16-The Little Scroll (Revelation 10:1-11)

Why does God allow evil to go unpunished? Why does He allow human suffering and death? Why doesn’t God intervene in human affairs? When will God break is silence and punish the wicked?  

Interestingly, many use the delayed justice of God and His patience as an excuse to refuse the gospel of Jesus Christ. But when they read Revelation, which is God's final corrective to evil in the world, they recoil in horror at the finality of His judgment. We're a very contrary people! 

Chapter 10 is an intermission – a parenthetical interlude -- in the divine judgment of God. Chapter 10 centers on an open scroll which John is commanded to eat resulting in prophecy “about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”
