Revelation 10

* The Angel and A Little Scroll

- Another interlude happen before the sounding of the 7th trumpet: Describe or better yet draw a picture of the mighty angel whose feet is on the earth and sea. [10:1-3]

1. I saw another powerful angel come down from heaven. This one was covered with a cloud, and a rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun, his legs were like columns of fire, 2 and with his hand he held a little scroll[a] that had been unrolled. He stood there with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. 3 Then he shouted with a voice that sounded like a growling lion. Thunder roared seven times

- What happen when the angel gave a great shout? [10:3-4]

2. Verse 3Then he shouted with a voice that sounded like a growling lion. Thunder roared seven times. Verse 4 After the thunder stopped, I was about to write what it had said. But a voice from heaven shouted, "Keep it secret! Don't write these things.

- What did the angel tell John to do with the little scroll? Describe the taste of the scroll?

3. Once again the voice from heaven spoke to me. It said, "Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel standing on the sea and the land." Verse 9 When I went over to ask the angel for the little scroll, the angel said, "Take the scroll and eat it! Your stomach will turn sour, but the taste in your mouth will be as sweet as honey." Verse 10 I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. The taste was as sweet as honey, but my stomach turned sour.

4. [FOR JOHN] A. After the thunder stopped, I was about to write what it had said. But a voice from heaven shouted, "Keep it secret! Don't write these things."
