Revelation 10

7 as He hath declared. Rather, “as He gave glad tidings” (εὐηγγέλισεν); referring to the blessed consummation, which had been foretold by prophets both in the Old Testament and the New, and is announced as being accomplished, in xi. 15.

9. It shall make thy belly bitter, etc. Cp. note on Ezek. iii. 3. This may mean that it is sweet to hear of the future deliverance and glory of the Church; bitter, to learn the painful path by which this happiness is to be reached.

11 before. Rather, “upon”; i.e., “concerning.”
