10:1 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 his feet as
pillars of fire:
10:2 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,
10:3 And
cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven
thunders uttered their voices.
10:4 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.
10:5 And
the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand
to heaven,
10:6 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:
10:7 But
in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound,
the mystery of Elohim should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants
the prophets.
10:8 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.
10:9 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.
10:10 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.
10:11 And
he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and
tongues, and kings.
