Who is being asked to prophesy? What message is to be prophesied? When is this message to be given?
Revelation 10:11… And they say to me: “You must prophesy again with regard to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.”
Before we go any further, please open up your Bible and read from the book of Revelation 10:1-11. When you are done let us focus here on what I thought were the main points.
Revelation 10:1-7… And I saw another strong angel descending from heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet were as fiery pillars, 2 and he had in his hand a little scroll opened. And he set his right foot upon the sea, but his left one upon the earth 3 and he cried out with a loud voice just as when a lion roars. And when he cried out, the seven thunders uttered their own voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders spoke, I was at the point of writing; but I heard a voice out of heaven say: “Seal up the things the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them down.” 5 And the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the earth raised his right hand to heaven, 6 and by the One who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things in it and the earth and the things in it and the sea and the things in it, he swore: “There will be no delay any longer; 7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to blow his trumpet, the sacred secret of God according to the good news which he declared to his own slaves the prophets is indeed brought to a finish.
Did you notice that the message to be proclaimed is found in the little scroll? That seems to me to be a reference to Gods word and more specifically the scroll called “the book of the prophets”.
Also did you notice that this angel’s voice roars forth with that of a lion? This too is an important clue for us.
Next, we have another clue with respects to timing. We have the good news about the sacred secret that God has given to the prophets that will end. Not only is this important as respects to timing but the message is also important to understand. What is this good news referred to as the sacred secret?
Hyperlink to the: The Sacred Secret Revealed
So, we see that the apostle John has been told that the one message, being that of this good news has ended and now a new message will now need to be given. So, who will be giving this message?
Well, if we keep reading into chapter 11 of Revelation, we can see that there are two witnesses or martyrs that will need to prophesy for 42 months till they are killed. Did you happen to notice that these two witnesses are dressed in sackcloth? Why are they dressed in this way; and what does this mean?
Wearing sackcloth would be a sign of grief as if they were in mourning. And remember the apostle John’s belly was also made bitter, because the words that he was made to eat from that of the little scroll.

Now with all these clues let us go find the message that they will prophesy. First, we will need to go look in the book of the prophets. Next, we need be looking for a message that might upset our stomach. A message that might be mournful for someone to give. Lastly remember the clue we found about the roaring voice of a lion at Revelation 10:3?
Jeremiah 25:30-32… And as for you, YOU will prophesy to them all these words, and You must say to them, from on high The LORD himself will roar, and from his holy dwelling he will give forth his voice. Without fail he will roar upon his abiding place / his fold and his pasture. A shout like that of those treading [the winepress] he will sing out against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 A noise will certainly come clear to the farthest part of the earth, for there is a controversy that The LORD has with the nations and an indictment. (H8199 Judge) He must personally put himself in judgment with all flesh. As regards the wicked ones, he must give them to the sword says: The LORD. 32 of armies Look! An Evil Calamity (H7451 Adversity) is going forth from nation to nation, and a great whirling tempest (H5591 Storm) itself will be roused up from the remotest parts of the earth.
This message may surprise anyone who thinks they are in God’s Love! Also, who is it that treads the winepress or the grapes of God’s anger?
Revelation 19:15-16… And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may strike the nations with it, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. He treads too the winepress of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty. And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
God is going to use an adversity to kill off many peoples in and among the nations, that is just what God says he is going to do, not my words but HIS. If you had to give such a message, would it make your stomach upset? Would you not feel like putting on sackcloth?
Who is to blame for this incoming calamity upon mankind: is it the Two Witnesses, or is it maybe you think God is to blame or is it really YOU that is to blame?
Jeremiah 25:33-38… And those slain by the LORD will certainly come to be in that day from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth. They will not be bewailed, neither will they be gathered up or be buried. As manure on the surface of the ground they will become. 34 “Howl, Wail, YOU shepherds, (Ezekiel 34:1-12) and cry out! And wallow about in the ash, YOU majestic principal ones of the flock, (Ezekiel 34:16-22) because YOUR days for slaughtering and for YOUR scatterings / dispersion have been fulfilled, and YOU must fall like a desirable alabaster vessel! 35 And a place to flee to has perished from the shepherds, and a means of escape from the majestic principal ones of the flock. 36 Listen! The outcry of the shepherds, and the howling of the majestic principal ones of the flock, for The LORD is despoiling and destroying their pasturage. 37 And the peaceful abiding places of his folds have been rendered lifeless (H1826 Silent) because of the burning anger of The LORD. 38 He has left his covert just like a maned young lion, for their land has become an object of astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressor’s maltreating sword and because of The LORD’S burning anger.”
The flock has been misled into spiritual death and the blame is on the shepherds and the leaders or majestic principal ones of the flock of God’s sheep.
At this time, I would like you to stop and read Ezekiel 34:1-31 in your own Bible. Because you will find three messages, first to the shepherds then the strong and robust sheep, lastly to sick sheep.

So, have you been listening to the Great Shepherd of the sheep?
You may be asking yourself why is God speaking such harsh words to us?
Go look into the mirror and ask yourself these next three questions.
Have I been loving to all? How do I treat people? Do I even know the 10 commandments of God?
Did reading these questions make you uneasy? Good, you may now want to ask: Is there anything that we can do about this?
Repent!
Yes, make you way straight by repenting!
Acts 3:19-21… Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get YOUR sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the person of Jehovah and that he may send forth the Christ appointed for YOU, Jesus, whom heaven, indeed, must hold within itself until the times of restoration of all things of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets of old time.
Are You Baptized?
Acts 19:3-5… And he said: “In what, then, were YOU baptized?” They said: “In John’s baptism.” Paul said: “John baptized with the baptism [in symbol] of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they got baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 22:16… And now why are you delaying? Rise get baptized and wash your sins away by your calling upon his name.
Have You Called Upon the Name of the Lord?
Philippians 2:9-11… For this very reason also, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name, so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
Now what do you think you need to do next?
That’s right get down on your knees and pray hard, and openly acknowledge Jesus Christ is the Lord of heaven and earth and let yourself be reconciled to the Christ.
Romans 5:8-11… But God recommends his own love to us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more, therefore, since we have been declared righteous now by his blood, shall we be saved through him from wrath. For if, when we were enemies, we became reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only that, but we are also exulting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Amos 8:2… Then he said: “What are you seeing, Amos?” So, I said: “A basket of summer fruit.” The LORD went on to say to me: “The end has come to my people Israel. I shall no more do any further excusing (H5674 Pass over) of them.”
Amos 3:8… There is a lion that has roared! Who will not be afraid? The Sovereign Lord YHWH himself has spoken! Who will not prophesy?
