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. |
