This Angel of might is Christ, as appeareth by the description of him, and by all the consequents following:1 for he is said to be clothed with a Cloud, which signifieth his great glory and Majesty: For he shall come in the clouds of heaven to judge the world; that is, ⟨p. 160⟩with great pomp and glory. The Rain-bow was upon his head, which signifieth the covenant of peace with his Church, as before, Chap. 4. verse 3. His face was as the Sun, which signifieth comfort and deliverance to his Church, and the dispelling of all the smoke of the bottomless Pit, as the Sun Scattereth and driveth away the thick mists.
