“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:”
And I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire — the mighty angel (angelos ischyros) descending from heaven combines attributes of theophany: cloud (divine presence, Exodus 16:10), rainbow (covenant promise, Genesis 9:16), sun-bright face (divine glory, Matthew 17:2), pillars of fire (Exodus 13:21, divine guidance and protection). The figure is majestic and speaks with divine authority.
