120 D&C 88 reveals that the angel communicating with John is Michael, as the same events found in Rev. 10 are paralleled in section 88.

121 Joseph Smith wrote about truth tasting sweet, as follows: “This is good doctrine. It tastes good. I can taste the principles of eternal life, and so can you. They are given to me by the revelations of Jesus Christ; and I know that when I tell you these words of eternal life as they are given to me, you taste them, and I know that you believe them. You say honey is sweet, and so do I. I can also taste the spirit of eternal life. I know it is good; and when I tell you of these things which were given me by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, you are bound to receive them as sweet, and rejoice more and more.” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith , compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1977], 355).
