18 Tricky Revelation 10 Quiz Questions and Answers

Answer 1: D: The angel’s face was as it were the sun. Distractor A (moon) is a feature of another heavenly vision in Revelation but is not the comparison used here. Distractor B and C draw on fire and coal imagery from Ezekiel’s vision of the cherubim, not from this verse.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:1, “his face was as it were the sun.”

Answer 2: A: The angel’s right foot was set upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth. Distractor B names where the left foot rested, making it the primary trap for anyone who recalls both details but reverses them.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:2, “and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.”

Answer 3: C: The angel cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth. Distractor A (trumpet) and B (thunder) both name sounds associated with divine judgment in Revelation but are not the comparison the text uses for this cry.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:3, “And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth.”

Answer 4: B: John was told to seal up what the seven thunders uttered and write them not. Distractor E (seal it not) is the sharpest trap, because the command was to seal AND not write, so “seal it not” inverts the actual instruction.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:4, “Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.”

Answer 5: E: The angel swore that there should be time no longer, meaning no further delay before the mystery of God is finished. The other options describe related concepts of ending but do not reproduce the specific term the verse uses.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:6, “that there should be time no longer.”

Answer 6: A: A rainbow was upon his head. Distractor D (cloud) names what he was clothed with, not what was on his head. Both details appear in the same verse, making D the primary content trap.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:1, “and a rainbow was upon his head.”

Answer 7: C: The little book made his belly bitter. Distractor A (swell) and B (cold) are invented physical effects not stated in the text. The compound D (A and B) fails because both components are false; neither swelling nor cold is mentioned in verse ten.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:10, “and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.”

Answer 8: D: His feet were as pillars of fire. Distractor A (pillars of bronze) echoes the pillars of the temple and the feet description of the glorified Christ in chapter one, making it a plausible cross-chapter trap.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:1, “and his feet as pillars of fire.”

Answer 9: B: John was to prophesy before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. Distractor D rearranges real KJV vocabulary from this and adjacent chapters but inserts “elders” in place of “kings,” which is the error. Distractor E uses “kindreds” from chapter seven but omits “kings” entirely.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:11, “Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

Answer 10: A: Seven thunders uttered their voices. The number seven governs many of the judgments in Revelation, but it is specifically named here for the thunders whose words John was forbidden to write.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:3, “and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.”

Answer 11: D: The mystery of God would be finished. This is the same mystery declared to his servants the prophets, the full unfolding of God’s redemptive purpose. The other options describe theological concepts but none is named in verse seven.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:7, “the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”

Answer 12: C: The little book was open in his hand. Distractor A (sealed) is the strongest trap — the great scroll of chapter five was sealed with seven seals, making “sealed” a plausible but incorrect answer drawn from the same book.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:2, “And he had in his hand a little book open.”

Answer 13: B: In his mouth it was sweet as honey. Distractor C (bitter as gall) names what the book became in the belly, not what it tasted like in the mouth. The two effects — sweetness then bitterness — are the heart of the passage.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:10, “it was in my mouth sweet as honey.”

Answer 14: A: The mystery was declared to his servants the prophets. The precise phrase combines servanthood and prophetic office. Distractor D (angels and saints) invents a combination not given in the text.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:7, “as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”

Answer 15: E: The angel lifted up his hand to heaven before swearing. Distractor D (fell upon his face) names a common act of heavenly worship described elsewhere in Revelation, but the specific gesture before the oath here is the raised hand.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:5, “And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven.”

Answer 16: D: The voice from heaven that John had heard spoke again and told him to take the little book. Distractor B (the angel himself) is a strong trap because the angel does then speak, but the instruction to go and take it came first from the heavenly voice, not the angel.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:8, “And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book.”

Answer 17: C: The angel was clothed with a cloud. Distractor A (fine linen) is the garment of the righteous in chapter nineteen and of the priestly order but is not what this angel wore. Distractor D (white robes) is the clothing of the overcomers and martyrs throughout the book.
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:1, “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud.”

Answer 18: B: The angel sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and earth and sea. Distractor C (the one who created) names a true attribute of the same being stated in the same verse, but the specific title used for the oath is “him that liveth,” not “him that created.”
KJV Reference: Revelation 10:6, “And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are.”
