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 . ~~~~~~
