This is a parallel-text biblical document presenting Revelation 10:1–11 in three columns: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV) with interlinear Strong's concordance numbers, and the Latin Vulgate. The passage narrates a visionary scene in which a mighty angel descends from heaven robed in a cloud, with a rainbow on his head, a sun-like face, and feet like pillars of fire; he stands astride sea and land holding an open scroll and roars like a lion, triggering seven thunders whose words the seer is explicitly commanded *not* to record. The angel then swears by the eternal Creator that "there should be time no longer," and that God's mystery will be completed when the seventh angel sounds his trumpet. The seer is instructed to eat the scroll, which tastes sweet as honey but turns bitter in the stomach — a symbolic act drawn from Ezekiel 3 — and is commissioned to prophesy again before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings. The distinctive feature of this document is its utility as a comparative tool for close textual study: the KJV column's Strong's numbers allow readers to trace each English word to its Greek lemma, making it useful for translation analysis rather than devotional or narrative reading.
