Revelation 10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.

2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,

3 and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; when he called out, the seven thunders sounded.

4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down."

5 And the angel whom I saw standing on sea and land lifted up his right hand to heaven

6 and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there should be no more delay,

7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God, as he announced to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled.

8 Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, "Go, take the scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take it and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth."

10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it; it was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

11 And I was told, "You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings."

Ex 13:21-22 (God marked by the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire)

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night;

22 the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.

Ps 29 (The voice of the Lord thunders upon upon the waters)

1 Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name; worship the LORD in holy array.

3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, upon many waters.

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful, the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire.

8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness, the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the LORD makes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forests bare; and in his temple all cry, ‘Glory!’

10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king for ever.

11 May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace!

Dan 8:23-26, esp. v. 26 (Daniel is ordered to seal up the vision which is for the future)

23 And at the latter end of their rule, when the transgressors have reached their full measure, a king of bold countenance, one who understands riddles, shall arise.

24 His power shall be great, and he shall cause fearful destruction, and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people of the saints.

25 By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall magnify himself. Without warning he shall destroy many; and he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes; but, by no human hand, he shall be broken.

26 The vision of the evenings and the mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it pertains to many days hence.’

Dan 12, esp. v. 4 and 7 (Seal up the words while the witness raises his hands to swear an oath)

1 ‘At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.’

5 Then I Daniel looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream.

6 And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, ‘How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?’

7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time; and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished.

8 I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, ‘O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?’

9 He said, ‘Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.

11 And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 But go your way till the end; and you shall rest, and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.’

Col 1:24-29 (The mystery which has been hidden is made manifest to the saints)

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

25 of which I became a minister according to the divine office which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made manifest to his saints.

27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

28 Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man mature in Christ.

29 For this I toil, striving with all the energy which he mightily inspires within me.

Eph 1:7-10 (Christ has made known the mystery of his will as a plan for the fullness of time)

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

8 which he lavished upon us.

9 For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ

10 as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Ez 2:9—3:9 (Ezekiel eats a scroll of mourning, sweet to taste, then is sent to preach)

9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and, lo, a written scroll was in it;

10 and he spread it before me; and it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

Ezekiel 3:1 And he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat what is offered to you; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.’

2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.

3 And he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.’ Then I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.

4 And he said to me, ‘Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.

5 For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and a hard language, but to the house of Israel --

6 not to many peoples of foreign speech and a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you.

7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they are not willing to listen to me; because all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stubborn heart.

8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.

9 Like adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead; fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.’

Ps 119:103-104 (The words of the Lord are sweeter than honey)

103 How sweet are thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

Mt 10:5-7 (Jesus sends the disciples to preach to Israel)

5 These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans,

6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7 And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

Mt 28:18-20 (Jesus commissions the apostles to preach to the nations)

18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
