Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Rev 10:8 - Again speaking and saying

Again speaking and saying ( palin lalousan kai legousan ).

Present active predicate participles feminine accusative singular agreeing with hēn (object of ēkousa ), not with phōnē (nominative) as most of the cursives have it (lalousa kai legousa ). Ordinarily it would be elalei kai elegen . See Rev 4:1 for like idiom. This is the voice mentioned in Rev 10:4. No great distinction is to be made here between laleō and legō .

Robertson: Rev 10:8 - Go, take

Go, take ( Hupage labe ).

Present active imperative of hupagō and second aorist active imperative of lambanō . The use of hupage (exclamation like ide ) is common in N.T. (Mat 5:24; Mat 8:4; Mat 19:21; Joh 4:16; Joh 9:7). Charles calls it a Hebraism (Rev 16:1). Note the repeated article here (to ) referring to the open book in the hand of the angel (Rev 10:2), only here biblion is used, not the diminutive of biblaridion of Rev 10:2, Rev 10:9, Rev 10:10.

Vincent: Rev 10:8 - Spake unto me

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Rev 10:8 - And the voice which I heard from heaven // Go and take the little book

And the voice which I heard from heaven the voice mentioned Rev 10:4 .

Go and take the little book the little book mentioned Rev 10:2 . John is bid to take this book, by which some understand the Scriptures; but it is most probably the book mentioned Rev 5:1 , before sealed, now open.

PBC: Rev 10:8

There is a great significance to the command to " go and take the book." We will especially find this manifest in verse eleven. The things contained in the little book were sweet to the taste because it was the word of God. The Psalmist David speaks of these, " The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward" {Ps 19:9-11}

When John had digested the things written in the book of the great destruction, they became bitter to him. God’s ministers are often commanded to preach things which, when digested, makes them bitter to the heart and mind.— Eld. Charles Taylor

Gill: Rev 10:8 - And the voice which I heard from heaven // spake to me again, and said, go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth

And the voice which I heard from heaven,.... In Rev 10:4;

spake to me again, and said, go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth; as John was to prophesy, Rev 10:11; it was necessary that he should have a mission and a commission from heaven; and that he should have the open book of prophecy to prophesy out of; and that he should receive this from the angel's hands, who had unloosed its seals, and opened it: and just so to ordinary prophesying, or preaching, it is necessary that men should have their commission from heaven, should be called of God, and sent by him; and that they should have the book of the Scriptures before them, and open to them, and speak according to these oracles, agreeably to the law and to the testimony, which are profitable for doctrine; and that they should also receive the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, with gifts, and a commission to preach it, from the Angel of the covenant, Jesus Christ, who has all power both in heaven and in earth; see Rev 10:2.
