Revelation 10:2, Revelation 10:9, Revelation 10:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 10:1-7

Here we have an account of another vision the apostle was favoured with, between the sounding of the sixth trumpet and that of the seventh. And we observe, I. The person who was principally concerned in communicating this discovery to John?an angel from heaven, another mighty angel, who is so set forth as would induce one to think it could be no other than our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! 1. He was clothed with a cloud: he veils his glory, which is too great for mortality to behold; and he... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 10:1-4

10:1-4 I saw another angel, a mighty one, coming down out of heaven, clad in a cloud, and with a rainbow on his head. His face was as the sun and his feet were like pillars of fire. He had in his hand a little roll which was opened. He put his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and he cried with a loud voice as a lion roars, and, when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write and I heard a voice from heaven saying:... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 10:2

And he had in his hand a little book open ,.... By which is meant not the Bible, the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament; or the book of the Gospel, the substance of which lies in a little room, and is no other than the preaching of Christ, and him crucified, as God's way of salvation; and which is now more open and manifest, and more clearly made known unto the sons of men, under the Gospel dispensation, than it was before, and especially since the time of the Reformation, to which this... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 10:2

A little book open - Meaning probably some design of God long concealed, but now about to be made manifest. But who knows what it means? His right foot upon the sea, and his left - on the earth - To show that he had the command of each, and that his power was universal, all things being under his feet. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:1-7

The mystery of God—finished! According to some historical interpreters, the close of the ninth chapter sets forth in symbol the inrush of the Turkish power and the downfall of Constantinople. Apparently necessitated by such a view, the angel of the first verse of the tenth chapter is the reality of which the dominant papal power was the mimicry—a messenger of heaven with new light piercing the gloom. His setting one flint on the sea and another on the earth indicates his taking possession... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:1-7

The word of assurance and consolation. The Book of the Revelation is written for the comfort of the Church in presence of her oppressing foes. It is designed to sustain the faithful people in well doing, when the severities of cruel dealing make their lot hard and almost unendurable. Their patience is often severely tried; sometimes it has yielded under heavy pressure. Here is afforded another word of promise which is calculated to sustain the faint of heart. A vision is granted of" a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:2

And he had in his hand a little book open . ἔχων , "having," is read in א , A, B, C, P εἴχεν , "he had," in a few cursives, the Vulgate, Andreas, Arethas, Primasius. The meaning is the same. The word βιβλαρίδιον , "little book," is a diminutive of βιβλίον ( Revelation 5:1 ), which is itself a diminutive of βίβλος . This form of the word is found nowhere else; the corresponding usual form is βιβλιδαρίον . The book is probably little in comparison with that in ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:2

The little book; or, characteristics of revelation. "He had in his hand a little book open." Like as there was an interval between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals, so is there between the sounding of the sixth and seventh trumpets. The record of this latter interval, and of the events which took place in it, stretches through this tenth chapter down to verse 13 of Revelation 11:1-19 . This chapter is occupied with the account of the little book which St. John saw in the hand... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 10:2

And he had in his hand a little book open - This is the first thing that indicated the purpose of his appearing, or that would give any distinct indication of the design of his coming from heaven. The general aspect of the angel, indeed, as represented in the former verse, was that of benignity, and his purpose, as there indicated, was light and peace. But still there was nothing which would denote the particular design for which he came, or which would designate the particular means which he... read more

Revelation 10:1-2. And After my former vision, related in the foregoing part of this prophecy, another scene was opened unto me introductory to a further revelation concerning the state of the church and the world. For I saw another mighty angel Another, different from that mighty angel mentioned Revelation 5:2; yet he was a created angel, for he did not swear by himself; come down from heaven Or divinely commissioned, Revelation 10:6; clothed with a cloud In token of his high... read more
