I saw another
astrong
angel
bcoming
down
out of heaven
, clothed
with a cloud
; and the crainbow
was upon his head
, and dhis face
was like
the sun
, and his efeet
like
pillars
of fire
;
and he had in his hand
a alittle
book
which was open
. He placed
bhis right
foot
on the sea
and his left
on the land
;
and he cried out with a loud
voice
, aas when a lion
roars
; and when
he had cried
out, the bseven
peals
of thunder
1uttered
their voices
.
When the seven
peals
of thunder
had spoken
, aI was about
to write
; and I bheard
a voice
from heaven
saying
, " cSeal
up the things which
the seven
peals
of thunder
have spoken
and do not write
them."
Then the angel
whom
I saw
standing
on the sea
and on the land
alifted
up his right
hand
to heaven
,
aand swore by bHim who lives
forever
and ever
, cWHO
CREATED
HEAVEN
AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE EARTH
AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE SEA
AND THE THINGS IN IT, that dthere will be delay
no
longer
,
but in the days of the voice
of the aseventh
angel
, when
he is about
to sound
, then
bthe mystery
of God
is finished
, as He 1preached
to His servants
the prophets
.
Then athe voice
which
I heard
from heaven
, I heard again
speaking
with me, and saying
, "Go
, take
bthe 1book
which is open
in the hand
of the angel
who bstands
on the sea
and on the land
."
So I went
to the angel
, telling
him to give
me the little
book
. And he *said
to me, " aTake
it and eat
it; it will make
your stomach
bitter
, but in your mouth
it will be sweet
as honey
."
I took the little
book
out of the angel's
hand
and ate
it, and in my mouth
it was sweet
as honey
; and when
I had eaten
it, my stomach
was made
bitter
.
And athey *said to me, "You must
bprophesy
again
concerning
cmany
peoples
and nations
and tongues
and dkings
."
