Exegesis
Spatial location is supplied by the prepositional phrase en tō hēliō {ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ | en tôi hē-lí-ō}, an arresting image that places the angel in or at the sun, heightening the cosmic and public nature of the announcement.
The added prepositional phrase en mesouranēmati {ἐν μεσουρανήματι | en me-sou-ra-nē-ma-ti} further locates them “in midheaven,” the zenith of the sky, emphasizing visibility over the earth and linking to broader apocalyptic imagery of heavenly realms.
