F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 10:1-11

the Angel with the Little Book Revelation 10:1-11 If one of God’s angels is so strong and glorious, what must the Lord of angels be! From the splendor of His retinue, we may estimate the wealth of the Prince. How exactly does this description of the little book suit the word of the Cross, that is, the message of the gospel! Things are spoken to the saints, which, as Paul says, no tongue can utter. They are sealed to the unbelieving but opened to the children of God. Notice that magnificent... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 10:1-11

Still under the period of the sixth trumpet, an interlude follows, chronicling events preparing for the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet. An angel comes to make a most important announcement, namely, that there shall be no more delay, that at the sounding of the seventh trumpet by the seventh angel the mystery of God will be finished. The seer was now commanded to take the book and to eat it. This figure of eating the book is familiar, and suggests the feeding of the soul on the Word... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 10:1-11

The Two Witnesses Revelation 10:1-11 and Revelation 11:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction to the study of the eleventh chapter of Revelation we wish to say a word about the tenth chapter. 1. The mighty angel which came down from Heaven. The angel described in Revelation 10:1 came down with a cloud, a rainbow was round about his head; his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. The angel had in his hand a little book that was open. His right foot was set upon the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 10:8-11

‘And the voice which I heard from Heaven, I heard again speaking to me and saying, “Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth”. And I went to the angel telling him that he should give me the small scroll, and he says to me’ “Take it, and eat it up. And it will make your stomach bitter but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey”. And I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand, and ate it up, and it was in my mouth sweet as honey, and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 10:1-11

Revelation 10:1-1 Kings : . The Vision of the Strong Angel and the Little Book. Revelation 10:1 . The strong angel.— We have no means of identifying this angel. To suppose that he represents Christ is contrary to all analogy and precedent.— coming down out of heaven: the scene of the previous visions is laid in heaven, whither the seer had been transported. Here he seems to be standing upon the earth and watching the descent of the angel. Revelation 10:2 . a little book: the Gr. word is an... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 10:9

Take it, and eat it up: thus Ezekiel was bidden to eat the roll; and it was in his mouth as sweet as honey, Ezekiel 2:8; Ezekiel 3:3. The eating of a book signifies the due reading of it, digesting it, and meditating upon the matters in it. And it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey; it should be sweet in his month, as it was the revelation of the mind and will of God, (which is sweet to all pious souls; see Jeremiah 15:16), but in his belly it should be... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 10:1-11

THE OPEN BOOKCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES“AND yet, notwithstanding all these calamities—last appeals from the Divine holiness to the conscience of man—men do not come to themselves. They continue to live in their idolatrous and corrupt practices. The seventh trumpet is preceded by an episode which has specially in view the destiny of Israel in the crisis which is coming on. In order clearly to indicate that we are here dealing with a scene by itself, and, as it were, isolated in the midst of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 10:1-11

We have been going through the trumpet judgments; the catastrophes that they have brought upon the earth. Now, for a moment we leave the trumpet judgments after the sounding of the sixth, and before we read of the events at the sounding of the seventh, John gives us now a little insight into a yet future event, and that is the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth to claim that which He purchased.Jesus paid the price of redemption. He redeemed the world so that it would be God's once again. It... read more
