‏ Revelation of John 10:7-9

10:7 ^a angel blows his trumpet: See 1 Cor 15:51-54 ^b; 1 Thes 4:16 ^c.

• God’s mysterious plan for the world is no surprise; the prophets who served God in the past warned that the day of the Lord would come (see Joel 2:1-3 ^d, 10-11 ^e; Amos 5:18-20 ^f; Zeph 1:14-18 ^g).
Summary for Rev 10:8-10: 10:8-10 ^h As in Ezekiel’s experience, the scroll tasted sweet in the mouth (Ezek 3:1-3 ⁱ; see Jer 15:16 ^j; see also Pss 19:10 ^k; 119:103 ^l). The experiences yet to come for God’s people would be sweet, including the victory of God’s plan and the vindication of his people. John’s sour ... stomach resembles the effects of Ezekiel’s hard message for Israel (Ezek 3:8-9 ^m). The process of bringing God’s plan to fruition involves hardship.
