John 1:51

"And he said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man‘". ESV. My emphasis.

Genesis 28:12-13

"And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth,and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, "I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac….".

What significance might there be in that in John 1:51 the angels are "on the Son of Man" but in Gen 28 "the LORD" is "above" where the angels are described as being?

Luke 9:10

"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost". ESV.

Men have a Saviour in the Son of Man. Do angels need "a ladder" to get up to heaven?

Is it significant that the angels ascend before they descend "on the Son of Man"?
