Chapter 10
10And—I—saw—another—strong—messenger—come—down—from—heaven,—clothed—with—a—cloud,—and—the—rainbow—was—upon—his—head,—and—his—face—was—as—it—were—the—sun,—and—his—feet—as—pillars—of—fire:—
2and—he—had—in—his—hand—a—diminutive—book—open.—And—he—placed—his—right—foot—upon—the—sea,—and—his—left—foot—on—the—earth,—
3and—cried—with—a—great—voice,—as—when—a—lion—roars.—And—when—he—had—cried,—the—seven—thunders—spoke—with—their—voices.—
4And—when—the—seven—thunders—had—spoken,—I—was—about—to—write,—and—I—heard—a—voice—from—heaven—saying,—“Seal—up—those—things—which—the—seven—thunders—spoke—and—write—them—not.”—
5And—the—messenger—whom—I—saw—stand—upon—the—sea—and—upon—the—earth—lifted—up—his—right—hand—to—heaven,—
6and—swore—by—him—who—lives—unto—the—ages—of—the—ages,—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—season—no—longer:—
7but—in—the—days—of—the—voice—of—the—seventh—messenger,—when—he—is—about—to—blow,—the—mystery—of—God—is—finished,—as—he—has—announced—to—his—bond-servants—the—prophets.—
8And—the—voice—which—I—heard—from—heaven—spoke—with—me—again—and—said,—“Go—and—take—the—book—which—is—open—in—the—hand—of—the—messenger—who—stands—upon—the—sea—and—upon—the—earth.”—
9And—I—went—unto—the—messenger,—saying—unto—him—to—give—me—the—diminutive—book.—And—he—saidⁿ—unto—me,—“Take—it—and—devour—it;—and—it—shall—make—thy—belly—bitter,—but—it—shall—be—in—thy—mouth—sweet—as—honey.”—
10And—I—took—the—diminutive—book—out—of—the—hand—of—the—messenger—and—devoured—it;—and—it—was—in—my—mouth—sweet—as—honey,—and—as—soon—as—I—had—eaten—it,—my—belly—was—bitter.—
11And—they—saidⁿ—unto—me,—“You—must—prophesy—again—before—many—peoples,—and—nations,—and—tongues,—and—kings.”—
