the pulling back of the earthly curtains to reveal heavenly and cosmic truths. Apocalyptic literature can include revelations about the past, present and/or future within its exposure of reality.
like God, O Jeshurun, who rides through the heavens to your help, through the skies in his majesty. (Deut. 33.26) Bless the Lord, O my soul!… He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind; he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire. (Ps 104.1-4) Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them. (Isa 19.1)
O peoples, nations, and languages, that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. The Kingdom of the Son of Man? Beyond— Fullerton Free 06 Daniel 4:34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation; Daniel 7:14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
"Son of Man" is a human figure taking on the failed vocation of all humans. He is lifted from the earthly realm into the heavenly throne room as he rides the clouds as only YHWH could. While many human figures before have tried to gain the glory, worship, and authority that belongs only to YHWH, the Son of Man is given these things. His kingdom will last forever and those who belong to God are given the inheritance of this very kingdom.
"Son of Man" is Jesus' most used title by Jesus Subtle and yet loaded with messianic imagery Title not used again in the NT letters (with the exception of Acts and Revelation)
may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” Matt. 12:8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
10 The "Son of Man" vision gets used by Jesus to ultimately reveal himself as Messiah/Christ. Paul's mission to the Gentiles means he would use titles the Gentiles would understand
Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” Jesus and the Son of Man
And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.” Jesus and the Son of Man
the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Jesus and the Son of Man
