Exegesis
The object hena angelon hestōta {ἕνα ἄγγελον ἑστῶτα | hén-a án-ge-lon hes-tô-ta} forms a tightly bound unit, where the perfect participle hestōta ‘standing’ functions attributively, specifying the posture and ongoing stance of the angel.
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 .”
