Revelation 10:2 shows the angel holding the little scroll—the source John takes and eats, providing immediate narrative context.

Psalm 119:103 directly compares God's words to honey—strong parallel to the scroll being sweet as honey in the mouth.

Ezekiel 2:10 describes the scroll's content as lamentation and woe—explaining why John's scroll later turns bitter in the stomach.

Ezekiel 3:3 is the direct OT parallel: Ezekiel eats a scroll that tastes sweet as honey—the same imagery John experiences.

Ezekiel 3:14 shows Ezekiel going in bitterness after eating the scroll—mirroring the bitter stomach in John's experience.

Psalm 19:10 compares God's words to honey — the sweetness John experiences echoes this common biblical image.
