Rev 10:10 | MHM | STEP | v. 10 : John takes the little book and eats it. At first, it tastes sweet in his mouth, but when he swallows it, it becomes bitter in his stomach (Revelation 10:10 ). This shows that learning about God’s plans can be joyful at first, but when we understand the suffering and judgment involved, it can be painful and sad. This is like what happened to Ezekiel when he ate the scroll (Ezekiel 3:3 ).

‏ Revelation of John 10:10

v. 10: John takes the little book and eats it. At first, it tastes sweet in his mouth, but when he swallows it, it becomes bitter in his stomach (Revelation 10:10 ^a). This shows that learning about God’s plans can be joyful at first, but when we understand the suffering and judgment involved, it can be painful and sad. This is like what happened to Ezekiel when he ate the scroll (Ezekiel 3:3 ^b).
