1 | Put in Your [sic] sickle and reap? | Rev 14:15 | Ray | 110185 | ||
In thinking about the Deity of Christ, the Son of Man, what can we say about this One who sat on the cloud? Was He just one of the angels or is He the One who puts forth His sickle to reap? A companion passage is Matthew 13:36-42. From the heart, Ray |

2 | Put in Your [sic] sickle and reap? | Rev 14:15 | Emmaus | 110187 | ||
Ray, "The reaping of the harvest symbolizes the gathering of the elect in the final judgment, while the reaping and treading of the grapes symbolizes the doom of the ungodly (cf Joel 3:12-13; Isaiah 63:1-6) that will come in Rev 19:11-21." Footnote from the NAB Bible on Rev 14:14-20. See also the similar description of Christ in other places as one "looking like the Son of Man", especially Rev 1:7 and Daniel 7:13 and Acts 7:56. Emmaus |

Hi Emmaus, If one were to compare the NASB and the NKJ we could visualize the difference in how this Man is viewed. You wrote "See also the similar description of Christ in other places as one "looking like the Son of Man", especially Rev 1:7 and Daniel 7:13 and Acts 7:56. My personal choice is describing Christ as "One looking like the Son of Man". Here are comparisons of the NASB and NKJ. Revelation 1:7, 13, NASB, "and in the middle of the lampstands one like a son of man,..." Rev 1:13, NKJ, "and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man,..." Daniel 7:13, NASB, "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented to Him." Daniel 7:13, NKJ, "I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him." Acts 7:56, NASB, "and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Acts 7:56, NKJ, "and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" In Acts 7:52 the NASB talks about the coming of the Righteous One and the NKJ talks about the coming of the Just One. So in the interest of consistency and at looking at the Deity of Jesus, I would ask for a change in the NASB for Revelation 1:13 in favor of "One like a Son of Man". 1) Joel 3:17, "Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain." John 6:69, "And we have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God." Who is this One? Isaiah 63:1 From the heart, Ray |

Ray, You give away your position by the "One" in your question on Is 63:1. But this one is easy because it is a dramatic dialogue between God and the prophet and God explains that "it is I." Emmaus |

5 | Put in Your [sic] sickle and reap? | Rev 14:15 | Ray | 110216 | ||
Hi Emmaus, Yes, my position is for the Deity of Christ, the Holy One of God. How do you explain the "It is I who speak [not speaks] in righteousness, mighty to save." From the heart, Ray |

6 | Put in Your [sic] sickle and reap? | Rev 14:15 | Emmaus | 110217 | ||
Ray, I thought I indicated in my previous post that it sa is God, Yaweh to Isaiah, but a foreshadowing of Christ as seen in Rev 19:13. The Word of God is the revelation of the Father, John 1:1, 14; 1 John 2:14. Emmaus |
