Exegesis
A second main verb, ekraxen {ἔκραξεν | é-kra-xen}, shifts from vision to proclamation, with the dative phrase phōnē megalē {φωνῇ μεγάλῃ | phō-nê me-gá-lē} expressing manner, “with a loud voice,” underscoring urgency and universal audibility.
In context — Revelation 19:17
And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that are flying in midheaven, “Come, be gathered to the great supper of God .”
