"Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.  He had a little book open in his hand.  And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring" (Revelation 10:1-2).  Size is often equated with significance - that's why cities compete for the tallest buildings, or we make judgements about people based on the size of their bank account, or car, or house, etc.  In the eyes of the world, the church is small and insignificant - even moreso that was the case in John's day when it was trampled down by the Roman soldiers so easily.  The Bible is a book easily burned, easily mocked, easily dismissed; and often Christians have been burned alive with their copies of the little book.  Nevertheless, here's a picture that reminds us that appearances can be deceptive.  The little church with its little book (containing the Words and purposes of God) are significant to God, and that makes them the most significant things in the world.  Here this mighty figure holds God's Word in His hand - it reminds us that the little book stands high above everything else in this world that stands in competition to it - every other religious text or philosophical idea or confident atheistic doubt.  Its message commands both sea and land - everything, everywhere and everytime.  Even in the darkest days at the end of this evil age, God's Word stands tall and as God reigns through His Word.  As you read the Bible today, meditating on its contents, remember it is significant and worthy of our confidence: "so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11).
