Father to Angel to Jesus
Revelation 14:14-15 I{John} saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was someone like the Son of Man. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, “Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe.”
- Who is "the Son of Man" "seated on the cloud" with "a gold crown on his head"? Could this be any other than Jesus, our Messiah?
- Why is there "another angel", were there others before? Yes, there were three previous angels in Revelation 14, each with different messages for the Earth. However, this angel had a message for Jesus.
- Where did this angel come from? He "came from the Temple" - must have been the Temple in Heaven.
- Who do you think gave this message to this angel? Could it be any other than "our Father which art in Heaven"?
- But, why would Christ's Father need to use an angel to send a message to His Son, Jesus? The common understanding today is that Father Jehovah is omnipresent -- everywhere present, but is that true? Where did Jesus say His Father was? Everywhere? Never! At least 20 times in the four Gospels, Father is always said to be "in Heaven" -- nowhere else!
- The phrase "the eyes of the Lord" is mentioned 22 time is the the KJV Bible. Some think this is a reference to angels. I plan to be working on a study of this soon. It has been said that God is omnipresent by His angels. That makes sense to me...
