rwp Revelation:14:6
rwp@Revelation:14:6 @{Another angel} (\allon aggelon\). A new turn in the drama comes with each angel (7:2; strkjv@8:3,13; strkjv@10:1|). Here the angel is seen "flying in mid heaven" (\petomenon en mesouranmati\), while in strkjv@8:13| John heard him "flying in mid heaven" (genitive case of same participle, which see). This one is in the sight and hearing of all. {Having} (\echonta\). Accusative singular agreeing with \aggelon\ like \petomenon\ (flying), but \legn\ in verse 7| is nominative, as if a new sentence like \legn\ in strkjv@4:1|. {An eternal gospel} (\euaggelion ainion\). The only use of \euaggelion\ in John's writings, though the verb \euaggelisai\ (first aorist active infinitive epexegetical with \echonta\ like strkjv@John:16:12|) occurs here and in strkjv@10:7|. Here it is not \to euaggelion\ (the gospel), but merely a proclamation of God's eternal (\ainios\ here alone in the Apocalypse, though common in the Fourth Gospel and I John) purpose. Origen even took this "eternal gospel" to be another book to be written! Note the double use of \epi\ (with accusative after \euaggelisai\ and the genitive with \gs\). See strkjv@5:9| for the races, etc.
