John sees another strong angel, carrying an open little book. When seven thunders speak, John is about to write, but a voice keeps him from doing so. The angel swears by the everlasting Father and Creator that there will be no more delay and the seventh TRUMPET will finish God's "mystery." The angel tells John to eat the book. He does, and finds that its taste is sweet as honey but it has a bitter effect on his stomach. He is told that he must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.
