Revelation chapter 1
V.13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto (a)Son of Man,
(b)clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a
golden (c)girdle.
(a) The Lord in relation to the earth, (Comp. App. 98 XVI) The Son of Man title,
links to His earthly ministry, when He used the same title of Himself, it did
not reach culmination, due to denial of Him by His people Israel. On this yet
future occasion, He will re-appear when Israel is all but lost, and then they
will look on "Him who they pierced," (Zech. 12:10) and will mourn Him and
recognise Him, and the Millennial reign will start.
(b) These refer to His High Priestly garments, denoting that He is taking up His
position as Priest/King of the Jews in Israel on earth. In Gen.14, there is the
remarkable and beautiful account of Abram's return from the slaughter of the
kings (many of whom were Nephilim.) He is met by the King of Salem,
(Melkizadek) with bread and wine for sustenance. In Psm. 110, Almighty
God states to Christ, who is sitting at His right hand, that He is as Melkizadek
“ for ever." This is mistranslated, and the Hebrew says "the Age." The
reading therefore is; V4, “Thou art a priest for the Age. After the order of
Melkizadek." The Age referred to is the Kingdom Age (Millennial.) The
meaning is Christ as King Priest at the time, see later chapters.
