The Mighty Angel with the Little Book

10 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. ^(A)And a rainbow was on ^(B)his head, his face was like the sun, and ^(C)his feet like pillars of fire.

² Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, ^(A)“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

^15 (A)His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and ^(B)His voice as the sound of many waters; ^16 (C)He had in His right hand seven stars, ^(D)out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, ^(E)and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

² and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

¹³ And I looked, ^(A)and I heard an ^[a]angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, ^(B)“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

^3 [a]And He who sat there was ^(A)like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; ^(B)and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.

^28 (A)Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. ^(B)This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

Ezekiel Sent to Rebellious Israel

So when I saw it, ^(C)I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

¹⁴ Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel ^(A)came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, ^(B)“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come ^[a]for You to reap, for the harvest ^(C)of the earth is ripe.”

⁵ The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land ^(A)raised up his ^[a]hand to heaven ⁶ and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, ^(B)who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, ^(C)that there should be delay no longer,
