Revelation 14:15

another angel It is probably not relevant to argue that in classical Greek this would not necessarily imply that the previously named Person is an Angel, even if "another" is meant to distinguish the Angel from Him. But comparing Revelation 14:6, it appears that the angel may be called "another" simply to distinguish him from those of Revelation 14:6; Revelation 14:8: and then no inference whatever can be drawn as to the figure of Revelation 14:14.

out of the temple See Revelation 11:19, and note on Revelation 4:6.

Thrust in Lit. send, as in St Mark 4:29, where "putteth in" should be "sendeth forth" (the Greek word is not the same as here, but there is hardly any difference in sense). It maybe implied, that the Son of Man does not reap Himself cf. St Matthew 24:31. See on the next verse.

is ripe Lit. is dried; hence R. V. "is over-ripe"; possibly a more literal translation than St Mark's, l.c., of our Lord's words in the parable, to which there is probably a reference.
