This very special angel is one of extreme might and power. Rev. 10:1 He is strong and valiant. One to whom all power could well be attributed. There is one who is all powerful, both on earth and in heaven and that is the Lord Jesus. Mt. 28:18 He is shrouded by a cloud, the cloud of glory. The holy garments of the high priest were for glory and beauty. Ex. 28:2 Surely one clothed with such beautiful garments as we see here in the book of Revelation would be none other than our high priest, the Lord Jesus. Heb. 4:14.
His crown is a full rainbow, brilliant and with the purity of colors which will be found only in things heavenly and eternal. Here too we see the scriptures fulfilled for Jesus is to be crowned with many crowns. Rev. 19:12 Once again the evidence of the triunity of the Godhead as revealed in the Lord Jesus. Repeatedly, we find in the Word the fact that there are some special things which please the Father and this is one of them. The Father, who is Spirit and likewise the Holy Spirit, Himself being Spirit, are pleased to dwell in fullness in the physical, resurrected, eternal, spiritual body of the Lord Jesus. Col. 1:19 Blended together in a unity that supersedes all other. Yet, each retaining and maintaining there individuality as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are neither three nor one, they are both, three in one. Dwelling together in the one body, that of the Lord Jesus Christ.
His appearance is glorious, and as welcome and enjoyable as the sun. His face is no longer like the sorrowful, pitiful, imaginative paintings which we see of the Lord Jesus today. His sufferings are past, He has been raised from the dead by the glory of God the Father and is exactly like the Word pictures Him. He is the SUN of righteousness. Mal. 4:2 He is the embodiment of His Father who is also so brilliant in His light and glory that He too is called a SUN. Ps. 84:11 No, never, our sun is not the Lord nor are any of the star/suns which shine in the heavens to be identified as being the Lord. He is much more brilliant than any of them. They all derive their light from Him because He is LIGHT. The only source of all light, natural and spiritual. 1 John 1:5.
His feet as pillars of fire. A positive identification making this being to be none other than the Lord Jesus. John had previously seen legs and feet and was well aware that they belonged to the Lord Jesus. Rev. 1:15 He is the same person who appeared to Daniel. Dan. 10:6 How privileged these individuals were to see Him in the completeness of His glory and majesty.
