(Rev 10:1-6) And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a
rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his
right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea
and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who
created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there
should be time no longer:
(Rev 10:2-7) And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to
write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are
therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be
finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
(Rev 10:2) And he had in his hand a little book
open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and
his left foot on the earth,
NOTES
This book is the same book or scroll in chapter 5. We saw that it was the Title deed to the earth. It had seven seals and when they are all opened and completed, Jesus is on the Throne of David.
Jesus is standing on the sea and on the earth as a claim of ownership.
In the Old testament, the way a
person received land from God was to walk on it.
(Gen 13:17) Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it
unto thee.
(Deu 11:24) Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread
shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the
river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your
coast be.
(Jos 1:3) Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto
you, as I said unto Moses.
(Jos 5:15) And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto
Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place
whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
(Exo 3:5) And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from
off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest
is holy ground.
(Eph 2:2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of
this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
children of disobedience:
(2Co 4:4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(Rev 10:5) And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to
heaven,
(Rev 10:6) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the
earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things
which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
(Col 1:16) For by him were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they
be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
(Joh 1:3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
(Heb 6:13) For when God made promise to Abraham, because he
could swear by no greater, he sware by
himself,
(Rev 10:5) And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon
the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
(Rev 10:6) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who
created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are,
and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should
be time no longer:

Even more people get tied up with this statement, and try to apply that he is referring to the end of time
This statement in context is referring to the time that God has allowed the world to be under the rule of Satan
(Rev 10:6-7) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein
are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the
things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in
the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall
begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he
hath declared to his servants the prophets.
(1Pe 1:8-11) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the
prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied
of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of
time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it
testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should
follow.
(Rev 11:15) And the seventh angel sounded;

shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
(Isa 31:4) For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his
prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the
noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill
thereof.
(Jer 25:30) Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall
roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he
shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout,
as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the
earth.
(Rev 10:3) And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and

(Psa 29:1-9) Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is
upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaketh
the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like
a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. The voice of the LORD divideth the
flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the
wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and
discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

(Rev 10:8-11) And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and
said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which
standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said
unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy
mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up;
and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was
bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and
nations, and tongues, and kings.

the last:

belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples,
and nations, and tongues, and kings.
