AR 465
I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven.
(Revelation 10:1)
That the angel here is the Lord
is apparent from his description,
that he was clothed with a cloud,
with a rainbow over his head;
that his face was like the sun
and his feet like pillars of fire;
and that he kept his feet on the sea and on the land;
moreover that he cried out as when a lion roars,
and that his voice was like thunder.
He appeared as an angel,
because that is how He appears
when He manifests Himself in the heavens
and below the heavens.
. . . No angel, and still less any mortal,
can endure His presence as He is in Himself
or in His essence.
Therefore He appears above the heavens as the sun,
which is as distant from the angels
as the world's sun is from people.
He is present there in His Divinity from eternity
and at the same time in His Divine Humanity,
which are united like soul and body.
