Pause for thought
The mighty angel is similar in appearance to the Son of Man 1:13-16. This mighty angel is Gods special messenger to the whole world. The seven thunders are the voice of God, John has been writing all that he has seen and heard. But now he is told not write what God has said but to seal up everything the thunders have uttered. This is very similar to the command given to Daniel 8:26.
Gods mysterious plan fulfilled. When the Angel blows and the seventh trumpet sounds, Gods plan for humanity will be fulfilled, and the end of the age will have arrived 11:15, Ephesians 1:9-10.
Sweet = good news, Bitter = judgement to come. The little book is open in the angels hand, this represents the glorious gospel that is available to all who through faith receive it. But becomes bitter in the stomach of the evangelist ( many evangelists tell of sowing and reaping with tears as well as with great rejoicing) because it promises judgement upon all who reject the gospel message 10:10. See also Ezekiel 3:1.
A verse to remember
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 N.K.J.
