Revelation Pt 25 "The Mighty Angel and the Little Scroll"

Oct 28, 2025    Isaiah Wilson

In this comprehensive verse-by-verse Bible study, we explore Revelation chapter 10, where John encounters a mighty angel descending from heaven with a little scroll. This often-overlooked interlude between the sixth and seventh trumpets contains powerful imagery: an angel standing with authority over sea and land, seven thunders that speak but are sealed, a solemn oath that declares "no more delay," and John's commission to eat a scroll that is sweet as honey in his mouth but bitter in his stomach. We'll unpack the rich Old Testament connections to Ezekiel and Daniel, examine the Greek and Hebrew meanings behind key terms, and discover what the "mystery of God" really means and why this angel swears by the eternal Creator that it will soon be fulfilled.


This teaching speaks directly to believers today who are waiting for God's promises, struggling with unanswered questions, or wondering how to faithfully share God's Word in a resistant culture. Whether you're new to Revelation or have studied it for years, you'll gain fresh insight into God's sovereignty over world events, His perfect timing, the balance between revealed truth and sealed mystery, and the sweet-yet-bitter calling to prophesy to the nations. This study equips you to trust God more deeply, embrace the whole counsel of Scripture, and live with greater urgency as we approach the sounding of the seventh trumpet when God's redemptive plan reaches its appointed climax.
