Revelation 14:14

"And I looked" (Gr. kai idou) again marks a new scene and an advance to another important subject. The whole description is very similar to Daniel’s prophecy of Messiah’s second coming (Daniel 7:13-14). The cloud probably represents the glory of God, the Shekinah. The person John saw was evidently Jesus Christ, though some commentators think he was an angel in view of Revelation 14:15. This seems clear since John saw Him wearing a victor’s crown (Gr. stephanon) and holding a sharp sickle (Gr. drepanon oxy) with which He does the work of judging (cf. Mark 4:29). Since the sickle is sharp the reaper can do His work swiftly and completely. [Note: Lenski, p. 445.] "Son of Man" is a messianic title of Jesus Christ in Scripture (cf. Revelation 1:13; Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 8:20; Matthew 24:30; Matthew 26:64; John 5:27). That He receives and follows the instructions of an angel (Revelation 14:15) does not imply His inferiority to an angel. It only indicates that an angel will signal God’s proper time for judging, and then the Son will proceed to judge.
