I like 3 verses tonight, 2,3 & 11...
(Revelation 10: 2, 3 NIV) He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.
After doing a little research Psalm 29: 3-9 gives a good account as to what these verses mean and their significance. One foot in the sea and one foot on land illustrates Christ's sovereign power over all earth. The shout is Christ preparing the flesh/sinner earth for its destruction and His return. the description gives a a bette, more complete r illustration of what is to come...
(Psalm 29:3-9 NIV)
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning. The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord twists the oaks
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
(Revelation 10:11 NIV) Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings."
Is a command to share God's word to all nations without hesitation. Sharing God's word is forever...even as the second coming is upon the world.
Your research makes it make much more sense. I couldn't really get anything out of it just by reading it. I also liked 11. Yet another call to go out and share the gospel.
