3. The booklet of John
(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.
As in the double fulfillment of the 70th year week, whose first fulfillment was in the days of the Messiah on earth, and whose second fulfillment is yet to come.
Summary of previous article:
The parallel of the booklet that John had to eat with the booklet that Ezekiel had to eat.
Ezekiel had to speak to the rebellious Jewish people with God’s words based on lamentations, mourning and woes.
It was bitter for Ezekiel to know what calamity would befall the Jewish people.
Like the Jews, apostate Christians now need to be warned of calamity and return to their heavenly Father in repentance.
The purpose of the measurement is to identify and protect the called, chosen and faithful.
All those who have God’s seal.
The Gentiles will trample the Christian way of life for 42 months or 3.5 years.
