Revelation 10:1

Revelation 10:1

^Rev.10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

I saw… John is reporting what he sees with his eyes. John sees the physical and spiritual world without distinction; to hi the events taking place in angelic realm are as clear as events taking place in the physical

Another -  He is "another" perhaps in the sense being different from the seven trumpet angels, not the same angel who blowing the trumpt.

Coming down -  Not like 5th trumpet, there angels are fell down from the heaven. But here the angle is coming down from the heaven.

Clothed with a cloud -    The "cloud" also directs our attention to Christ. The original language is a little more specific than translations indicate. John saw the mighty angel as "having been clothed with a cloud." In other words, He received it before the specific time in history represented by His appearance in our passage. When he left His disciples and ascended at the end of HIs ministry on earth, ". . . a cloud received him out of their sight." (Acts 1:9).

Rev 1:7 “…He is coming with clouds…”

Mat. 17:5 “…a bright cloud overshadowed them”

Who is the Mighty Angel?

Another might angel

We will see those two arguments let God reveals the truth. But the Hebrew bible and Jews Christians are believes this Mighty Angel none other than Jesus Christ.

Some comparison from the scripture which is support this mighty angel is Jesus Christ.

There are similarities with this vision and the one recorded by the prophet Daniel

Dan. 10:5-8

⁵            I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz!

⁶            His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.

⁷            And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

8 Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength.

The prophet Ezekiel also made reference to this messenger

Ezekiel 1:26-28

Ezekiel ^1:26                And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.

²⁷          Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around.

²⁸          Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD so when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.
