Bible Question:
Are these three verses connected? 10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow (As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud (Eze 1:28a KJVR)) was on his head. His face was like the sun (Rev 1:16 Jesus face like the sun), and his feet like pillars of fire. (His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. (Dan 10:6 KJVR)) And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; (Rev 2:18 KJVR) |
Bible Answer: Dear Thomas 8, Not all of them are not connected, some of them are. Revelation 10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow as the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud was on his head. His face was like the sun and his feet like pillars of fire. This is talking about a mighty angel. Ezekiel 1:28a KJVR - This is a picture of Jesus as God on the throne in heaven not an angel. Rev 1:16 Jesus face like the sun - Jesus is God not an angel. Dan 10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. This is seen by most commentators as being Christ and not the angel Michael. Revelation2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass. This is describing Jesus. There are several times where Revelation will say and they another angel, this always means a next separate angel. There are several times where Revelaiton will say a mighty angel who are given descriptions similar to those given to Jesus in some way or other, but it means an angel and not Jesus. There are several times in the OT where Jesus is described as having a raingbow around Him and this has no connection to where angels have something similar described of them in Revelation. These kinds of descriptions of both Jesus and angels is talking about some sort of glory they possess as angels also have states of glory that they are in which can be seen with the naked eye according the account of John in Revelation and Daniel and Ezekiel in the OT. |
