Revelation 5 and 10 explained!

Glory! Glory! Glory! By God's marvelous grace, I have found more keys to unlocking secrets in Revelation 5 and 10!

God the Father, who sits in the throne in heaven, has a form like that of a man!

(Revelation 4:3) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

(Ezekiel 1:26) And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
(Ezekiel 1:27) And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
(Ezekiel 1:28) As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.


There's another thing I discovered with Revelation 10. The little scroll John eats.

(Revelation 10:9) And I went away toward the angel, saying to him, Give the little scroll to me. And he said to me, Take and eat it up, and it will make your belly bitter, but it will be sweet as honey in your mouth.

(Ezekiel 2:9) And I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me. And behold, a roll of a book was in it.
(Ezekiel 2:10) And He spread it before me, and it was written on the face and the back. And written on it were weepings, and mourning, and woe.
(Ezekiel 3:3) And He said to me, Son of man, make your belly eat, and fill your bowels with the roll, this that I give to you. And I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey for sweetness.
(Ezekiel 3:14) So the Spirit lifted me up and took me, and I went bitterly in the heat of my spirit, but the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.

Has it been confirmed?

This evening has been strange. While I'm typing this, it is still Sabbath. I had been taking a nap. Just before I took my nap, I pleaded with God over and over to answer the questions filling in my mind. I prayed that He would fill me with the Holy Spirit in a great measure and answer my questions. I did this until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I felt a bit strange and I continued praying to God to answer my questions, or any one of my questions. I prayed that if it was my fault for not hearing, because of some hidden iniquity, that He would open my ears and let me listen and forgive me, as well as for being presumptuously boldly and repeatedly asking Him to answer my questions. I ended up verbally ( I don't usually pray out loud) praying in Jesus' name and by the Covenant.

I prayed for the strange feeling I had. It was really starting to make me feel uneasy. All of a sudden, my mind was filled with two two-paged stone books opening with violet and green and stars. Suddenly the revelation came to me that the Law had just been written on my heart and in my mind. I felt a sudden reluctance to do wrong. Not that I never had reluctance, but that reluctance had mostly been because I was raised to shun those evils as best I could. Then, A text floated in my consciousness; James 5:1. I looked it up in e-Sword and here's what it said.

(James 5:1 LITV) Come now, rich ones, weep, howling over your hardships coming on.

It suddenly clicked in my mind that this is an answer to one of my questions. I had been asking God if any of my litany of philosophical (at least, in that category) questions before the Time of Trouble. (This was because of not knowing if I would live that long.) This text suddenly clicked to me that I would be around when the Time of Trouble comes. I only pray that I have the faith to actually believe this. The idea currently seems so unlikely. However, if this is true, and I am deciding to take a leap of faith and believe it is true, then what would that mean about the escalation of the severity of world events?
