Revelation 10:2 Revelation 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, John saw Jesus take the sealed book out of his Father’ s hand, and he opened the seals thereof: And now John saw a little book in the hand of Jesus Christ open: It is called a little book because it contains but a part of the revealed will of God. It is said to be in the hand of Christ, to show us, first, that he will preserve and safe keep the Holy Scripture, and every book thereof, in his own hand by his Almighty Power. As the saints are in Christ’ s hand, and none can pull them out of his hand, \ so the Scriptures of Truth are in Christ’ s hand, and none can pull them out of His hand. Secondly, that Christ will keep an open door for the Gospel, when the temple worship and public ordinances will be shut up, \ by persecuting the Church of God. And he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth Whereby is signified Christ’ s sovereignty over all both at land and at sea. Christ hath the Supremacy and the Preeminency over and above all. \ He is the only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. \ All power in heaven and earth is given unto our Lord Jesus Christ, \ and Christ (in his time) will take unto him his great power and reign. \
