1 | Ignoring a Decision to Capitalize | Rev 14:16 | Morant61 | 149459 | ||
Greetings Kalos! The Bible Knowledge Commentary says of this verse: "John in his vision next saw seated on a white cloud one like a Son of Man wearing a crown of gold and holding a sharp sickle. Though some have identified “a Son of Man” as an angel, it is more probable that it is Christ Himself who is frequently called “the Son of Man” (cf. 1:13). In the Book of Matthew alone this title is ascribed to Christ more than 25 times (Matt. 8:20; 9:6; 11:19; 12:8, 32; 13:41; etc.). The sickle in His hand suggests judgment. And this is supported by the messages of the three angels (Rev. 14:15-20)." Personally, I do think that this verse is a reference to Christ, and to the rapture of the Church. The earth is harvested by one 'like a son of man', then angels are sent to gather the rest of the earth for wrath. I have always thought that this was an excellent picture of the rapture. :-) p.s. - Note as well that this event follows the last (7th) trumpet! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: I do appreciate hearing the other side of the matter. Thanks for your input. I'm sure I don't know for certain whether the angel is Christ. For further reasons why my quoted source interprets the passage as he does go to: www.revelationcommentary.org/14_chapter.html and read the commentary on verses 14-20. I also appreciate the fact that when you offer an alternative viewpoint, it is never "just" your opinion. You always give the reasons for your interpretation and you do it with wisdom and intelligence. Tim, consider yourself one of my trusted resources. Sincerely.
