An angel [ε ν ο ς α γ γ ε λ ο υ]. For angel read ajetou eagle. Lit., one eagle. The eagle is a symbol of vengeance in Deuteronomy 28:49; Hosea 8:1; Habakkuk 1:8.

Mid heaven [μ ε σ ο υ ρ α ν η μ α τ ι]. Only in Revelation, here, Revelation 14:6; Revelation 19:17. It means, properly, the meridian, the highest point in the heavens which the sun occupies at noon; not the space between heaven and earth.
