So<n id="1" /> I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He<n id="2" /> said to me, &#8220;Take the scroll<n id="3" /> and eat it. It<n id="4" /> will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.&#8221;

Then<n id="1" /> another angel came out of the temple, shouting in a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud, &#8220;Use<n id="2" /> your sickle and start to reap,<n id="3" /> because the time to reap has come, since the earth&#8217;s harvest is ripe!&#8221;

Another<n id="1" /> angel, who was in charge of<n id="2" /> the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to the angel<n id="3" /> who had the sharp sickle, &#8220;Use<n id="4" /> your sharp sickle and gather<n id="5" /> the clusters of grapes<n id="6" /> off the vine of the earth,<n id="7" /> because its grapes<n id="8" /> are now ripe.&#8221;<n id="9" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me,<n id="2" /> saying, &#8220;Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!&#8221;
