Will Jesus sit on a cloud? ~ Cross reference of Revelation 14:14 to Daniel 7:13


Revelation 14:14 states that Jesus will be sitting on a cloud with a sickle and for some reason an angel seems to give him the clearance to harvest the earth [I believe the harvest will be believers and the chaff will be non-believers].

Though revelation does not talk about it, I think they believe that the harvest will be taken up into heaven and will live with Jesus for ever.

The cross reference to Daniel 7 is missing many of the details that Revelation claims.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

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 14:14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

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.

  • Revelation claims that Jesus is sitting on the cloud when Daniel talks about the "Son of Man" / Messiah will be brought to G-d who is sitting on a throne.
  • There is no mention of any sickle in the messiah's hand.
  • There is no mention of any harvesting and separating good and bad people. On the contrary Daniel talks about the messiah being given the power to rule all the nations [both evil and good].
  • There is also a mention of "high holy ones" presumably righteous Israelites who will rule with the messiah.
    • Daniel 7:14 And He gave him dominion and glory and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and tongues shall serve him; his dominion is an eternal dominion, which will not be removed, and his kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.
    • Daniel 7:18 And the high holy ones will receive the kingdom, and they will inherit the kingdom forever and to all eternity."
