What does Revelation 14:14 mean?

John looks heavenward and sees "one like a son of man" seated on a white cloud. This person wears a crown and carries a sickle in his hand. Some Bible teachers identify the person in John's vision as an angel, but it seems best to identify this figure as the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus is called the "the Son of Man" in Revelation 1:13 and is often identified as the Son of Man in the Gospels (Matthew 8:20; 9:6; 10:23; Mark 2:10; 9:9; 10:45; Luke 6:22; 12:40; 18:31; 21:27; John 13:31). Also, the crown on His head suggests that He is returning to earth to reign as king. Further, He holds a sickle with which to reap a harvest of the wicked for judgment. Only Jesus has the prerogative to execute judgment, as the apostle Paul told the Athenians: "[God] has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance by raising him from the dead" (Acts 17:31).
