Another angel; supposed by many to be the Messenger of the covenant, the High-priest of our profession, Jesus Christ, offering the petitions of this people, and making intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25. These petitions manifestly have reference to the impending judgments that are about to fall on the earth, and so long as they are continued the judgments are delayed, verse Revelation 8:1. The object of the petitions we may understand to be, as in chapter Revelation 6:10, the avenging of the blood of the saints.

Censer; a pan, or small vessel, in which incense was burnt, and from which arose a smoke of fragrant odor.
