THE SCROLL Was Sweet and Bitter

Revelation 10:10 (explained) As predicted by the Angel, the scroll was sweet as honey in his mouth but bitter in his stomach. For the believer, it is sweet to read of God's determination to glorify His Son where He was once crucified. It is sweet to read of the triumph of God over Satan and all his hosts. It is sweet to read of the time when the wrongs of earth will all be made right. But there is the bitterness of self-judgment which the prophetic scriptures produce. There is the bitterness of viewing the judgments which must soon fall on apostate Judaism and Christendom. And there is the bitterness of contemplating the eternal doom of all who reject the Savior.
