Heaven: The Little Book
Thursday, January 16, 2025 – Day 12
Read Revelation 10
Key Verse
And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
Revelation 10:11 (NKJV)
Key Reflection:
Chapter 10 is a part of the second woe in the end times. Here John is given the instructions to eat the
little book that the mighty angel holds. It is another commission for him to do the will of God. He is to
prophesy the will of God concerning these things. The sweetness of the word is because it is from God,
but the bitterness in his bowels is due to the judgment that must proceed from his mouth. John is not
speaking mere words. He is speaking the mystery of the One who is past, present and future, the
promulgation of judgment on an unjust people who live on a shaky foundation. 18 Let this judgment not
fall on us.
17F
Thought:
At times the word of God is difficult to consume. It tells us about ourselves and points us to the full
council of God. God is Judge and has a right to do with creation what God pleases. Afterall, He is the
Creator. To love God is to accept all of God, even that which we do not understand. Yet, as God instructs
us, we like John must adhere and obey. No matter how biter the task, we must be willing to stand for
God and speak the truth that is God’s word. For it does not matter how it is received because we know
that is shall not return unto Him void (Isaiah 55:11)
Prayer:
Lord, I pray that I will obey you in all things. Grant me the courage to speak your word as I trust in you.
Even when I do not understand what you mean help me to believe what you say. Your word is truth. It is
by your word that I am sanctified. I know that your word is good. I ask this prayer in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
Questions:
1. What word has God spoken to that has been difficult to receive?
2. What word have you spoken to others from God that you found to be challenging?
