"Ezekiel's Scroll"

by James Jacob Prasch

The Scroll

What does God tell us about this scroll? It appears in many places in Scripture.

Then the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard again speaking with me, and saying, “Go, take the book…

…(i.e., the scroll)…

…which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.” So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, “Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. And they said to me, “You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.” (Rev. 10:8-11).

This scroll will always be sweet in your mouth but bitter in your stomach. We all want to know the truth; we all want to know the future. God will tell us the truth and He will even show us the future through His Word.
