Jesus, the Son of Man Revelation 1:13–15 Excerpt An analysis of OT allusions in vv 13–15 shows that the predominant features of the Son of man are drawn from Daniel 7 and especially Daniel 10 , with other texts contributing secondarily to the depiction. Most commentators agree that the significance of this is that Christ is portrayed as a kingly and priestly figure, since the figure in the two Daniel texts has the same features.112 Part of Christ’s priestly role is to tend the lampstands. The OT priest would trim the lamps, remove the wick and old oil, refill the lamps with fresh oil, and relight those that had gone out.113 Likewise, Christ tends the ecclesial lampstands by commending, correcting, exhorting, and warning ( see chs. 2–3 ) in order to secure the churches’ fitness for service as lightbearers in a dark world.  More Beale, G.

The Greek conveys something more picturesque: “In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was face to face with God , and the Word was himself God .” Imagine, the Word , who was the preincarnate Son of God , was face to face with God . The expression “face to face” translates the Greek preposition pros (short for prosopon pros prosopon, “face to face,” a common expression in koine Greek.) The expression signifies intimate fellowship. The Father and Son enjoyed such an intimate fellowship from eternity. How they must have delighted in each other! After the Son of God became a man and began his ministry on earth, he referred to ...
