⚫ The seventh angel, a real angel - 1928

Rev. 17 [...] ""And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters." (Vs, 1) It seems quite probable that the angel here mentioned is the seventh angel, having charge over the pouring out of the seventh bowl, or plague. It is since the beginning of the pouring out of that plague in 1928 that the remnant of God's people have been given an understanding of this chapter. Source : 🇺🇸 1930 - Light, Vol 2, page 80 + Cover
