The Mighty Angel and the Small Scroll
1Then I saw another mighty angel10:1 Rv 5:2; 18:21 coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow10:1 Rv 4:3 over his head.10:1 Or a halo on his head His face was like the sun, his legs10:1 Or feet were like pillars of fire,10:1 Rv 3:12
2and he held a little scroll opened in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea, his left on the land,
3and he called out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders raised their voices.
5Then the angel that I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.
8Then the voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take and eat it; it will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”10:9 Ps 119:103; Jr 15:16; Ezk 2:8–3:3
