Church Fathers on Revelation 1:12

“And I turned, and saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks one like the Son of man.” He says that He was like Him after His victory over death, when He had ascended into the heavens, after the union in His body of the power which He received from the Father with the spirit of His glory.
