Revelation 10

(Ezekiel 3:1–15)

1ThenG2532 I sawG3708 anotherG243 mightyG2478 angelG32 coming downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, wrapped inG4016 a cloudG3507, with aG3588 rainbowG2463 aboveG1909 hisG846 headG2776. HisG846 faceG4383 was likeG5613 theG3588 sunG2246, andG2532 hisG846 legsG4228 were likeG5613 pillarsG4769 of fireG4442. 2He heldG2192 inG1722 hisG846 handG5495 a small scrollG974, which lay openG455. He placedG5087 hisG846 rightG1188 footG4228 onG1909 theG3588 seaG2281 andG1161 his leftG2176 foot onG1909 theG3588 landG1093. 3ThenG2532 he cried outG2896 in a loud voiceG3173G5456 likeG5618 the roarG3455 of a lionG3023. AndG2532 whenG3753 he cried outG2896, theG3588 sevenG2033 thundersG1027 soundedG2980 theirG1438 voicesG5456.

WhenG3753 theG3588 sevenG2033 thundersG1027 had spokenG2980, I was aboutG3195 to put it in writingG1125. ButG2532 I heardG191 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004, “Seal upG4972 whatG3739 theG3588 sevenG2033 thundersG1027 have saidG2980, andG2532 do notG3361 writeG1125 it downG846.”

5ThenG2532 theG3588 angelG32 I had seenG3708 standingG2476 onG1909 theG3588 seaG2281 andG2532 onG1909 theG3588 landG1093 lifted upG142 hisG846 rightG1188 handG5495 toG1519 heavenG3772. 6AndG2532 he sworeG3660 byG1722 Him whoG3588 livesG2198 foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG165, whoG3739 createdG2936 heavenG3772 andG2532 everything inG1722 itG846, theG3588 earthG1093 andG2532 everything inG1722 itG846, andG2532 theG3588 seaG2281 andG2532 everything inG1722 itG846: “There will beG1510 no moreG3765 delayG5550! 7ButG235 inG1722 theG3588 daysG2250 of theG3588 voiceG5456 of theG3588 seventhG1442 angelG32, whenG3752 he beginsG3195 to sound his trumpetG4537, theG3588 mysteryG3466 of GodG2316 will be fulfilledG5055, just asG5613 He proclaimedG2097 to HisG1438 servantsG1401 theG3588 prophetsG4396.”

8ThenG2532 theG3588 voiceG5456 thatG3739 I had heardG191 fromG1537 heavenG3772 spokeG2980 toG3326 meG1473 againG3825, sayingG3004, “GoG5217, takeG2983 theG3588 small scrollG975 thatG3588 lies openG455 inG1722 theG3588 handG5495 of theG3588 angelG32 standingG2476 onG1909 theG3588 seaG2281 andG2532 onG1909 theG3588 landG1093.”

9AndG2532 I wentG565 toG4314 theG3588 angelG32 and saidG3004, “GiveG1325 meG1473 theG3588 small scrollG974.”

“TakeG2983 it andG2532 eatG2719 itG846,” he saidG3004. “It will makeG4087 yourG4771 stomach bitterG2836, butG235 inG1722 yourG4771 mouthG4750 it will beG1510 as sweetG1099 asG5613 honeyG3192.”1

10So I tookG2983 theG3588 small scrollG974 fromG1537 theG3588 angel’sG32 handG5495 andG2532 ateG2719 itG846, andG2532 it wasG1510 as sweetG1099 asG5613 honeyG3192 inG1722 myG1473 mouthG4750. But whenG3753 I had eatenG5315 itG846, myG1473 stomachG2836 turned bitterG4087.

11AndG2532 they toldG3004 meG1473, “YouG4771 mustG1163 prophesyG4395 againG3825 aboutG1909 manyG4183 peoplesG2992 andG2532 nationsG1484 andG2532 tonguesG1100 andG2532 kingsG935.”
