Carries several symbolic meanings and benefits for believers:

Divine Judgment and Sovereignty: The angel’s appearance, described with a rainbow over his head and feet like pillars of fire, symbolizes God’s judgment and covenant promises. This reassures believers of God’s control over earthly events and His, ultimate victory.
Encouragement and Comfort: The interlude in Revelation 10 provides comfort to believers by showing that despite the coming judgments, God remains sovereign and His redemptive plan will prevail.
Bittersweet Experience: When John eats the little scroll, it tastes sweet in his mouth but turns bitter in his stomach. This symbolizes the mixed experiences of receiving God’s word, joy in understanding His promises and sorrow in the realization of impending judgments.
Prophetic Mission: The act of eating the scroll signifies internalizing God’s message and being prepared to prophesy. It emphasizes the importance of spreading God’s word, even when the message is difficult.
These elements highlight the balance of God’s justice and mercy, offering both a warning and a promise to believers.The angel instructs John to eat the scroll to symbolize the internalization of God’s message. The act of eating the scroll signifies that John must fully absorb and understand the message before he can convey it to others. This imagery is also seen in the Book of Ezekiel, where the prophet Ezekiel is similarly commanded to eat a scroll to receive and deliver God’s message.

It reads in Revelation 10:1-11 Easy: Then I saw another powerful angel. He was coming down from heaven. He had a cloud all round him, like his clothes. There was a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun and his legs shone like fire. He had a little book in his hand and it was open. He put his right foot on the sea and he put his left foot on the land. Then he shouted with a loud voice, like a lion that roars. When he shouted, seven loud voices answered him. They were like the noise of thunder. When the seven voices of thunder spoke, I was ready to write. But I heard a voice that came from heaven. The voice said to me, ‘Keep secret what the seven voices of thunder have said. Do not write it down.’ Then I looked again at the angel who stood with one foot on the sea and his other foot on the land. He raised his right hand towards heaven. He made a strong promise by the name of God, who lives for ever. He created heaven, the earth and the sea, as well as everything that is in them. The angel said, ‘There is no more time to wait! Now is the time when the seventh angel will make a sound with his trumpet. Then God will quickly finish what he wants to do. This has been a secret, but he told it long ago to the prophets who were his servants.’ Then I heard again the voice that spoke to me from heaven. He said, ‘Go to the angel who is standing with one foot on the sea and his other foot on the land. Go and take the book that is open in his hand.’ So I went to the angel. I asked him to give me the little book. He said to me, ‘Take the book and then eat it. It will be very sweet like honey in your mouth. But it will hurt your stomach like bad food.’ So I took the little book from the angel’s hand and I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten the book, it hurt my stomach. Then the voice said to me, ‘You must continue to tell God’s message to people. You must say what will happen to people from everywhere in the world. They are the people of many nations, and people who speak many languages, and also their kings.’
