1 I saw another mighty angel coming down out of heaven robed with a cloud, and there was a rainbow on his head; and his countenance was like the sun; and his feet were columns of fire,
2 and he had in his hand a little book open. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left on the earth,
3 and cried with a loud voice as 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 going to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me. "Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not.

7 but that in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall have sounded, as he soon will, the mystery of God shall be completed as he revealed the glad tidings to his servants the prophets.
8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spake to me again and said, "Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."
9 So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me that little book." And he said, "Take it and eat it up; and it will make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it will be sweet as honey:"
10 so I took the little book out of the hand of the angel and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it up my belly was bitter.
11 Then he saith to me, "Thou must prophesy again for many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.
