Revelation uses many Christological titles, such as ‘Christ’ and ‘one like a son of man’. Revelation also describes Christ in a number of ways that scholars have tried to isolate, describe and determine the background of.
My own position is that the titles and imagery employed have their origins in the OT and in the historical person of Jesus Christ. Revelation uses the various sets of titles and imageries, not because it is a patchwork composed from different sources, but because Christ is the fulfilment of all the OT promises.
