Chapter 10
10And—I—saw—another—strong—messenger—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:—
2And—he—had—in—his—hand—a—diminutive—book—open:—and—he—set—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,—seven—thunders—uttered—their—voices.—
4And—when—the—seven—thunders—had—spoken,—I—was—about—to—write:—and—I—heard—a—voice—from—heaven—saying—unto—me,—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—hand—to—heaven,—
6And—swore—by—him—that—lives—forever—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—season—no—longer:—
7But—in—the—days—of—the—voice—of—the—seventh—messenger,—when—he—shall—begin—to—sound,—the—mystery—of—God—should—be—finished,—as—he—has—declared—to—his—servants—the—prophets.—
8And—the—voice—which—I—heard—from—heaven—spake—unto—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,—and—said—unto—him,—Give—me—the—diminutive—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.—
10And—I—took—the—diminutive—book—out—of—the—messenger'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.—
11And—he—said—unto—me,—You—must—prophesy—again—before—many—peoples,—and—nations,—and—tongues,—and—kings.—
