The fact that the scroll is flying indicates a supernatural element at work -- specifically signifying that the message it contains is from God and is meant to reach its intended audience swiftly. The speed and range of its flight also symbolize the pervasive and inescapable nature of God's word and judgment. 

The scroll's content, revealed in subsequent verses, relates to judgment against sin, aligning with the recurring themes of justice and righteousness found in Bible prophecy.
