Elim "Mute" by roel1943 via FlickrThe Jamieson Fausset Brown Bible Commentary states: "a little book - a scroll, little in comparison with the scroll, the book of Revelation 5:1, which contained the whole vast scheme of God's purposes, not to be fully read till the final consummation. This smaller book contained only a portion which John was now to make his own, and then to use in prophesying to others."What is in this little scroll, this little book, is what is not in the greater scroll, the greater book, which in being opened by the Lamb revealed to John/Yochanan the judgment through which the Lamb, Yehoshua, was being and would be revealed as the King of kings, the Anointed King of Israel.
What then is in this little book is of the greatest significance, for it is that which is hidden in the word of God, the revelation of Mashiach that is hidden in the word of God. We see that it is the voices of the seven thunders which have been "muted" within the larger scroll, the larger Bible, and we therefore understand that at the time when the prophecy of this hidden aspect of the revelation of Mashiach charged to John is given the great roar of the seven thunders will be heard in all the world.
