The Little Scroll and the Two Witnesses

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.

Commentary

Revelation 10 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Revelation, as it marks the transition from the sixth to the seventh trumpet. It is a chapter of great significance, as it contains the vision of the mighty angel with the little scroll, which is a symbol of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The chapter begins with a vision of a mighty angel, clothed in a cloud and with a rainbow over his head. He is described as having a face like the sun and feet like pillars of fire. This angel is a symbol of the power and glory of God, and his presence is a reminder of the divine presence in the world. The angel then holds a little scroll in his hand, which is a symbol of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This scroll contains the message of salvation and hope for all who believe in Jesus. The angel then declares that the time has come for the gospel to be proclaimed to all nations. The chapter then ends with a warning to those who reject the gospel. The angel declares that those who reject the gospel will be judged and punished. This is a reminder that God is a just and righteous God, and that those who reject His message will be held accountable for their actions. Revelation 10 is a powerful chapter that serves as a reminder of the power and glory of God, and of the importance of accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a reminder that God is a just and righteous God, and that those who reject His message will be held accountable for their actions.
