* Then I saw another strong angel coming down from Heaven . He was robed in a cloud , and over his head was the rainbow . His face was like the sun , and his feet resembled pillars of fire . * In his hand he held a small scroll unrolled ; and , planting his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land , * he cried out in a loud voice which resembled the roar of a lion . And when he had cried out , each of the seven peals of thunder uttered its own message . * And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken , I was about to write down what they had said ; but I heard a voice from Heaven which told me to keep secret all that the seven peals of thunder had said , and not write it down . * Then the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the land , lifted his right hand toward Heaven . * And in the name of Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages , the Creator of Heaven and all that is in it , of the earth and all that is in it , and of the sea and all that is in it , he solemnly declared , * »There shall be no further delay ; but in the days when the seventh angel blows his trumpet –when he begins to do so – then the secret purposes of God are realized , in accordance with the good news which He gave to His servants the Prophets .« * Then the voice which I had heard speaking from Heaven once more addressed me . It said , »Go and take the little book which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land .« * So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book . »Take it ,« he said , »and eat the whole of it . You will find it bitter when you have eaten it , although in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey .« * So I took the roll out of the angel 's hand and ate the whole of it ; and in my mouth it was as sweet as honey , but when I had eaten it I found it very bitter . * And a voice said to me , »You must prophesy yet further concerning peoples , nations , languages , and many kings .«
