This apocalyptic bit of art has always been a favorite of mine. I love how the angel is portrayed - majestic and monolithic - yet completely incorporeal. That is a fantastic description of the otherworldly God we worship, and part of what makes Him so fantastic. What He requires of us is so benign, but sometimes so difficult to grasp. Faith is an amazing thing.
However - there is much more power to the Lord God Almighty.
Revelation 10:1-3 -
"Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire. And in his hand was a small scroll[a] that had been opened. He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. And he gave a great shout like the roar of a lion. And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered."
He is one deserving of worship.
