Folks, here's the deal. See here, Jack, I'm not gonna lie to you, no malarkey! This chapter in Revelation is a doozy, I tell you what. It starts off with a mighty angel, literally with a face like the sun, his feet like pillars of fire! Then he holds a scroll in one hand and a rainbow above his head in the other, like he's a living, breathing statue, C'mon, man!
My father used to say, it's not what you see, it's what you don't see that matters. Well, this angel speaks with a voice like a lion and says the scroll is sweet like honey, but when the seven thunders spoke no one could understand what was said. I'm not joking, folks!
So then John is told not to write what was said, but that there will be no more delay. So basically, it's a cryptic chapter, and unless you have a PhD in Biblical studies, don't expect to understand it. That's the deal, Jack. Or uh, you know, don't expect to understand it if you don't have a PhD. What was that? Not gonna happen, Jack. Excuse me.
