"And he had in his
hand a little book
open:
...........
and he set his right
foot upon the sea,
God had given the earth
to Adam and Eve.
Satan tempted them in
the garden of Eden
and they sinned which gave
the earth to Satan.
Here Jesus has come back
with the 'litte book' opened.
It is the title-deed showing that His death
and resurrection had bought back the earth and
He has come to legally possess it.
