
book which is open in the hand of the angel which 
standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, 
Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take 
it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, 
but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's 
hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth 
sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it my 
belly was bitter. 
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy
again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, 
and kings.
