REVELATION
«Chapter 10»

Then I saw ANOTHER MIGHTY ANGEL coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”

Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, “There will be no more delay! But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”

"‘There Will Be No More Delay’"

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

Good Morning Dan, and happy ‘new week’ to all.

God’s foretold events will not be delayed!

Enjoy Fugel’s works!

Thank You Dan-

[Hebrews 11:6]

I'd been unaware of Fugel before now, but he did have a nice touch.

God’s foretold events will not be delayed!

Nailed it, Leon. God does indeed have a timeline, a schedule of events, even though we are not privy to it.

I think Nicholas Roerich is a first for this thread. I have always admired the mysticism and serenity of his landscapes. There is a museum in New York dedicated to his art.

You are probably right, Alba. I'll check your link--thanks.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It turns out that I posted Roerich once previously: #81 here.

[etabeta]

I had forgotten that painting. Good find.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I have another Roerich illustrating Chapter 18.

[etabeta]

Link?

[Hebrews 11:6]

LOL! [blushing] Sorry, Alba, I should have said "I will have..." Ten days from now.

I like NO. 11, to me it’s a good depiction of the Angel as described in the verse. Some of the others are good also.
Looking at these pictures it’s easy to understand how some scholars would think that John saw/was visited by an extraterrestrial alien.

I can wait.....

That is exactly what angels are--extraterrestrial aliens.

Bless you....
