Revelation 10
1And I saw another strong angel coming down from heaven clothed in a cloud, and a rainbow was over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.
2And he had in his hand a little scroll standing open, and he placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the earth,
3and he cried out with a great voice just as a lion roars, and when he cried out the seven thunders spoke their own voices.
4And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders spoke and do not write them."
5And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven
6and swore by the One living forever and ever, who created heaven and the things in it and the earth and the things in it and the sea and the things in it: "time will be no more,
7but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God is completed, as He proclaimed the good news to His servants the prophets."
8And the voice that I heard from heaven was speaking with me again, saying, "Go, take the little scroll that is standing open in the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the earth."
9And I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little scroll, and he says to me, "Take and eat it, and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."
10And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey, and when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
11And they say to me, "You must again prophesy over peoples and nations and tongues and many kings."
