TOPIC: HE WILL NOT DELAY ANY LONGER

TEXT: Revelation 10(KJV)
10:1. And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
10:2. And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
10:3. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
10:4. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
10:5. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

10:6. And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
10:7. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
10:8. And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
10:9. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10:10. And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
10:11. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Anglican Daily Fountain 26th November 2023 STUDY:

God is not one who says a thing and will not bring it to pass. In our text today, John saw an angel coming down out of heaven with a small open scroll in his hands. The angel, like a roaring lion, gave a shout, and it thundered many times. John wanted to but was not allowed to write down what was thundered. Then the angel declared that God, the Creator of the universe who lives eternally, would no longer delay in bringing to pass all that He has planned for the universe. Everything that God has said through the prophets shall soon be accomplished.

He determines the end from the beginning. Any Christian who is a keen observer of the events around the world, will attest to the fact that God is bringing to pass all that He has spoken by the prophets. He is doing this without delay, and yet at His own pace. He is hastening the coming of our Lord Jesus to take over the Kingdoms of this world, to reward the saints and to punish sinners.

Dear reader, if we know that the Lord will not delay in fulfilling that which has been written, let us not sleep like the children of the night, but as sons of light. Let us walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. Moreover, as God is bent on bringing to pass His mystery concerning the whole universe, surely He will not delay in his promises to those who love and fear Him. Have you any promises from Him? Let your faith stand firm! His track record has proved him faithful; He will at His pace fulfil His plans for your life without delay.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I know you never fail. Help me to hold unto you without doubt, Amen.
