Revelation 7:2
And I saw another angel ascending from the sunrising, having a seal of [the] living God;
And Jesus said that he was sealed by God in John 6:27: Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that remains for life everlasting, which the Son of man will give YOU; for upon this one the Father, even God, has put his seal [of approval].”

Though this fifth angel is not named, all the evidence indicates that he must be the glorified Lord Jesus. In line with Jesus’ being the Archangel, he is here shown to have authority over the other angels. (1 Thessalonians 4:16; Jude 9) He ascends from the east, like “the kings from the rising of the sun”—Jehovah and his Christ—who come to execute judgment, as did kings Darius and Cyrus when they humbled ancient Babylon. (Revelation 16:12; Isaiah 45:1; Jeremiah 51:11; Daniel 5:31) This angel also resembles Jesus in that he is entrusted with sealing anointed Christians. (Ephesians 1:13, 14) Further, when the winds are unleashed, it is Jesus who leads the heavenly armies in executing judgment on the nations. (Revelation 19:11-16) Logically, then, Jesus would be the one to command that destruction of Satan’s earthly organization be held back until God’s slaves are sealed.

The Seal of God is the HOLY GHOST. Jesus was sealed by God when he was baptized, just like us Gentiles, we also have to be sealed, By the Holy Ghost. Eph. 4:30 Greive not the Holy Ghost whereby ye are sealed until the day of your redemption, Now Jesus is the angel that opens the 7 seals in Revelation, But to say that he is the angel seal. Yes & No. Because Jesus said I will pray the Father that he will send you another comfortor, Then Jesus said I will come unto you, So now we see God, working after the death & ressurrection & Jesus ascending up to heaven, we now see God working in the office as the Holy Ghost which is the comfortor. Every Christian has to be sealed by the Holy Ghost, That is our token for the rapture. For without the spirit of Christ in us, we are none of his.

Jesus is never described as an angel. The seal this verse is talking about is God's claim on His children. It's the angels job to make sure all those who believe on Jesus are sealed for God's protection

I can't say with assertion it's not Jesus, but I think you are comparing two different kinds of seals. One is a seal to keep all the information within a secret, the other is like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval lol.

Depending on what denomination you belong to, biblical references to certain angels COULD refer to Jesus. Seventh-Day Adventists believe that the archangel Michael was actually Jesus, so it's not so crazy to call Jesus an angel as some others would have you believe.

Jesus is God, second person of the Trinity. Not an angel.
