What is with Jesus and the menorah? ~ Cross reference of Revelation 1:13 to Daniel 7:13
Revelation 1:13 states that Jesus was standing among the 7 lampstands dressed majestically. What intrigues me is, the passage that is cross referenced does not have any mention of the seven candles. No major theology involved here so will leave it here.
Only point to mention here is that this chapter is full of illustrations of what G-d or heaven looks like. These are ways G-d uses to help us mortals understand G-d. This is just a vision and does not literally mean that G-d has a body, face and wears garments.
Kind of sad that Christians managed to make god a man when all the time G-d tells us we need to try be holy and imitate G-d and be more godly.

All Greek Text references are from NIV and Tanakh references are from Chabad.
My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.
G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.
Revelation 1:13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
Daniel 7:13 I saw in the visions of the night, and behold with the clouds of the heaven, one like a man was coming, and he came up to the Ancient of Days and was brought before Him.
