In order to understand this call from 'the angel standing in the sun' we need follow a dry run that the Spirit has worked into the deliverance of Israel from the land of Egypt. The Spirit always leaves ample evidence to the intent and spiritual significance of what we call ill-advisedly as 'miracles'.
Firstly: seven plagues by the number Seven is to be understood as the Law of the Spirit has had a hand in it. The slain Lamb in the Will of God shall produce the Lamb of God in fulness of time. So the immediate purpose here is the death of the firstborn throughout the land of Egypt. Thus Moses is like a god before Pharaoh and Aaron his prophet."And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet."
The rod of Aaron is in the place of 'the finger of God' or the word of God. "And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."(Exod.7:1-5) To demonstrate 'the word of his power' in the test of wills between the two the rod is the proof. "and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent." The Egyptian magicians did in like manner with their enchantments." For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods."(Exod.7.10-12) What was the purpose of this miracle? To glorify the Lord God. Here the angel is calling the fowls in midheaven to eat the flesh of the wicked. Flesh signifies the pride of their nations, everything that they relied upon."Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men."(Ps.9.20). The angel is like the four angel in charge of Euphrates , representing the tabernacle for the sun. (Rev.9.14;Ps.1-4)
