Eat the words!
Speak the words!
Hmm … A pattern developing?

Could it be true that we are what we eat? And could it be true spiritually speaking? It seems to make sense biblically that this is something we should seriously consider in our relationship with the words of God. At least three men of God in Scripture either spoke of eating God’s words or were commanded to eat God’s words: Jeremiah, Ezekiel and John. In our text today, John was commanded to eat words of prophecy. Well, of course, he was a prophet! What came out of his mouth was a result of his “eating the little scroll” in obedience to God.

  • (Revelation 10:9–11 ESV) (9) So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” (10) And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. (11) And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”

John ate the words of God, and then he spoke the words of God. Same dynamic for us. We obey God and the words that come out are the words that we have taken in. What is deep inside our lives reveals itself in our words. Same process for the prophet Ezekiel. Eat the words of God and then speak for God.

  • (Ezekiel 3:1 ESV) And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”

The defiant survivors of the first two woes of Revelation 9!

Those who survive the first two woes still refuse to change their minds (repent) concerning the works of their hands. The idea of human works as a means of appeasing God (or more accurately “the gods”) is deeply ingrained and interwoven in the soul of sinful, fallen humanity. It is like a death grip that invariably leads people to create false worship and then to cling to what they have created. This false worship reveals itself itself in thousands of variations, but everyone who worships what they have created walks the same path of death, the way that seems right and natural to a man or woman.

  • (Proverbs 14:12 The Message) There’s a way of life that looks harmless enough; look again—it leads straight to hell.

People will not give up the only thing in which they have hope. And we see here, even in the face of God’s wrath and judgment, they defiantly cling to their direction. Therefore having no hope except what they can manufacture themselves these people are driven to satisfy the deep desires of their mind and soul, only finding solace in deeds of darkness. Driven by false hope they are imprisoned in murders, sorceries (drugs), sexual immorality and theft (taking what belongs to someone else).

What is ultimate reality? Can we have an accurate view of reality if we only take into account the here and now?

Many people, even it seems many professing Christians, are disturbed to hear about the coming doom that Revelation prophecies. Why is that? Why would we want a view of life that does not take into account eternity? Because most people live in a world of pretend.

Ultimate reality is a view of this world and the next from the pages of God’s holy word, the Bible. The wrath of God being poured out as he ends Earth history is not a pleasant picture, but it is accurate and it is necessary for us to live in a way that honors him.

The Bible … believe it or don’t believe it, but each of us will give an account.
