High Priest Jesus 24

"among the lamp stands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest." (Revelation 1:13)

Jewels Used in the Breast Plate "This vestment reaches down to the feet, and sits close to the body; and has sleeves that are tied fast to the arms: it is girded to the breast a little above the elbows, by a girdle often going round, four fingers broad, but so loosely woven, that you would think it were the skin of a serpent. It is embroidered with flowers of scarlet, and purple, and blue, and fine twined linen, but the warp was nothing but fine linen. The beginning of its circumvolution is at the breast; and when it has gone often round, it is there tied, and hangs loosely there down to the ankles."¹

The Son of Man Jesus is the High Priest "par excellence." Jesus' title, "a son of man," is from the prophecy of Daniel and refers to his humanity and his earthly ministry. This was the title Jesus used exclusively for himself during his earthly ministry. Jesus took a seemingly vague title from the Old Testament and injected it with new meaning in himself. Even in the heavenly places Jesus, the great High Priest, is still carrying on his priestly work, opening the way for all people into the presence of God.
