RE 8:8 And the second angel sounded and, as it were, a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and a third part of the sea became blood. The image of an angel standing with a little book refers to a powerful vision from the Bible's Book of Revelation. The celestial figure is described as resting one foot on the sea and the other on the land, symbolizing God's ultimate authority over all of creation. [1, 2]
