Chapter 10
Fourth Section of the Seventh Seal
"The Great Day of Ail-Shaddai"
Translation
Apoc. 10
1. And I saw another powerful angel descending out of the heaven, having been clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.
2. And he had in his hand a little scroll which had been opened, and he placed his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the earth, and he cried with a loud voice like as a lion roars: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 4. And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice out of the heaven, saying, to me, Seal, the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5. And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to the heaven, and sware by him who lives for the aions of the aions, who created the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, That the time shall not be longer: but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall sound, the mystery of the Deity shall also be finished, as he hath announced the glad tidings to his servants the prophets.
8. And the voice which I heard out of the heaven was again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little scroll which has been opened in the hand of the angel who stands upon the sea, and upon the earth. 9. And I went to the angel, saying to him, Give to me the little scroll. And he saith to me, take and eat it up; and it shall imbitter thy belly, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.
10. And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the angel, and I ate it up; and it was in my mouth as honey, sweet: and when I had eaten it, my belly was imbittered.
11. And he saith to me, Thou must again prophesy against many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
