Revelation 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.

·        These interludes serve a dramatic purpose, but also show mercy in allowing more opportunity for repentance. It is as if God brings things to the brink, then pulls back a little to grant mankind more time to repent. (DG)

·        Whoever his exact identity, “clearly this angel has come from the very presence of God” (Barclay), and shows great might and authority. (DG)

Ezekiel 1:26-28 ….like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day….

Exodus 13:22  He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people
