Exegesis
The verse opens with the sequential declaration kai allos deuteros angelos ēkolouthēsen legōn {Καὶ ἄλλος δεύτερος ἄγγελος ἠκολούθησεν λέγων | Kaì állos deúteros ángelos ēkoloúthēsen légōn}, where allos deuteros indicates an additional, second messenger and legōn functions as a circumstantial participle introducing speech.
In context — Revelation 14:8
And another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen—fallen is Babylon the great, who has given all the nations to drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication .”
