Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:6

And I saw another angel - This must, of course, mean a different one from someone mentioned before; but no such angel is referred to in the previous chapters, unless we go back to Revelation 12:7. It is not necessary, however, to suppose that John refers to a particular angel immediately preceding this. In the course of these visions he had seen many angels; and now, accustomed to these visions, he says that he saw “another” one employed in a remarkable embassy, whose message was suited to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 14:6-7

Revelation 14:6-7. And As a further motive to Christian patience and constancy, this vision of the happy state of faithful Christians was followed by another; I saw another angel A second is mentioned Revelation 14:8; a third, Revelation 14:9. These denote great messengers of God, with their assistants. The first exhorts to the fear and worship of God, the second proclaims the fall of Babylon, the third gives warning concerning the beast. Happy were they who made a right use of these... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 14:6-20

Angels and the harvest of the earth (14:6-20)Three angels now make proclamations. The first reminds people of the good news of God’s salvation, adding a warning of judgment and urging sinners to repent (6-7). The second announces judgment on Babylon, symbol of ungodly humankind who, in pride and opposition to God, has corrupted the world (8). The third announces judgment on all who have followed the antichrist (9-11).John desires that these visions encourage the Christians to be faithful in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 14:6

And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;I saw another angel flying in mid heaven ... It is of passing interest that some try to bolster a late first century date of Revelation through the notion that, "Angels begin to fly in the Jewish heaven about the beginning of the first century."[31] A parallel between Revelation 14:13 and Clement of Rome (xlvii) is also... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 14:6-7

Revelation 14:6-7. I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, &c.— Such is the nature and character of the true Christian church in opposition to the wicked antichristian kingdom; and three principal efforts have been made towards a reformation at three different times, represented by three angels appearing one after another. Another angel, besides those who were employed in singing, is seen flying in the midst of heaven, and having the everlasting gospel to preach unto every nation... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:6

6. Here begins the portion relating to the Gentile world, as the former portion related to Israel. Before the end the Gospel is to be preached for a WITNESS unto all nations: not that all nations shall be converted, but all nations shall have had the opportunity given them of deciding whether they will be for, or against, Christ. Those thus preached to are "they that dwell (so A, Coptic, and Syriac read. But B, C, ORIGEN, Vulgate, CYPRIAN, 312, read, 'SIT,' compare Matthew 4:16; Luke 1:79,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 14:6

John next saw another angel (cf. Revelation 7:2; Revelation 8:3; Revelation 10:1) flying between heaven and earth (cf. Revelation 8:13). He was "another" probably like Michael (Revelation 12:7), the nearest specific angel in the context. This is the first of six specific angels who individually participate in the events recorded in this chapter (Revelation 14:8-9; Revelation 14:15; Revelation 14:17-18). He was flying in mid-heaven, so nothing hindered people on earth from hearing his words.He... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 14:6-13

Four climactic announcements 14:6-13"And I saw" (Gr. kai eidon) signals another scene of this vision on earth. In this one John heard four announcements that provide incentives for remaining faithful to God and resisting the beasts. Angels made the first three announcements, and a voice from heaven gave the fourth. read more
