“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.”
And in the midst of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest — the figure "like a son of man" directly invokes Daniel 7:13 and situates the vision in the stream of apocalyptic expectation. The robe and sash suggest priestly authority; the image is majestic and transcendent, not the suffering Jesus of the Gospels but the risen Christ in his glory.
