Revelation 14:14-16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 Again I looked, and behold, [I saw] a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud [a]One resembling a Son of Man, with a crown of gold on His head and a sharp scythe (sickle) in His hand.(A)
15 And another angel came out of the temple sanctuary, calling with a mighty voice to Him Who was sitting upon the cloud, Put in Your scythe and reap, for the hour has arrived to gather the harvest, for the earth’s crop is fully ripened.(B)
16 So He Who was sitting upon the cloud swung His scythe (sickle) on the earth, and the earth’s crop was harvested.

- Revelation 14:14 There is no consensus of opinion concerning the figure resembling a “son of man.” Thus the capitals are tentatively presented as a possible interpretation. Many commentators question whether this refers to Christ.
