Dear mommaw, Welcome to the forum. Most bible scholars believe it be Jesus Christ. "... another mighty angel--as distinguished from the mighty angel who asked as to the former and more comprehensive book (Revelation 5:2), "Who is worthy to open the book?" clothed with a cloud--the emblem of God coming in judgment. a--A; B, C. and Aleph read "the"; referring to (Revelation 4:3) the rainbow already mentioned. rainbow upon his head--the emblem of covenant mercy to God's people, amidst judgments on God's foes. Resumed from Revelation 4:3 face as . . . the sun--(Revelation 1:16, 18:1). feet as pillars of fire--(Revelation 1:15, Ezekiel 1:7). The angel, as representative of Christ, reflects His glory and bears the insignia attributed in Revelation 1:15,16, 4:3, to Christ Himself. The pillar of fire by night led Israel through the wilderness, and was the symbol of God's presence." (Jamieson Fausett Brown) "The person who was principally concerned in communicating this discovery to John—an angel from heaven, another mighty angel, who is so set forth as would induce one to think it could be no other than our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! 1. He was clothed with a cloud: he veils his glory, which is too great for mortality to behold; and he throws a veil upon his dispensations. Clouds and darkness are round about him. 2. A rainbow was upon his head; he is always mindful of his covenant, and, when his conduct is most mysterious, yet it is perfectly just and faithful. 3. His face was as the sun, all bright, and full of lustre and majesty, ch. 1:16. 4. His feet were as pillars of fire; all his ways, both of grace and providence, are pure and steady." (Matthew Henry) Hope the above helpful. Shalom Azure |
