NOTES ON CHAP. X.

Verse Revelation 10:1. Another mighty angel] Either Christ or his representative; clothed with a cloud; a symbol of the Divine majesty.

A rainbow was upon his head] The token of God's merciful covenant with mankind.

His face was as it were the sun] So intensely glorious that it could not be looked on.

His feet as pillars of fire] To denote the rapidity and energy of his motions, and the stability of his counsels.
