Jesus Christ bears the testimony of God's love towards us

From :
The 1560 -1599 A.D.
Geneva Bible New Testament ;

The Revelation
Of Saint John The Apostle
& Evangelist With the Annotations
Of Francis Junius & Chapter 10 :

1 Another Angel
appeareth clothed with a cloud,

2 holding a book open,
3 and crieth out.

8 A voice from heaven
commandeth John to take the book.

10 He eateth it.

1 And (1) I saw
another mighty Angel
come down from heaven, clothed
with a cloud, and the (*) rainbow
upon his head, and his face was as
the () sun, and his (()) feet
as pillars of fire.

(1) Now John passeth
unto the other Prophetical
history, which is of the Church
of God, as I shewed that this book
should be distinguished Revelation 4:1 .

This story reacheth
hence unto Revelation 22:1 .

And this whole Chapter
is but a transition from the
common history of the world
unto that which is particular
of the Church.

There are in this transition
or passage, two preparatives
as it were, unto this Church story
comprised in this whole Chapter.

One is the authority of Christ
revealing his mysteries, and calling
his servants unto Revelation 10:7 .

The other is John,
his calling proper unto
this place, and prepared from
before unto the end of this chapter.

Authority is given
unto this Revelation by these things :

First, by the appearing from heaven
in this habit and countenance, strong,
ready, glorious, surveying all things by
his providence and governing them by
his omnipotence, Revelation 10:1 .

Secondly,
that he brought not by chance,
but out of a book, this open Revelation,
set forth unto the eye, to signify the same
unto the sea and land, as the Lord over
all, Revelation 10:2 .

Thirdly,
that he offered the same not whispering
or muttering in a corner (as false prophets
do) but crying out with a loud voice unto
them which sleep, and with a lionish and
terrible noise roused the secure; the very
thunders themselves giving testimony
thereunto, Revelation 10:3 .

Lastly, for that he confirmed
all by an oath, Revelation 10:5-7 .

(*) Jesus Christ beareth the
testimony of God's love towards us.

() It overcame all darkness
of the Angel of the bottomless pit.

(()) Straight, strong
and pure from all corruptions.

2 And he had in his hand a
(3) little (*) book open, and he
put his right foot upon the sea,
and his left on the earth,

(3) Namely,
a special book
of the affairs of God's Church;
For the book that containeth things
belonging the whole world, is said to
be kept with the Creator, Revelation 5:1,
but the book of the Church, with the
Redeemer; and out of this book is taken
the rest of the history of this Apocalyps.

(*) Meaning the Gospel,
which Antichrist cannot hide,
seeing Christ bringeth it open in his hand.

3 And cried with a (*) loud voice,
as when a lion roareth; and when he
had cried, seven () thunders uttered
their voices.

(*) Which declareth
that in despite of Antichrist,
the Gospel should be preached
through all the world; so that the
enemies shall be astonied.

() The whole graces of God's Spirit
bent themselves against Antichrist.

4 (4) And when the seven thunders
had uttered their voices, I was about
to write; but I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, (*) (a) () Seal up those
things which the seven thunders have
spoken, and write them not.

(4) A godly care is laudable,
but must be joined with knowledge.

Therefore nothing is to be taken in hand,
but by the calling; which must be expected
and waiting for of the godly.

(*) Daniel 12:7 .

(a) Keep them close.

() Believe that which is written;
for there is no need to write more
for the understanding of God's children.

5 And the Angel which I saw
stand upon the sea, and upon the
earth, (b) lifted up his hand to heaven,

(b) This was a gesture used
of one that sweareth, which
men do now a days use.

6 And sware (*) by him
that liveth for evermore, which
created heaven, and the things
that therein are, and the earth,
and the things that therein are,
and the sea, and the things that
therein are, (5) that (c) time
should be no more.

(*) That is, by God with whom
Christ by his divinity is equal.

(5) Neither time itself,
nor the things that are in time;
but that the world to come is
at hand, which is altogether of
eternity, and beyond all times.

(c) There shall
never be any more time.

7 But in the days
of the (6) voice of the
seventh Angel, when he
shall begin to blow the trumpet,
even the (*) mystery of God shall
be finished, as he hath declared to
his servants the Prophets.

(6) See Revelation 11:15;
Revelation 16:17 .

(*) The faithful
shall understand
and see this mystery
of the last judgment, the
damnation of Antichrist and
the infidels, and also the glory
of the just at the resurrection.

8 (7) 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.

(7) The other part of this Chapter,
concerning the particular calling of
John to the receiving of the prophecy
following, which is enjoined him, first
by sign in three verses, then in plain
words in the last verse,
Revelation 10:9-11 .

Unto the setting forth
of the sign belong these things :

That John is taught
from heaven to demand
the book of the Prophecy
in this verse; for these motions
and desires God doeth inspire,
that demanding the book, he is
charged to take it in a figurative
manner, the use whereof also
is expounded in Revelation 10:9 .

(as in Ezekiel 2:9)
whence this similitude
is borrowed; lastly for that
John at the commandment of
Christ took the book, and found
by experience that the same as
proceeding from Christ was most
sweet, but in that it foretelleth the
afflictions of the Church, it was
most bitter unto his spirit.

(*) As John understood
this by revelation, so is the same
revealed to the true preachers to
discover the Pope, and Antichrist.

9 So I went unto the Angel,
and said to 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 as
sweet as honey.

(*) That is, the holy Scriptures;
which declareth that the minister
must receive them at the hand of
God before he can preach them
to others.

() Ezekiel 3:1 .

(()) Which signifieth
that the ministers ought to
receive the word into their
hearts, and to have grave and
deep judgment, and diligently to
study it, and which zeal to utter it.

10 Then I took the little book
out of the Angel's hand, and ate
it up, and it was in my mouth as
(*) sweet as honey; but when I
had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

(*) Signifying
that albeit that the
minister have consolation
by the word of God, yet shall
he have sore, and grievous enemies,
which shall be troublesome unto him.

11 (8) And he said unto me,
Thou must prophesy (*) again
among the people and nations,
and tongues, and to many Kings.

(8) A simple and plain declaration
of the sign before going, witnessing
the divine calling of John, and laying
upon him the necessity thereof.

(*) Not only meaning in his life
time, but that this book after his
death should be as a preaching
unto all nations.
