Verse 1 is found in chapter 10 of Revelation. John sees a mighty angel with a little open scroll, surrounded by cosmic signs and standing with one foot on the sea and the other on the land. The angel swears by the Creator that the announced time will reach its fulfillment when the seventh trumpet sounds. The little open scroll contrasts with the sealed scroll of chapter 5 and may indicate that part of God’s purpose is now available for revelation. The angel’s declaration emphasizes that God’s mystery is moving toward its consummation.

Und ich sah einen andern starken Engel vom Himmel herabkommen; der war mit einer Wolke bekleidet, und ein Regenbogen auf seinem Haupt und sein Antlitz wie die Sonne und Füße wie Feuersäulen,
Y vi otro ángel fuerte descender del cielo, cercado de una nube, y el arco celeste sobre su cabeza; y su rostro era como el sol, y sus pies como columnas de fuego.
Vi a otro ángel poderoso que descendía del cielo envuelto en una nube. Sobre su cabeza había un arcoíris; su rostro era como el sol, y sus pies como columnas de fuego.
Je vis un autre ange puissant, qui descendait du ciel, enveloppé d'une nuée; au-dessus de sa tête était l'arc-en-ciel, et son visage était comme le soleil, et ses pieds comme des colonnes de feu.
POI vidi un altro possente angelo, che scendeva dal cielo, intorniato d’una nuvola, sopra il capo del quale era l’arco celeste; e la sua faccia era come il sole, e i suoi piedi come colonne di fuoco;
E VI outro anjo forte, que descia do céu, vestido de uma nuvem; e por cima da sua cabeça estava o arco celeste, e o seu rosto era como o sol, e os seus pés como colunas de fogo;
我又看見另一位大力的天使從天降下,披著雲彩,頭上有彩虹,臉面像太陽,兩腳像火柱。
