The Son of Man.
He revealed Himself to John who described Him for the whole of mankind. He identified Himself as “Alpha and Omega.”
John called Him “the Almighty.” Some may think this is God the Father. But the Father cannot be seen by anyone, except the two Sons, as declared by Jesus:
“And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his shape.” – (John 5: 37)
John himself clearly identified He Who spoke to him in verses 12 and 13 as the “Son of Man”, and went on to describe Him.
Except His Two Sons, Who are Part of Him, no one has ever seen, or can ever see the Almighty Father to describe! The gulf is too much! Ocean of flames!
The Son of Man Himself declared to John in Revelation 3: 5 – 6: “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
Also, the Son of Man Himself predicted His own coming in Revelation 3: 11 – 13: “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcome will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
So, it is the Son of Man, Who is the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, also called the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Truth, Who comes to judge the world.
As Christ declared, the Son of Man will guide mankind into all truths:
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.” (Matthew 24: 14).
