Revelation 14:15

ἄλλος ἄγγελος. It is probably not relevant to argue that in classical Greek this would not necessarily imply that the previously named Person is an Angel, even if “another” is meant to distinguish the Angel from him. But comparing Revelation 14:6, it appears that the angel may be called “another” simply to distinguish him from those of Revelation 14:6; Revelation 14:8-9 : and then no decisive inference can be drawn as to the figure of Revelation 14:14.

ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ. See Revelation 11:19 and note on Revelation 4:6.

πέμψον. Lit. “send,” cf. ἀποστέλλει, St Mark 4:29. It may be implied here, as it probably is in St Mark, that the Son of Man does not reap Himself, cf. St Matthew 24:31. See on the next verse.

ἐξηράνθη. Lit. “is dried,” hence R.V[499] “is over-ripe”:—possibly a more literal translation than St Mark’s account of our Lord’s words in the parable, to which there is probably a reference.
