What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Oecumenius
The angel who has the sickle, who came forth from the heavenly temple, is himself also a minister and servant of the coming end. Being heavenly and a minister of God, having come forth from the heavenly temple he is described.
Western Saints
Bede
And another angel, etc., having a sharp sickle himself. If Christ is seen as the reaper in the white cloud, who is the grape gatherer, if not the same, elegantly repeated for the dual fruit of the Church? For He who sowed the good seed in His field (Matt. XIII), also planted a vineyard in a fertile place, but both cultivations degenerated due to the negligence of the keepers.
