Revelation 10


There are several Biblical references where Jesus makes cameo appearances. In the Old Testament, He's known as "the Angel of the Lord." We see that in the story of Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego. Remember the guys in the fire? King Nebuchadnezzar said that he saw a fourth person in the fire. Who was the fourth? The Angel of the Lord. It was Jesus. Joshua had a conversation with the "captain of the Lord's Army..." Who's the Captain of the Lord's army? That's Jesus.

He's already seen the mighty angel in Chapter 1...

So, the question is: Who is 'of the same kind' as Jesus, who is also referenced as 'A mighty angel'? The only explanation that makes sense to me is... the Holy Spirit.

This says... He will be wrapped in a cloud... with a rainbow over his head... His face will be like the sun and his legs will be like pillars of fire...

When you look at these descriptive images... they look ...
