How do we know Christ is depicted as the angel in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is depicted as the angel in Revelation due to His authority and the glory that lights the earth.

The term 'angel' in Revelation is used in the broader sense of 'messenger,' and in this context, it refers to Christ Himself. In Revelation 18:1, the angel's come down from heaven and declares the truth about Babylon, demonstrating great power and illuminating the earth with His glory. Unlike any human or created angelic being, only Christ embodies the full glory of God, which confirms Him as the messenger of the covenant. His essence and authority establish Him as the true source of revelation and the one who enacts God's redemptive plan.
