The messenger and the small scroll

Rev 10:1–11

10:1 The messenger and the small scroll

10Then in the vision I saw another powerful messenger coming down from heaven wrapped in a cloud and with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun and his feet were like pillars of fire, 2and he was holding a small opened scroll. He set his right foot down on the ocean and his left foot down on the land 3and shouted in a loud voice like a lion roaring, and when he shouted, the seven thunders spoke out in their own voices. 4When the seven thunders spoke, I was going to write down what they said but I heard a voice from heaven that said, “Keep what the seven thunders have said secret, and don’t write it down.”

5Then the messenger that I’d seen straddling the ocean and the land raised his right hand[ref] 6and made an oath by the one living through all the ages and who created heaven and everything in it and the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it, saying, “There won’t be any more delay, 7but at the time when the seventh messenger will speak and blow his trumpet, then the hidden purposes of God will come to be, just like he told his slaves the prophets long ago.”

8Then the one whom I had heard speak from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go and get the open scroll from the hand of the messenger who is straddling the ocean and the land.”[ref] 9So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll, and he answered, “Take it and eat it. At first it’ll taste sweet like honey, but afterwards it’ll be uncomfortable in your stomach.” 10So I took that little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it tasted sweet like honey, but my stomach hurt afterwards 11and they told me, “You have to speak out God’s message about many nations and people groups and language groups and kings.”

8Yes, go,” answered Far’oh’s daughter, and the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9“Take this baby,” said the princess, “and breastfeed him for me, and I’ll pay you for doing it.” So the woman took the baby and looked after him. 10When the boy had grown enough, she brought him back to Far’oh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him ‘Mosheh[fn] (which means ‘pulled out’) because she said that she’d plucked him out of the river.[ref]

2:10 Mosheh escapes to Midiyan

11Later on when Mosheh was fully grown, he went out to visit the Hebrews and saw their forced labour, and he saw an Egyptian man beating a Hebrew man—one of his own people.[ref] 12Mosheh looked around to check that no one was watching, then he hit the Egyptian, killing him, then he hid his body in the sand. 13The next day, he went out again and wow, two Hebrew men were fighting each other, and he said to the man in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”

14“Who made you the ruler and judge over us?” the man replied. “Are you planning to kill me like you killed that Egyptian?” Then Mosheh was afraid because he realised that what he’d done had probably become widely known. 15Indeed, when Far’oh heard about it, he ordered Mosheh to be killed. So Mosheh had to flee from the king and he took off east to live in Midian and he stayed near the well.[ref]

16The priest there in Midian had seven daughters, and they would come to the well to draw water out and fill up the troughs there so their father’s sheep and goats could drink. 17Now some male shepherds came along and started to shoo their flock away, but Mosheh got involved and helped them so that their animals could drink. 18When they got home to their father Reuel, he asked, “How come you got home so early today?”

19“There was an Egyptian man,” they answered, “who stood up for us against those other shepherds. And he even drew water for us and gave our flock water to drink.”

20“Where is he now?” he asked them. “What’s this—you mean you all just left him there? Go and get him so we can give him a meal.”

21Later it turned out that Mosheh was prepared to live with the man, and in due course he gave his daughter Zipporah to Mosheh in marriage. 22When she gave birth to a son, he named him ‘Gershom’ (which means ‘foreigner’) because he said, “I’ve become a foreigner living in a foreign land.”

23Eventually Egypt’s king died, but the Israelis groaned from the slavery they were still under and they cried out, and their cry for freedom from slavery went up to God. 24He heard their groaning and remembered his agreement with Abraham, with Yitshak, and with Yacob,[ref] 25and he looked down on the Israelis and he was concerned about them.

3:0 God calls Mosheh from a burning bush

3One time Mosheh (Moses) was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Yetro (or Jethro, the priest at Midian), and he led the flock beyond the wilderness and came to a hill. (This was later known as the mountain of God at Horev). 2While he was there. Yahweh’s messenger appeared to him in a flame coming from the middle of a bush, and as Mosheh looked, to his surprise he saw that the bush was burning in the fire yet not actually being burnt up.[ref] 3“I’ve got to go and see this amazing sight,” Mosheh said to himself. “How come the bush isn’t burning up?”


2:10 More familiar to most English readers as ‘Moses’ from the Greek ‘Μωσῆς’ (Mōsaʸs) but Greek doesn’t have an ‘h’ or a ‘sh’ so by going through Greek we ended up with something quite different from his real name. However, English does have those sounds and letters, so there’s no reason why we can’t get this name correct.
