Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 10:8-11

Here we have, I. A strict charge given to the apostle, which was, 1. That he should go and take the little book out of the hands of that mighty angel mentioned before. This charge was given, not by the angel himself who stood upon the earth, but by the same voice from heaven that in the Rev. 10:4 had lain an injunction upon him not to write what he had discerned by the seven thunders. 2. To eat the book; this part of the charge was given by the angel himself, hinting to the apostle that before... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 10:8-11

10:8-11 And I heard the voice which I had heard from heaven speaking again to me and saying: "Go, take the little roll which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land." And I went away to the angel and asked him to give me the little roll. He said to me: "Take it and eat it. It will be bitter to your stomach but it will be as sweet as honey to your mouth." And I took the little roll from the hand of the angel and ate it; and it was as sweet as honey to my... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 10:9

And I went to the angel ,.... According to the order given him; he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision; and, indeed, whither should any go knowledge but to him who has the words of eternal life, and is the great prophet of the church? and to whom should John go to qualify him for prophesying, but to him, who, as man and Mediator, had this revelation of future things given him? Revelation 1:1 ; and said unto him, give me the little book ; he did not take it without his leave, but... read more

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

And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up ,.... As he was bid to do: and it was in my mouth sweet as honey ; so is the Gospel in the mouth of a faithful minister of it, who has a spiritual knowledge, and a savoury experience of it; and so it is in the mouth of an understanding hearer, who finds it, and eats it, to the joy and rejoicing of his heart; and so this little book of prophecy being looked into, read, and considered by John, the first taste and knowledge... read more

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

It was in my mouth sweet as honey - There was in it some pleasing, some unpleasing, intelligence. I read of the consolations and protection of the true worshippers of God, and did rejoice; I read of the persecutions of the Church, and was distressed. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:8-11

The little book and its mission. In one of the most interesting chapters in Mr. Elliott's 'Horae Apocalypticae,' the correspondence between this vision of "the little book open" and the bringing forth of the open Bible at the time of the Reformation is indicated at considerable length. According, however, to the plan of exposition which alone seems to us to accord with the aim of the Apocalypse, the production of an open Bible at the Reformation was but one illustration at a particular... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:8-11

The little book; or, the sweetness and bitterness of the prophetic office. The consolation of an assured end having been given, the holy seer, and in him the Church in all ages, becomes prepared to receive tidings that shall prove "bitter" and painful. The final victory is assured. The word is "sweet as honey" in the mouth of him who receives it, which reception is represented by the figure of "eating the little book." It is sweet, for it is impossible to be an agent of God for any work... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:8-11

God's Word. "And the voice which I heard from heaven," etc. The "little book," or roll, here might be fairly taken to illustrate God's redemptive truth, or the gospel. The following thoughts are suggested. I. THIS GOSPEL IS BROUGHT TO MAN FROM HEAVEN . "The voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go, and take the little book." Redemptive truth is a special revelation to man sent by God from heaven, Men could never have reached the redemptive... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 10:9

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book; and I went away to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. Alford understands that the seer goes from his position in heaven to the angel on earth. But he is probably, in his vision, already on the earth (see on Revelation 10:1 ). And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; he saith. This part of the vision is founded on Eze 2:9-3:3. The act is no doubt intended to convey the idea that the seer is to... read more
