Chapter 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: |
| 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. |
