‘And when I saw him I fell at his feet as one dead.'
We can compare this with Ezekiel 1:28 where Ezekiel ‘fell on his face' before God. Here too John is seeing the ‘appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord', and is traumatised. If we really consider Him Who is seen in the vision we may well do the same. Here again Jesus Christ is paralleled with God.
