Revelation 10

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:

I witnessed a powerful angel descend from the heavens, shrouded in a cloud. A radiant rainbow crowned his head, his face shone like the sun, and his feet blazed like fiery pillars.

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,

With a small open book in his hand, he confidently placed his right foot on the vast sea and his left foot on the solid ground.

And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

He shouted with the strength of a roaring lion. As his cry echoed, seven thunders responded with their powerful voices.

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.

As the seven thunders spoke, I prepared to record their words. But then, a heavenly voice commanded me, "Keep the secrets of the seven thunders to yourself, do not write them down."

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

I saw the angel, standing both on the sea and the earth, raise his hand towards the sky.

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:

With utmost reverence, he swore an oath by the eternal Creator of all - the heavens, the earth, and the sea, and everything within them - declaring that there would be no more delay.

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.

When the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, God's secret plan will be completed, just as He promised His prophets.

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.

The heavenly voice I heard spoke to me once more, saying, "Go, take the small, open book from the angel standing on both the sea and the earth."

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.

I approached the angel, pleading, "Hand me the small book." He responded, "Take it, consume it. It will upset your stomach, yet taste as sweet as honey on your tongue."

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.

I gently took the tiny book from the angel's hand and consumed it. It tasted as sweet as honey on my tongue, but once swallowed, it left a bitter aftertaste in my stomach.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

He told me, "You need to share the prophecy once more, reaching out to countless people, diverse cultures, languages, and rulers."
