(Revelation 10: 9) 9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

The Bible works with patterns, patterns that come back more often.
In the first fulfillment of the pattern an imprint is given of what is about to happen, of what will be fulfilled exactly the same in the second fulfillment.

The purpose of the measurement is to identify and protect the called, chosen and faithful.
All those who have God’s seal.

KJV (Daniel 7:23) 23 “Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth…
KJV (Daniel 8:20) 20 As for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.
