Exegesis

The phrase allos angelos {ἄλλος ἄγγελος | állos án-ge-los} “another angel” introduces an additional heavenly messenger, while the prepositional phrase ek tou thysiastēriou {ἐκ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου | ek tou thu-si-as-tē-rí-ou} “from the altar” situates his origin at the heavenly place of sacrifice.

The articular participle ho echōn exousian epi tou puros {ὁ ἔχων ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τοῦ πυρός | ho é-khōn ex-ou-sí-an epí tou py-rós} “the one who has authority over the fire” functions attributively, emphasizing his divinely granted right to handle judicial fire.

In contextRevelation 14:18

And another angel came out from the altar , having authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send out your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes have fully ripened.”
