Expositor's Bible Commentary - Revelation 10:1-11

CHAPTER VII.FIRST CONSOLATORY VISION.Revelation 10:1-11.AT the point now reached by us the regular progress of the Trumpet judgments is interrupted, in precisely the same manner as between the sixth and seventh Seals, by two consolatory visions. The first is contained in Rev. 10, the second in Revelation 11:1-13. At Revelation 11:14 the series of the Trumpets is resumed, reaching from that point to the end of the chapter. "And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Revelation 10:1-11

CHAPTER 10 Revelation 10:1-11 . The proclamation of the mighty angel is the first recorded event in this parenthesis. Who is this angel? It is Christ Himself. We saw our Lord in angel’s form before the opening of the seventh seal and then He appeared in priestly dignity. Here before the sounding of the seventh trumpet He appears again in the same form, but He is called a mighty angel and we behold Him in royal dignity. The cloud, the rainbow, the face like the sun, His right foot upon the sea,... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 10:1-11

A Long Interval Before the Seventh Trumpet We find a long interval between the sixth and seventh trumpets, continuing from Revelation 10:1 to Revelation 11:14. There is no doubt as to the identity of the mighty angel who comes down from heaven (v. 1), for His face is as the sun. It is Him in whom the glory of God is revealed, the Lord Jesus, yet clothed with a cloud, indicating some obscurity: God's glory is present, but in measure veiled. The rainbow is the promise of the light of God yet to... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 10:1-11

THE SEVEN TRUMPETS We have here another illustration of the law of recurrence, for in these chapters we are going over the ground of the last, though certain features are being added which were not then revealed. In other words, it is still the Tribulation Period. INTRODUCTION (Revelation 8:2-5 ) In the previous lesson the Introduction included the vision of “The Throne, the Lamb and the Book,” while here it is the revelation of the angel and the incense. There is no satisfactory... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Revelation 10:8-11

(8) 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. (9) 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. (10) And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Revelation 10:9-10

Take the book, and devour it. See Ezechiel ii. and iii. It was sweet in my mouth; I was delighted to read and hear the victories and glory of God's faithful servants; but it became bitter in my belly, when I considered the judgments of God upon so many sinners, who by their own wilful blindness were lost for eternity. (Witham) --- This mysterious book, presented to St. John precisely between the sound of the sixth and seventh trumpet, or rather between the irruption announced at the sound of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 10:8-11

8-11 Most men feel pleasure in looking into future events, and all good men like to receive a word from God. But when this book of prophecy was thoroughly digested by the apostle, the contents would be bitter; there were things so awful and terrible, such grievous persecutions of the people of God, such desolations in the earth, that the foresight and foreknowledge of them would be painful to his mind. Let us seek to be taught by Christ, and to obey his orders; daily meditating on his word,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 10:1-99

Revelation 10 THE RECORD OF the things that come to pass, under the sixth trumpet and second woe, does not come to an end with Revelation 9.0 . We have to read on to Rev_11:14 before we get the words, “the second woe is past.” After the opening of the sixth seal and an account of the immediate results, we had the angelic action, recorded in Revelation 7.0 and the early verses of Revelation 8.0 , as a kind of appendix to it. Now, after the sounding of the sixth trumpet, angelic action is... read more

John swallows the little book: v. 8. 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. v. 9. 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. v. 10.

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Revelation 10:1-11

SPECIAL DOCTRINO-ETHICAL AND HOMILETICAL NOTES (ADDENDUM)Section EighthVeiled Heaven-Picture of the Seven Thunders. (Revelation 10:1-11.)General.—Here the mystery of prophecy is raised to a higher power within the mysterious Apocalypse itself. A contrast even is presented consisting in the fact that the Seven Thunders are to be specially sealed (Revelation 10:4), whilst the Revelation in general is not to be sealed (Revelation 22:10). We have already endeavored to explain the motive of this... read more
