I didn't really understand this one. What's the purpose of eating the scroll? Is it a metaphor for taking in the Word of God and sharing it? The only part that really made sense is that the heavens open at the sound of the seventh trumpet.
The righteous will prevail, the Lord will condemn the wicked.

I did not understand much either. As for eating the scroll, upon first reading this I was unsure, then my bible referenced a passage in Ezekiel which talks of this very thing, which I assume then this is Ezekiel who is sharing this message in Revelation. But then I got confused. After reading the reference verses, it does appear to be that he is eating the scroll to then share the words God is saying through him. The end seems as if the heavens have opened and given you a peak of what is there.
I think your synopsis of this one is accurate. I feel like we are reading longer passages in this round of Proverbs and it seems like I don't get as much out of it as when we read shorter passages. I get lost in the long ones.
