An angel descends from heaven with an open "little scroll". This could refer to the scroll that had been sealed and is now open, but the first scroll was not identified as being "little".
The angel speaks and seven thunders speak in return. However, John is told not to write down what the seven thunders say.
The angel tells John that the seventh trumpet will sound and "the mystery of God will be accomplished". If the seventh trumpet has not sounded yet, this implies that the first six trumpets may have already sounded and we are living with the crazy angelic beings running that were loosed from the Abyss.
John then eats the scroll and he is to prophesy to all nations. This could refer to the book of Revelations itself. Perhaps the book of Revelations is the "little scroll" and this ritual is an angelic blessing on the book before John sends it to the seven churches.
