The Son of Man
Revelation’s first vision presents Jesus as the Son of Man, the high priest who watches over his people – Revelation 1:9-20. Jesus is the faithful high priest who oversees the churches of Asia (Revelation 1:10-3:22), and he is the Son of Man who will return in great glory to gather and vindicate his saints. In chapters 2 and 3, he sends each of the seven congregations a letter of encouragement, correction, and promises for faithful Christians.
