Revelation 10 is the tenth chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle,[1][2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate.[3] This chapter and the first part of the next chapter report two episodes which intervene between the sounding of the sixth and seventh trumpets.[4]
