79Again the voice from heaven spoke to me [John] and said: "Take the open scroll from the angel that is standing on the sea and on the land" and so I went and asked for the small scroll.

    The angel said: "Take it and eat it. It will be sweet like honey in your mouth, but turn sour in your stomach."

         And so I ate the scroll and it was sweet in my mouth but then turned sour in my stomach.

              Then I was instructed to warn all the people and prophecy again over the many nations, languages and leaders, about the things that will soon happen.
