Then I saw an angel standing in
the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in
the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,
that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty
men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all
people, free and slave, both small and great.”

This shows how bright this angels shines with the glory of God. The angel can
be seen, even though it stands before the sun. “The angel is standing in the
light of the sun with the angel himself possibly shining with even greater
brilliance.” (Walvoord)

The
repetition of flesh (5 times) is
revealing. “The race has walked in carnal enmity against God, living after the
flesh, and now the day of His patience is at an end.” (Barnhouse)

It
also shows that men of all stations
are judged. The high and the low together, if they remain hardened in their
rejection of Jesus, will be judged. “The divine judgment upon the wicked is no
respecter of persons or station, and is the great equalizer of all.” (Walvoord)
