Verse 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 had an "eternal gospel" to preach to the worldwide population. "Gospel" means good news. What this good news is comes out in the next verse. It is "eternal" because it has eternal significance.
