Revelation Chapter 10
IN THIS LESSON
“Eat my shorts,” a famous line by Bart Simpsons was always a mystery to me. John the Seer hears something like that in this passage: “Eat the scroll,” says the angel standing on the shore one foot on the sea and the other on the land. Who is this angel? Why eat the scroll? Why does it taste sweet as honey in the mouth yet bitter in the stomach?
