Chapter 10 (CV)
1 And I perceived another strong messenger descending
out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow on his head, and his face as the sun,
and his feet as pillars of fire,
2 and having in his hand a tiny open scroll. And he
places his right foot on the sea, yet the left on the land.
3 And he cries with a loud voice, even as a lion is
bellowing. And when he cries, the seven thunders speak with their own voices.
4 And when the seven thunders speak, I was about to be
writing. And I hear a voice out of heaven saying, "Seal what things the seven
thunders speak," and "Them you should not be writing."
5 And the messenger whom I perceived standing on the sea
and on the land lifts his right hand to heaven
6 and swears by Him Who is living for the eons of the
eons, Who creates heaven and that which is in it, and the earth and that which is in it,
and the sea and that which is in it, that there will be no longer a time of delay,
7 but in the days of the seventh messenger's voice,
whenever he may be about to be trumpeting, the secret of God is consummated also, as He
evangelizes to His own slaves and the prophets.
8 And the voice which I hear out of heaven speaks again
with me, and is saying, "Go, get the tiny scroll open in the hand of the messenger
standing on the sea and on the land."
9 And I came away to the messenger, saying to him to give
me the tiny scroll. And he is saying to me, "Take it and devour it; and it will be
making your bowels bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."
10 And I got the tiny scroll out of the hand of the
messenger, and devoured it. And in my mouth it was sweet as honey. And when I ate it, my
bowels were made bitter.
11 And they are saying to me, "You must prophesy
again over peoples and nations and languages and many kings." |
Chapter 10 (KJV)
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. |
