Well, first read John 16:27-29 where Jesus makes clear that he was LITERALLY
with God before and would be returning to God when he went to heaven. Also
consider that God the Father has a visible shape or form according to Jesus
(John 5:37).
Stephen when stoned had a VISUAL experience of Jesus next to the Father. As
John the Apostle was in Jesus bosom at the last supper, Jesus returned to
the Father's bosom in heaven (in his own words!)

The book of Revelation reveals God giving Jesus a revelation, which Jesus
gives to angel to send to John. The angel is probably Gabriel (with the
seven candlesticks and the eyes of fire) and NOT actually Jesus. See the
exact same description of Gabriel in Daniel 10 when Daniel saw him. Verse
1:1 Confirms this. An angel was sent to John by Jesus per the Father's
direction. It all goes back to my theory that anybody in submission to God's
chain of command is the image of God. Jesus is #2 in the chain, so to speak.
