"And I went unto the angel, and said unto
him, Give me the little book. And he said
unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall
make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy
mouth sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of the angel's
hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth
sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten
it, my belly was bitter." Revelation 10:9-10

By opening the seals of the book of the
title-deed, Christ is taking possession of the
earth so that He can give it to His saints.

John, one of the apostles, "caught up into
heaven" (Revelation 4:1), an official of the
raptured Church, by eating the book, is
receiving the title-deed of the earth.
