Who Is This Angel?

Scholars are divided on the identity of this angel. Some, like John Gill, argue forcefully that this is Jesus Christ himself, pointing to the majestic descriptions that echo those of Christ in Revelation 1. Others, like A.T. Robertson and Charles Ellicott, believe it is a powerful created angel, noting that the text calls him "another angel," which seems to distinguish him from Christ.
