Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down

Revelation 10:1-11

And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”

But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

There is a break between the sixth and seventh trumpets, as there was between the sixth and seventh seals. God delays his final judgment, but not forever. Another mighty angel, radiant and glorious, brings John an open scroll. It contains a message for the world - the angel stands on land and sea. God's word is bitter-sweet. The believer tastes its sweetness, but John's stomach churns at the bitter message he must make known to those who refuse God.

Why?

Some message sealed up for it is not good to the human being, or this is important to the future.

The judgment is delayed for God's people may repent from sine.

God's word is sweet in our mouth, but a little bitter in the stomach, for to obey the word of the Lord is bitter, it is against human's favorite.

小書卷關係未來全世界的預言。這個天使來宣告審判的信息。天使的權柄遍及海與地，即全起。七雷說話，領受神的話語就是要傳講，但是這裏不要約翰寫下來。神不是耽延，而是寬容，我們不可能以為神永遠會寬容，延遲。第七號吹響時就沒有機會悔改了！神特別差遣天使來宣告。不希望人沈淪，希望萬人得救。啟示錄讓我們更盼望那天上更美的家鄉。

以西結書也吃書卷，在口中極甜蜜腹中卻是苦的，神的話甜美，苦的是苦神所苦，人們無動於衷。真實經歷神的話語，感受神的感覺。
