@Mark OnTheBlueRidge How do you know all this?,...you don't, you're just superstitious, people make stuff up all the time; this 'one who is real', and satan, ever seen either of them?,..........thought not.
@Mark OnTheBlueRidge I think you have swallowed religion, look what its done to your brain. You are simply asserting gods, demons and the supernatural, without a trace of evidence.Science has questions that can't be answered, religion has answers that can't be questioned., so what is your evidence?, without spouting bible verses that is.
Oh how we miss RC so much! God blessed us tremendously with a man such as RC Sproul. His compassionate way of explaining to people, appealing to their inner soul was very humbling, indeed. "Thank you Lord for choosing RC to reveal more of who you are, through his particular style of expression." And thank you for this VERY special Yinzer! Much love from Cali.. Amen
All of us who seek the Lord fully, these preachers/ teachers are so important because of their passion for Christ and love for others. Thank you Lord for your teachings!!
These so called preachers could be having an agenda of their own. This might help. The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'. Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.’ “He also says, ‘In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they shall be changed.

The answer would logically be one of the horses and not an elephant. Paul wrote 'To which of the angels .....' - Hebrews 1:5,13.
@@tongakhan230 Why would God say, “Let all the angels worship him” if he himself was an angel? And also: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to Himself, by him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of his cross.” ~Colossians 1:15-20 It explicitly says that he was before all things and that nothing was made except through him, including all thrones and dominions and principalities and powers. So how can Jesus be any of those things, then? And how could he be a created thing of heaven if through him all things of heaven were created?
@Moses Hillocks I didn’t skip over it. You skipped over all the rest. How can ALL things be made through Jesus and without Him nothing made that was made, visible and invisible, if He Himself was made? (John 1:1-3)
R. C. had such a marvelous gift in his manner of speaking. His delivery, cadence, enthusiasm and grasp of the scripture was truly inspiring. He had a great sense of humor and had the ability to make light of himself. Listening to R.C. was so enjoyable. The sound of his voice had a soothing effect. I love the story where he said that someone made the comment (referring to R. C.'s teaching) that "he made the scriptures come alive". R.C. responded by saying, "I can't make something come alive that's already alive." That was R. C.. He was confident but humble. He knew who he was and he understood who the Creator was; a Holy God, a Just God, a God of limitless Power, a God of Mercy and Truth.
I'm just so grateful that God decided to come down here to earth and take human form to experience everything we do and be willing to die for all of us so that we can reconciled back to Him!! Praise God 4 all Eternity!!
Brought me to tears. God has given us so much as evidence to His character through the Bible. When we're honest, we can't find any fault in it. God's word brings life.
@TooMuchOnline how does it endorse slavery? Just because it is recorded in the Bible does not mean it is supported... there are also people murdering others, people messing around with multiple wives, but God never said “ya I condone this behavior”. You have to understand the context before you make ignorant remarks.
@TooMuchOnline spoken out of pure ignorance. I'd begin how slavery really is portrayed in the Bible and outline the differences to what you've been spoon-fed, but I'm 100% sure it would be lost on you. If you actually cared about the subject, you could easily find a few articles or a book online that would give an accurate portrayal within the context of the era. It's best to do that quietly until you find a clue. 🤣 😂
(1). Yes, Jesus said he is Son of God and Son of Man. He never, never said he is God. He said that the Father is one true God; your God and my God, your father and my father. Crystal clear that his message is the oneness of God and submission to His will. (2). Jesus message is similar message of oneness of God and submission to His will, brought by Abraham, Noah, David, Moses and Muhammad pbuh.
@@sethsuleiman4419 Jesus is called Immanuel, which is translated "God with us." The prophet Isaiah (7:14) foretold His coming and we read the fulfillment of this prophecy in the book of Matthew 1:23. Jesus told the Pharisees "before Abraham was, I Am." This is the phrase God the Father used to define Himself when Moses asked who he should tell the Israelites who sent him (Exodus 3:14). The Pharisees took up stones to kill him for what they thought was blasphemy. They did not know Jesus is God who came to us in the flesh. My friend, Jesus identified as God throughout His ministry in earth and He was written about numerous times in the Old Testament. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Him (John 14:6). I pray you will know Him and put your faith in Jesus who is the only One who can save men's souls.
So you understood that garble? Just wondering. If the title Son of God denotes obedience to the Father then why were the fallen angels who mated with women and caused the Nephilim in Genesis called sons of God. I tried to follow this guy’s explanation but it just didn’t seem to hold together.

@@tongakhan230 jesus is fully human and fully God. I think you are trying to disprove that? Correct? I’m trying to understand your comment. If you are saying that Jesus was ONLY HUMAN, then your ideology makes no sense. What Bible are you reading? (serious question) I’m not sure if you are a Christian or not or how deep is your Christian theology but The entire Old Testament is full of prophecies speaking of someone who will be born (human) who is also divine. Isaiah 40:3 “prepare the way of the LORD (YAHWEH); make straight in the desert a high at for our God”. Now we ALL know that in the New Testament, John the Baptist made the way for who? Jesus Christ. So Isaiah prophesied of Jesus’s coming using the Name Yahweh (or Jehovah). We all know that the Father did not leave His throne to die on the cross for us. It was His Eternal Jesus who was sent but yet Isaiah called Him Yahweh… John 10:30 “I and the Father are one.” John 14:9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? This was no mere human Isaiah was prophesying about. Also, look at Isaiah 9:5 (my comments in parentheses) “For unto us a Child is born, (100% human Jesus) Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. (Oh- he is going to be more than a human, a ruler??) And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Bingo,He is given the title GOD) And there is plenty more scripture in the old testament prophesying of the God Man that would come. And going back to the New Testament, just look at the life of Jesus. It’s pretty clear ….. No human can be sinless, but Jesus was. No human nor mere prophet can forgive sins but Jesus did. Jesus made so many divinity claims that absolutely no angel, no human no prophet could ever and has ever made. The Bible is clear that Jesus is God who added to Himself a human nature. If you really seek truth you can look all that up on your own. The purpose of this video was not to explain the divinity of Christ but to explain the title Son of Man. If you disagreed with His divinity then there is plenty of scriptures and videos/pastors/scholars that you can look into that will confirm to you that Jesus is God. I pray the Father removes the vail from your eyes so that you may His Son for who He is. Eternal. As we know “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” -Jesus Christ in John 6:44
1 Peter 1:23b - ...the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. If the word of God dwells in you and you in the word then you too will "abide forever". This is the key to everlasting life.

In Ezekiel God used the name "son of man" to address Ezekiel, His prophet,.. at least 100 times! It was after all of that, Daniel said, "...0ne like (a) son of man..." when speaking about his vision of the second Person of the Godhead.

the short answer : “Son of Man” is a popular title for the Messiah among Israelites. The phrase came from Daniel 7:13-14 and all the Israelites in the first century knew about this passage. Jesus used “Son of Man” many times to describe himself in order to make it clear to his audiences that he is the Messiah

There is one timeless God from whom his Word and Spirit emanate into everlasting times and all time. God is outside of all types of time! Psalm 33:6, Isaiah 55:11 A Son/offspring is a container of same Life / nature ! God will be *in all* as sons ! (Those Who accept the Christ)
Sorry Irish Home but either in heaven or earth Fathers cause their offspring to begin. Fathers cause the birth of a son. Fathers also exist first. Jesus is not God because he had a beginning in heaven Rev 3:14, God "begat" him, and was his firstborn. John 3:16, Col. 1:15. Jesus likewise said at " John 6:57," Just as the living Father sent me forth and I live because of the Father........" and he said at John 5:26 "The Father has granted to son to have life in himself, (immortality). Read Proverbs 8:22--31. He has Gods nature but there is no verse that says Jesus has the same life.

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, “What do you think about the Messiah?” Whose son is he? They said to him: “Son of David.” He said to them: “How then does David in the spirit call him Lord? Saying: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. If David calls him Lord, how is he his son? But no one could answer him with a word. And from that day no one dared to ask him at all.” (Matthew 22:41-46) ..............
Daniel 7:13-14 13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve (pelach) him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed." The word "serve" used here in Dan 7:14 is the Aramaic word "pelach", which literally means to worship or pay reverence to. What's interesting is, every single time the word pelach is used in the Old Testament, it is with God as the object, never human beings. Just another really cool detail that shows that this Son of Man (Jesus Christ) is indeed totally and completely Divine, for only God can receive the worship implied by this unique word choice.
Jesus received "proskyneo" which has been translated as worship, obeisance, bow before, prostrate, Kings and High Priests received such too . Read Mat. 18:26. A slave did proskyneo before a creditor. Trinitarians in the case of Jesus want it as worship, not obeisance. As you would expect. Jared divine or divinity does not mean God. Divine is an adjective , and means Godlike.
Jared Cruz : Actually Romans 1:3-4 explains that the son of man became the son of God via the resurrection of the dead. Here's a little truth for you found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Birth Of John The Baptist It was in the days of Herod, King of Judea that a priest known as Zacharias.... And his wife Elizabeth we're found by God to be righteous and pure.... Thus keeping the Holy Law and its commandments to the letter. But they had no children, Elizabeth being barren and both well into the years of life.... Zacharias’ duty was to burn incense in the temple of the True God.... And it was at this time that an angel of the Lord appeared unto him saying: "Have no fear, Zacharias, for thy prayer has been heard and answered, for surely thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, even John, shalt thou call his name. And thou shalt have much gladness and rejoicing; for many shall welcome his birth; for John shall be great in the eyes of the Lord, and he shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink at any time; he being filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his very beginning, from his mother's womb. And for a certainty, many of the children of Israel shall he turn back to the True God of Love; for he shall be sent by HIM in the same spirit and power of Elias...To make ready a holy people prepared for the Lord.” ·· And Zacharias said unto the archangel Gabriel... "I am, old man, and my wife is old also, tell me, how is this to take place?" And Gabriel, one of the seven glories of the True God Eternal, spake unto Zacharias, informing him of his son to come. And it came to pass, after a time, that Elizabeth conceived.... Even a son as the angel foretold to be named John ...Now John in his coming manhood would be educated in the Holy Law of God, he being the promised forerunner and announcer of the holy Christ. And it was in the sixth month that the holy Gabriel was again sent by God unto a certain place of Galilee to a virgin named Mary, espoused to a man of the royal line of David, whose name was Joseph. Now Joseph was holy and pure minded, skilled in the trade of woodworking and stone masonry. And Mary was gentle and kind, with a discerning mind and humble spirit before the Lord. Both were pronounced good and holy before God; and of them was Yeshua, who is called later the Christ or Messiah. Thus Gabriel came unto Mary and said, "Behold, Mary, thou art highly favored of God, for the Motherhood of God is surely with thee; blessed art thou among women, for blessed will be the fruit of thy womb." And when Mary beheld the glorious angel of God, she was confused at his saying, and wondered what manner of salutation this should mean for her. But Gabriel understanding her mind, spake unto her saying, "Fear not, Mary, and be not troubled with your thinking, for thou hast found favour with God. For behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a holy child of the Most High, and He shall be great and shall be called a Son of the Highest Order. For a certainty the All-Eternal One shall give unto Him alone the very throne of his father David. And he shall rule over all the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end, but it shall reign in peace eternal." And Gabriel spake further unto her, "The Holy Spirit, even the Mother of Wisdom shall come upon Joseph, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, O Mary, therefore also is that holy, which shall be born of thee, even Christ, the Child of God, and his name on earth shall be called Yeshua, for it is he that shall save the people from bondage to sin, even all those repenting and obeying His Holy Laws. "Therefore, O Mary, ye shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink, for the holy child shall be consecrated unto the All- Eternal from its mother's womb, and neither animal flesh nor strong drink shall he eat or drink in any form, nor shall ever a razor touch his head." And the angel Gabriel spake further: "And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her womb, even of old age will she bring forth, this being the sixth month with her, she who was called barren. For, I say unto you, with God no thing shall ever be impossible." At that, Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it unto me according to thy holy words." And in the same day, the angel Gabriel appeared unto Joseph while he was asleep, and said unto him: "Hail, Joseph, thou art highly favored by God, for the Fatherhood of God is with thee this day. Blessed art thou among men and blessed be the fruit of thy loins." Joseph, his mind confused, wondered at these words, but Gabriel said unto him: "Fear not, Joseph, thou son of David....“For thou shalt beget a child, and thou shalt call his name Yeshua, for he alone shall save his people from bondage to sin." Now for a certainty all this was said and done that it might be fulfilled which was written in the prophets saying, "Behold a Maiden shall conceive and be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, which means 'With us is God's Son." Thus Joseph being raised from his sleep did as Gabriel had told him, and went in unto Mary, his espoused bride, and she conceived in her womb the holy one of God. Later, at the home of Elizabeth.... Mary said unto God, "My soul doth rejoice greatly in God's Son, my Savior. For thou hast regarded the humility of thy handmaiden; and, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For Thou that art mighty and powerful hast indeed done to me great things; for Holy is Thy Name and purpose, and Thy mercy is on them that respect Thee from generation to generation, even to eternity.... Thou hast exalted the humble and the meek, and hast remembered Abraham and thy seed forever." And Mary lived on with Elizabeth for three months and then returned to her own home. .
There's a lot to take in especially if you consider the Sproul's commentary on the commentary. 😇 Son, refers to one that is in obedience, or who is in accord with a greater. Man, in Son of Man, emphasizes the descending of Christ into the world that He may judge the world, whom He has authority over, If any one has a better clarification, please reply below.
@letters79587 You're right! Christ is from God, and amongst the witness over his people. Earlier prophets were all Obedient to God and Sons of Man (Adam, first), didn't gave them the authority to be called upon/worshipped. Like, David is from God in Psalm 2:7 ESV I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. David is Christ's elder brother then, literally
This is very good except the part where he says that Jesus fulfilled the role of Son of Man (as judge) when He came the first time, but Jesus Himself said that He came not to judge (John 3:17, 8:15, 12:47). Therefore, He will finish His role as Son of Man as Judge at the Second Coming and on into the Millennial Kingdom (the fulfillment of Daniel 7:13-14, 2:36-45), the conclusion of which will be the judgment of all unbelievers (Revelation 20:7-15).
@V Max I'm not confused at all. It's because I have a historical-literal-grammatical hermeneutic that I can confidently put Jesus' words into context and see no contradictions in the Scriptures.
@V Max Even if Revelation was written pre-AD 70, it doesn't change a thing. AD 70 did not meet all of the prophecies concerning the second coming. Revelation is about the second coming in which the entire world will be judged, not just the Jews in Israel. I'm not going to argue with you about it, though, because I've written two books that touch on this subject after having studied it for 20 years. I can tell, given your forceful and truncated writing, that you are adamant that your position is correct. I'm certainly not going to change my position having been fully convinced through the Scriptures. And I'm not inclined to debate with someone who seems to be looking for a fight rather than a Godly discussion.
@@carolberubee I clicked on this comment because your original comment does not tag you. R.C. Sproul did not say Jesus "fulfilled the role of Son of Man" in his first coming.

The reason Jesus told the Jews He had not come to judge the world is because the Jews thought the Messiah was to come and destroy the Gentile world. No one is trying to have a "fight" with you. V Max was not " being forceful." I am not trying to change your position. I do think your position is wrong.
@V Max Then, my apologies for assuming you were just another angry preterist looking to fight me. I can't count the times... My bad for assuming.... Please forgive me.
@Carol Berubee I concur with your initial post. I find it hard to believe that there are so many people who claim to have read the Bible but come up with different interpretations. The Bible seems to me crystal clear on this issue.
So Son of God means that Jesus is submissive towards the Father while the Son of Man is the one who will judge this world, descends and ascends to and fro Heaven?
Yes and no. Son of God also refers to God the Son. The eternal sonship of Christ. Son of Man also refers Christ as a human. Both statements have dual seemingly conflicting meanings. Both that is the mystery of the hypostatic union of Christ. Simultaneously fully God and fully man.
@@ralphgoreham3516 testimony of john the baptist, The heavens opened up and the voice said, "This is my beloved son." The Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove and went to Jesus.
@@skellingtonmeteoryballoon That just goes with the other 40 0r 50 occasions he is said to be the SON of God. That was his anointing by holy spirit . When a man or woman is anointed holy spirit comes upon them also. I assume you think this suggests a trinity. If so pehaps you would like to explain how you get three Gods to be one God from this occasion.
When Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man, He is humbling Himself not exalting Himself. He is identifying with us as human beings. This is supported in Phillipians 2:5-7, when Paul writes - " Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man , He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him..." Jesus was not exalting Himself by using the term Son of Man, He was humbling Himself by identifying as one of us.
Do you think its more of a reference to Daniel 7 and other old testament prophecies of "one like the son of a man"? I lean more towards this view. The 1st century Jews would most likely understand the term when Jesus uses it through their knowledge of the old testament prophecies. Jesus appeared to be pretty much telling them He is the one all those verses were referring to. The old testament prophecies referred to the "one like the son of man" as a most exalted mysterious figure with rulership over the whole earth. Our Lord Jesus was pretty much telling them, "I am that son of man"
@@Peter-pp2jo What you said makes sense to me as well as the previous comment from “Bible Answers”. I don’t think this video was on the right track. One thing that sticks out to me. If the title Son of God denotes obedience to the Father then why were the fallen angels who mated with women, which caused the Nephilim, called sons of God? The title son of God appears to mean they don’t have an earthly father and we’re directly created by God but does not determine whether they are obedient or disobedient. Angels whether fallen or not would fit that definition. Adam was a son of God. Yeshua is the only Begotten son of God and He is also the 2nd Adam.
If I may provide my personal two cents. We know from Genesis 6:4 it states "The sons of god came down to the daughters of men " and.. .essentially defiled the human race. Which gives us the book of enoch , and the stories of the nephilim. So... during the time of Jesus, when these stories of fallen angels mating with humans were more widely accepted... There was a need to distinguish himself from the fallen angels that came down before. What better way to do it than to appeal to the side of him that makes him one of us. A MAn. A more interesting insignt I find is via the Jealousy we see in Satan towards Mankind. And How in the bible, God often refers to men and their nations as "Virgins" or "Whores." So clearly, we can see the type of relationship God wishes to have with humanity. It is that of a husband and wife relationship. A Marriage. Where the husband goes out and makes money, the wife stays in the house, and cares for the house and the children. Here we can see if God is the husband . Man is the wife. Then Jesus is BOTH, Son of God and Son of Man. However, it is clearly up to him, by which parent he chooses to refer himself too. God marries Mankind and has a Son. Son bene ha Adam. I know its the same thing you stated. but I wanted to give you extra biblical answers lol

Jesus meant it as a reference to Daniel as he quotes the Daniel verse here: "I am," said Jesus, "and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven." (Mark 14:62)
The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'. Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.
Understanding the title “Son of Man” allows us to understand why Caiaphas tore his clothing and called Jesus a blasphemer, exhausted Jesus was claiming to be the one in Daniel 7 which can only mean He is God.
Not only the “son of man” declaration, but the whole divine imagery Jesus used, that he will come on the clouds, sitting in the right hand of the Power. The son on man vision from Daniel was identified by the Jews themselves as a vision about the messiah, so for them , when Jesus told them “I am the son of man”, they understood “ I am the messiah, the King of Israel and of everything , anointed and enthroned by God”. What Jesus told them instead, was that he was divine and he would be sitting on the Throne of God with the Father. Claiming to be the Messiah wasn’t a crime for Jews but the opposite. Claiming to be divine though, was the worst crime of all. Blasphemy worthy of death.
According to Paul in Romans 1:4. Jesus was Declared as the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead.. Jesus probably did not claim himself as the son of God, but instead refer to himself as the Son of Man because by that time in his ministry he is not yet Resurrected..Daniel's prophecy on the Son of Man foretold that in Judgement Day, Jesus will judge humanity..
At 0:28, this gentlemen is referring to the Council of Chalcedon in 451AD, which a council of the Catholic Church to oppose both Nestorianism and Monophysitism. It firmly declared that Christ had two distinct natures: one human and one divine.

The account is found at Daniel 7:13,14. An ANGEL is chosen to be the son of man. Namely, Jesus. Hence the term Son of God too (cf Job 1:6). With respect. No ne can have the best explanation. Either it is accurate or false.
@@rubiks6 : Daniel sees a vision of an event taking place in heaven. The angels bring one of their own into the presence of God. God then confers on this CHOSEN ANGEL rulership and stuff (Daniel 7:13,14). If This isn't about angels who else is WITH God in heaven? Remember Paul writing, 'To WHICH of the ANGELS did God say...' - Hebrews 1:5,13. Jesus' words may help. John 8:23 He went on to say to them: “You are from the realms below; I AM FROM THE REALMS ABOVE. You are from this world; I AM NOT FROM THIS WORLD.

Partially right. "Son of Man" as given in Daniel 7:13 is not ''Ben Adam.' You are correct. Here's what it is: בַ֥ר אֱנָ֖שׁ (H/A) "Bar -Enosh" : the second letter of the earlier Hebrew Name given here (in later Heb. form ie Aram.) as אֱנָ֖שׁ is the letter 'nun' and not samek or tsadhe as your comment would have to suggest Given the subject matter of Dan 7 and its period of writing, one would do well to draw a line straight to Enos (KJV transliteration) which is the greek form of "Enoch" from Genesis' earliest genealogies and so forth In 8:13 when the angel Gabriel is directly addressing the prophet Daniel, he calls him בֶּן־אָדָ֔ם ie Bar-Adam. Son of Adam, or as the synecdoche "Son of Man." Interesting the distinction. I wish more people would take the time to actually study these things themselves rather than relying on what others tell them. 😊

As Son of God he is saviour, as Son of Man he is God prophet, as Son of David he is king. God who is Spirit had to take the form of a man to die for us. Human nature is sinful. The conception of Jesus was through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the flesh he was fully man. In spirit he was fully God.
the guy is wrong about "son of god" being loyal to the father because the Gen6 "sons of god" defiled earth women which the Father forbid. Another example, Adam was a "son of god" but he wasn't loyal.
@@exnihilo2601 I concur with your "context" remark. Seems to me that a lot of christians seem to make theological claims based on a verse or 2, and without regard to the context surrounding the verse. It's a fallacy called "cherry picking".
@Andrê Visser Genesis 6:2 "the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. " Genesis 6:4 "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them...." So I infer that before Noah, before Seth, there were many "sons of god" who defiled human women. There were also other sons of god. Luke 3:38: "Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God". So Adam was also a son of god. And Adam defied the father by eating the forbidden fruit. So there's plenty of bible accounts that "sons of god" defied god. That means that RC Sproul claim that "son of god" is divine must be false. Sorry!
@Andrê Visser Interesting theory sir. Please expand your view. Is there any scripture indicating that "ONLY Adam" was to be son of god? If your claim is true and Adam was intended to be the "only", then can you explain why the Father created other "sons of god" described in Genesis 6? And Job 2 refers to "sons of god" who presented themselves to the LORD, along with Satan. This seems to imply that Satan is one of the "sons of god". JOhn 1:12-13 seems to indicate that Jesus gave people the right to become "children of god" which also seems to contradict your "only Adam" claim. Looks to me that there are lots and lots of sons of god.
@@baubljos103 Joe it doesnt deserve to be a theory , rather a very wayward idea. Eve not counted. The time will come when all on earth will be Gods sons and daughters. Rev 21:7

His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy. Jesus was NEVER God. But God's angelic son.
One other note of interest here, Jesus and Ezekiel are the only two people in the Bible referred to as "son of man." Also, God laid iniquities upon both of them. Jesus, "Upon Him, He laid the iniquities of us all." Ezekiel, Chapter four, the iniquity of Israel and the iniquity of Judah, each for a specific number of days to stand for a specific number of years, were laid upon Ezekiel. There was no suggestion of divinity in Ezekiel's case, just a bearing of iniquity.
Daniel called son of Man (8:17). "So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision." Num 23:19 Job 25:6 Job 35:8 Psa 8:4 Psa 80:17 Psa 144:3 Psa 146:3 Isa 51:12 Isa 56:2 Jer 49:18 Jer 49:33 Jer 50:40 Jer 51:43 all reference son of Man. www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=%22Son+of+Man%22&t=KJV#s=s_primary_0_1
None of us refer to ourselves as the son of man, yet Jesus did all through His ministry. Interestingly He is the prophesied Seed of the woman in Genesis 3, yet referenced Himself as the Son of Man except in John 5:25 where He says He is the Son of God. The Daniel reference makes sense to indeed but is there more to it? Mark 14:61-64 seals the attestation of the Son of Man being in the nature of God as that was enough reason for the highest religious figurehead in all of Israel to throw a fit, tear his robe, scream blasphemy and sentence Christ to death. In fact when He is asked,” Are you the Son of the Blessed?”, Jesus was quick to say,”I Am”
I speak through the experiences that I have had on this world and in higher regions. Jesus (Yasuah) has been my personal guide and teacher in a real sense. Every time that he appeared in a vision it was as a brother possessing human elements and the communication style of a teacher/ friend I have also been in the LIGHT/LOVE. Jesus showed us the path to true sonship by wholeheartedly choosing the WILL of GOD without any reservations or conditions. This choice should be made when you are in spirit (trance) with the conscious mind disengaged of circumvented. From that moment the untested created spirit sets upon the path to sonship ( through the narrow gate) and up the mountain that is composed of service to others NOT SERVATUDE but providing strength to those family members who are wavering. The focus of sonship must always be on selfless giving the essential nature of God. If the focus is on receiving and selfishness the service is to the deceiver dark side. It is what lies within the heart as your intention not necessarily an action. This nation has been deceived by the deception of the dark side. I was shown in a vision that there are very few willing to go through the narrow gate and the vast majority are following the golden road of deception being led by the trump.
If only those ascend to heaven who have come down from heaven, as Jesus says, then those of us who ascend to heaven have come down from heaven. A higher, divine, state of consciousness, in union with God, for the Kingdom of God and His justice is in us. That also we may have the joy and peace of God. “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” ~John 15:11 ❤️
A son of God is A son of Man and it is a title is not just any one individual alone including Jesus and any other ever identified by same title. Idolatrous doctrine has held many christians captive in focusing on making an idol god for worship out of Jesus. God gave the priests authority to forgive sin and every man to forgive his neighbour.
Good teaching, but it’s common the quote from Daniel and over used by preachers: I actually think the KEY reason Yehoshua our Lord and Father used that term is not necessarily Daniel yes it’s correct too (corroborative evidence), but is back in the Beginning in Genesis... He liked to go back to Genesis as the sharp creatives of this world the Elon Musks etc say - back to first principles (they are correct except they rely on the tree of knowledge of good and evil)...which is also in the Beginning: “And I will put eivah (kind of mixture of “animosity/envy/enmity”) between thee and HaIsha ( the Woman), and between thy zera and her Zera; it shall crush/strike thy rosh/head, and thou shalt strike His akev (heel).” Bereshis 3:15 (OJB with my adaptation) The Messiah is identifying with His ie God’s own promise! To be clear that He is not from Below (here) but from Above (Shomayim, Heaven)! Why? Because the race of Adam dies and is replaced by another race which is like the Ben HaAdam (Son of Man) which is those that are born again of water (mayim) and Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) thus we retain the likeness of Man...ie: 2 silly legs instead for 4:), and or wings😜 sorry guys...!, but a body like God, like Spirit - not limited in its presence...which can fly (ok redemption for those keen of angels wings), but not with wings but by the Spirit (ruach, wind)....! This is what Yeshua explains to Rav Nakdimon in Yochanan chapter 3! The Big Kuhana in Jerusalema! “In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Omein, omein, I say to you: unless someone is born of mayim he is not able to enter into the Malchut Hashem (Kingdom of God!) Explaining to the young generation saying “How can you enter through glass unless if you are lit🔥, dude, only Light enters through glass period, you need to be Lit🔥)! Bless you brothers and sisters! I hope this helps someone also be Lit like Me! Can’t wait to hang out with you’all and our Father for a trillion light years and then some and some...unending...!❤️🙏🔥🙌🏾

It always fascinates me when I am told that what I read in the Bible is never as simple as it sounds! That person usually goes on to make it even more complicated! Read Psalm 8 for an old testament reference to the son of man. Jesus referred to himself as the son of man and only ever once referred to himself as the son of God. To the early church he was also referred to as the servant of God.
@Willy Friedlander yes I am well aware of that fact. But it is also what the authorities accused Jesus of doing. Like him I was just quoting scripture.
What do you guys think of this below: Matthew began Jesus’ lineage with Abraham and named each father in 41 generations ending in Matthew 1:16: “And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.” Joseph descended from David through his son Solomon. Matthew’s record of the lineage is unique in the fact that four women are included: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Bathsheba was not listed by her name but rather that she had been Uriah’s wife. In the third chapter of Luke, the genealogy begins with Jesus, the son of Joseph, and follows his line back to Adam who was the first son of God. But why is Gods name not there?
Because God is a spirit being and would never have a geneology the same way as you or I. Now making a body for His Son in a similar fashion to any normal human, that is where Jesus would have a genelogy. To keep the promise given to David that he would have a descendant on the throne of Israel, that is where Jesus would have a geneology. And to prove it is a body like a human body, we take the geneology to Adam who is the first human.
Both records trace Jesus ancestry to David. Matthew through his foster father Joseph and Luke through his father in law Heli (meaning his mother Mary). This proved that Jesus was indeed the son of David as prophesied. This might also help: The Son of man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'.

why was the term jesus "the only begotten son of god" from the gospel of john chap 3 verse 16 was removed from the revised standard version of the bible?
What you should know is that the very phrase "Son of God" is in direct contraction to the phrase "God the Son." The former is explicit in the Bible; the latter is entirely absent. And there's a reason why:" Yehovah says to my lord, sit at my right hand..."
The difference simply depends upon which aspect of jesus you were to refer to or even that he was referring to when speaking of himself. There was jesus as the physical manifestation of Gods word and there is jesus the spiritual being.

“Son of man” according to humans (in Ezekiel’s case ) was simply to mean as its stated “offspring of mankind” according to the flesh I am for example a “Son of man” as we are sons and daughters of mankind But in Jesus’s case he was referring back to what Daniel saw in his vision. The one coming on the clouds I.e. his inward nature. While they’re the same title they aren’t synonymous. Note that the Pharisees knew what Jesus meant when he called himself the Son of Man, they weren’t going back to Ezekiel they were going back to Daniel. The understood the language here. The Son of Man (the spirit/eternal Christ In heaven John 3:13) is who went to the heart of the earth, not the Son of God while all at the same time this is the same Jesus just in a different nature. The Son of Man is the word of God, the power and wisdom of God and is the ARM of God who brought salvation see Isaiah 59:1 and 59:16. This is “Arm” is the “Ladder” that Jacob saw in his vision in Genesis 8:28 and confirmed to be the Son of Man in John 1:51 by Jesus himself. The Son of Man is the Christ who was before Abraham and by him (The Son) all things were made. He is the Word of God/Hand of God/God himself the actual “Son” which abideth forever The mystery of the matter is why God would have it that he decided to use the same title that would refer to mere mortals to an immortal entity such as himself. In my understanding the “Son” is the savior and the “of Man” would make him the savior of Man. The kicker is this, our inward nature is the true “Man” Jesus did not come to save our flesh but our “inward man”. I.e our eternal form. Also, You have to first understand that the “Son” in this case is not relating itself to any human but the Godhead. The Father sent his own arm(Word/Son) to save and then brought it back to himself when the work was complete. You should tune into Apostle LC Mathis. I believe he has been given revelation from God pertaining to this subject!
@@jryuwah thank you for the detailed information. I have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour more than two decades ago and yet through so many years of fasting myself thin, millions of prayers, letters written to God, studying His Word to from Genesis to Revelations more than 6 times now, requesting the assistance of His Holy Spirit, Parakletos/Ru'ach Hakodesh for spiritual interpretation and discernment so as to understand The Word by Divine Mentorship rather than mere human intellect, I still feel like a fool, a failure because I get what you're saying but there's a part of me that wishes certain titles weren't carried over into different interpretations. I've even asked God to take this part of me away so I can have more of Him. This part that wishes so much it would be written plainly. Up until today, it feels like how could Paul, Luke, Peter, Bartholomew them all speak in such poetic mystery. I keep regressing in memory to picture myself conversing with them and listening to their Wisdom and all I ever see is myself saying, "speak the way people CONVERSE NORMALLY!" And I understand that it's only revealed to those who seek, that it is plain for those who receive it through God's divinity. Which makes me feel like a complete tool. Like I've been forcing for nearly 20 years to be a Christian but others get it, they feel Him, they get Him, like you do. And I'm simply forcing to be righteous. Isn't there a reason why they're called the Chosen. Because Jesus chose them? Then I'd be selecting myself to be chosen and opposed to being selected.

To give you something to consider about the “son of man” title Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent” You see here that the word is essentially saying that God is not corrupt human flesh that lies and asks for forgiveness. The word doubles back and emphasizes that a mere mortal man is a “son of man” I hope that gives some clarity on how there is a son of man that pertains to the flesh and a “The Son of Man” that is coming on the clouds. I’m not a scholar that understands why terminology transfers to different contexts but I let the Holy Spirit open my eyes to see that if Jesus says the Son of Man is coming on the clouds then he’s not talking about a human being born of a woman. I also wanted to note that we truly don’t know to what extent the Apostles truly taught pertaining to doctrine. Like for instance, there’s no book that hones in Paul’s teaching on a particular biblical subject on a random Tuesday or Wednesday but I know for certain the apostles went into to DEEP teaching that could not be documented but still supported by the word. What the word says is God will give some apostles, deacons, pastors ect to function in the church all operating with varying levels of understanding. I can guarantee you that there were MANY church members who needed help understanding the Godhead and had to have things broken down. This is why Paul would often send letters to struggling churches things like “I can’t feed you all meat because you’re still struggling with basic doctrine therefore you all still drink milk ect..” I say Give apostle LC Mathis a try. You’re asking all the right questions. Open your Bible and follow his words and see if you can read what’s being said. As these last days continue God says the revelation will shine brighter and brighter. Last thing I will say on the subject of being saved since I don’t know you on a personal level. Have you repented of your sins and have been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ like Acts 2:38 stated? If not I’d start there! Even myself in my adult age had to go back and obey those commands because all my life I would simply tell people “I’ve excepted Jesus” but never repented of my own specific sins that I knew to repent for nor was baptized in THAT Name . and after that my understanding of who God was came open a little more. If you have, continue to seek God for understanding. Here a little, there a little. I promise you God will give you answers and you’ll be able to find those answers in the Word to confirm I’ll definitely pray for you and your walk with Jesus a Christ.
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans In Exodus, the nation of Israel is called God's firstborn son. Solomon is also called "son of God". Angels, just and pious men, and the kings of Israel are all called "sons of God."
God ADDRESSES Ezekiel as Son of Man. Ezekiel 2:1 He then said to me: “SON OF MAN, stand up on your feet that I may speak with you.” A chosen Angel is LIKENED to a Son of Man at Daniel 7:13,14. Jesus applies that term ON HIMSELF (Matthew 20:28) to identify himself as that chosen angel. Remember Paul writing: 'To WHICH of the ANGELS did God say...' - Hebrews 1:5,13. Humans too are sons of man. Psalms 8:4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind, And a son of man that you take care of him? Trust this is helpful.
Here's a simple breakdown: Son of Man - equal to mankind. Son of God - equal to God. son of man - descendant of Adam (man) sons of God (Old Testament) - angels sons of God (New Testament) - adopted believers and angels.

New testament of the bible Acts: 7:55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Acts: 7:56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” Evidence that Jesus is son of man.
Pity he reads the Daniel reference across to all instances of ‘son of man’, as it clearly doesn’t apply in most of them. Rather, the phase mostly builds on an Aramaic convention and is a circumlocution, effectively playing down Jesus identity. That’s why his use of the expression doesn’t draw controversy and conflict. Like he said at the beginning of his talk, read the scripture carefully. Good advice, though he didn’t observe it on this occasion.
The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'. Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.
In the Targum Ezekiel it is translated as Son of Adam. I find that telling since the lineage of Jesus through Mary foes all the way back to Son of Adam, Son of God. I think it might be more properly translated in the NT as Son of Adam.
Except 'Son of Adam' would definitely be less correct as a NT rendering. A'dam is used in the OT to denote the actual first man, named Adam', but also IN MORE PLACES used primarily to refer to all mankind ie all Adam's offspring. Most often this is translated in English versions as "man" or "mankind" or "humankind" Example: GEN 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. _A'dam_ is the Hebrew in all three instances of 'man' there. Son of Man in the NT is υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου which is Son of "anthropos". There is a way to write 'Adam' in the Greek but "anthropos" is not it. It is rather: Ἀδὰμ (eg Luke 3:38) Anthropos in Greek means humankind (general "man") EDIT so υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου which means son of ἀνθρώπου is rightly rendered "Son of man" Cheers
"And when he was being referred to as the Son of God, he was being referred to vis-à-vis his divine nature." (0:50) So...Adam, Israel, David, Solomon, Jesus, and many more people in the Bible are all divine? Do Christians really believe in a 3-person Godhead like they say they do? Or is it now a 7-person + Godhead?
Quite good reasoning. These charlatans want to make Jesus God without his permission. The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'. Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.
“Son of man “ is not particularly used as a call to divine nature but the phrase “ THE son of man “ is 😊you’ll see that the angel called Daniel son of man and Ezekiel was also called son of man. It’s why they reffered to Jesus as THE son of man that was prophesied about
When God (Ram) sets in the West in autumn, the dove disappears from among us, following God into the South. When God comes back from the South (Habakkuk.,3. 3) and again rises with the Sun, the dove reappears among us. Thus, it was that the dove came to be the emblem of the Sun of Man (of the earth), and also of the Holy Ghost (Sun-wind of March = S.W. monsoon), because then these three all appear at the spring equinox together; and we cannot speak of any of them without thinking of the other two. If we speak of the Son of Man we speak of the luminary which gives light to the earth: if we speak of the Holy Ghost we speak of the spring monsoon; and if we speak of the heavenly (summer) Dove we equally speak of the spring, or the mild season of the year, when the Dove is with us. God, or the Sun in Aries, the Holy Ghost, or Zephyrus, and the Dove are all one, because they come simultaneously in spring, remain with us during summer, and depart together in autumn. They constitute a trinity in unity, as the three seasons are one in the year. "The Dove caught the first rays of the dawn and the last rays of the setting Sun." (Didron's Christ. Icon., p. 439.) The six days/signs/months in Genesis one = Eve/Heaven/Female/Summer. The six nights/signs/months in Genesis one = Adam/Earth/Male/Winter. See Isaiah 47.3, where the savior sun, comes out of winter, not as a man (barren earth) but as a woman (nurture).
I'm still confused and would appreciate some help. I'm reading Ezekiel and noting that the Lord addresses the prophet Ezekiel as Son of Man as well. (And aren't all Christian men sons of God?)
Amen I was actually just looking through the comments because I wanted to ask the same thing. If it is a highly exalted title, in what manner are we to take it when it is applied to Ezekiel?
@Mozinwrath Could you be more clear? I'm trying to understand. But the simple question is, if the title "son of man" is a high and lofty title pointing to his deity, then why is Ezekiel also called "son of man"?
@Mozinwrath Thank you, Mozinwrath! I must admit though that I would like to second John Andrade's follow up. (I should also correct myself in saying that Ezekiel is "son of man" in my translation and not "Son of Man")
I'm no expert, but putting the dots together seems to bring to an interesting conclusion, analogous to one I myself have come up in other fields of life: that of the "communion" between humility and presumption. I'll try to explain myself: as RC says in the last bit of the video, Jesus is actually claiming authority, so in a way that could be called "presumption" (but remove all negative aspects of the word we culturally associate with it, I'm not a native english speaker thus I don't currently know a better word to use, so I use this one and with I simply mean the following: knowing the positive sides of the position you claim to hold, knowing it's possibilities and what good it may bring. One has to remember that this word then is dependant on the point of view, on the standards in society, and so on. On the other hand, by "humility" I mean aknowledging the negative sides that come up with the position you claim to hold, or in this context the non-exclusivity of this position). On the other hand, there's the phrase "you are the son of whom you obey" seems to imply that anybody can then be the Son of God, or the Son of Man and both at the same time: this could be called "humility" because it is an aknowledgement that you are not holding an exclusive position: as I said this facts are relative to a society which is imbued with evil and thus makes it seem like being so close to God is somehting exclusive and unaccessible, while if we all would accept "The Way of Things" we could live a better life all under God and at his side at the same time. The point in trying to surpass God is that it is useless and also a contradiction: doing that would not bring upon who tries God's Wrath, but just a series of consequences that would make it seem like that: we have a need to translate our ideas and intuitions into words, but as many phylosophers said, we can get tricked by our own words, and trapped by them. For example, by picturing God as a king, we humanize God and thus with time fall under the false sensation that God may be a tyrant enforcing his rule, and thus fall prey to a series of self-fueling actions that only achieve getting further and further from God, somewhat like falling down, or better, giving up in reaching the peak of a mountain one is trying to climb. Everything seems to point to the fact that we have the freedom of trying to get as near as God as we want, and also the freedom to sin: since all sins can be forgiven when one truly gets back on his way to God. So, as must be always remembered, God is actually there, although life situations may make it difficult to reach or see God, one can somehow always get back on the road to God. Instead, sinning is getting further from God, and that can be momentarily. Then compeltely giving up into sin is the decision of staying far from God, or worse the decision of getting further and further. And also that can always be reversed, but maybe the further from God, the harder is the way back. That is because pure evil doesn't exist, it lays there at infinity and thus however closer one tries to get to infinity, it will always be infinitely far from where one is. The reason why pure evil doesn't exist, is that evil is a synonim of destruction, and so pure evil would be pure destruction, so what is pure destruction? Nothing. Literally, not a region of space devoid of matter, but a region of pure nothing. How could one ever achieve, then, pure nothing? It's impossible, even after destroying everything, one would be met with chaos all around him, but not nothing, and still even if one managed to reach nothing, that one would need to still be there. Basically, I'm just stating with different words that the state of complete inexistance is just contradictory and thus just a word we use that doesn't describe any reality. As I said, God instead is there. And so much so that one can be there where God is too. We could say, that then one would be in harmony with everything, and thus God. Often when talking of such stuff the way our words and logic works creates rotating loops: picture a vortex in a fluid that moves forward, and that movement is reality, while still rotating in on itself, and that rotation is "fictitious". If you know some maths and physics, check out the cycloid curve for motion in a bycycle: depending on different factors, it could be that a point that is moving forward momentarily also moves backwards, seeming to loose ground. That is what happens with words, the true meaning comes through but only while also rotating almost as if repeating itself. One last thing: I think this pictures of thrones and kings is not appropriate to our current society: we now picture rulers as something that should not exist, almost like tyrants. That's probably another reason why today many misunderstand the messages of the Bible and Jusus and God. We are a bit closer to a better world then before, but with words we risk to refuse the guidelines to it! I really needed this long "exhale" of my ideas. I hope what I tried to say comes through clear enough! Please, if you don't like something, try to think about what I said with a lot of fantasy in your head, the way some words make me thing might not be the way the same words make you feel, and so it may seem we're not sharing the same idea, and instead we are. Also, with my words I'm just trying to make a picture of some of my ideas and intuitions, not absolute truths or anyting certain, so what I wrote should be read like if watching a very abstract painting, or read like if listening to a very free symphony that tries to convey certain feelings and images with its notes
Ezekiel was referred to as "Son of man" - (i.e. Adam?), over 90 times.... 'the' Son of man (Yeshua), probably means, he was the first and most righteous (perfect) person in human form? 'The', is the word that emphasises his Godly authority over men on earth? It's a little bit confusing for me, but we're here to learn.
Depending on translations, Adam or any other man is referred to as a “son of man” while Jesus is called the “Son of man” with a capital letter. But yeah I think there’s a difference between the two. Like one really refers to a normal man, the descendance of a man, while Jesus is referring to being the one the prophet Daniel saw in his vision. He is THE Son of man that was prophesied.

R. C. had such a marvelous gift in his manner of speaking. His delivery, cadence, enthusiasm and grasp of the scripture was truly inspiring. He had a great sense of humor and had the ability to make light of himself.
Listening to R.C. was so enjoyable. The sound of his voice had a soothing effect. I love the story where he said that someone made the comment (referring to R. C.'s teaching) that "he made the scriptures come alive".
R.C. responded by saying, "I can't make something come alive that's already alive."
That was R. C.. He was confident but humble. He knew who he was and he understood who the Creator was; a Holy God, a Just God, a God of limitless Power, a God of Mercy and Truth.
Well said
I'm just so grateful that God decided to come down here to earth and take human form to experience everything we do and be willing to die for all of us so that we can reconciled back to Him!! Praise God 4 all Eternity!!

@TooMuchOnline how does it endorse slavery? Just because it is recorded in the Bible does not mean it is supported... there are also people murdering others, people messing around with multiple wives, but God never said “ya I condone this behavior”. You have to understand the context before you make ignorant remarks.
@TooMuchOnline spoken out of pure ignorance. I'd begin how slavery really is portrayed in the Bible and outline the differences to what you've been spoon-fed, but I'm 100% sure it would be lost on you. If you actually cared about the subject, you could easily find a few articles or a book online that would give an accurate portrayal within the context of the era.

(1). Yes, Jesus said he is Son of God and Son of Man. He never, never said he is God. He said that the Father is one true God; your God and my God, your father and my father. Crystal clear that his message is the oneness of God and submission to His will.
(2). Jesus message is similar message of oneness of God and submission to His will, brought by Abraham, Noah, David, Moses and Muhammad pbuh.

@@tongakhan230 jesus is fully human and fully God. I think you are trying to disprove that? Correct? I’m trying to understand your comment. If you are saying that Jesus was ONLY HUMAN, then your ideology makes no sense. What Bible are you reading? (serious question) I’m not sure if you are a Christian or not or how deep is your Christian theology but
The entire Old Testament is full of prophecies speaking of someone who will be born (human) who is also divine. Isaiah 40:3 “prepare the way of the LORD (YAHWEH); make straight in the desert a high at for our God”.
Now we ALL know that in the New Testament, John the Baptist made the way for who? Jesus Christ. So Isaiah prophesied of Jesus’s coming using the Name Yahweh (or Jehovah). We all know that the Father did not leave His throne to die on the cross for us. It was His Eternal Jesus who was sent but yet Isaiah called Him Yahweh…
John 10:30
“I and the Father are one.”
John 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
This was no mere human Isaiah was prophesying about.
Also, look at Isaiah 9:5 (my comments in parentheses)
“For unto us a Child is born, (100% human Jesus)
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder. (Oh- he is going to be more than a human, a ruler??)
And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Bingo,He is given the title GOD)
And there is plenty more scripture in the old testament prophesying of the God Man that would come.
And going back to the New Testament, just look at the life of Jesus. It’s pretty clear ….. No human can be sinless, but Jesus was. No human nor mere prophet can forgive sins but Jesus did. Jesus made so many divinity claims that absolutely no angel, no human no prophet could ever and has ever made.
The Bible is clear that Jesus is God who added to Himself a human nature. If you really seek truth you can look all that up on your own.
The purpose of this video was not to explain the divinity of Christ but to explain the title Son of Man. If you disagreed with His divinity then there is plenty of scriptures and videos/pastors/scholars that you can look into that will confirm to you that Jesus is God.
I pray the Father removes the vail from your eyes so that you may His Son for who He is. Eternal. As we know

HERE is the ORIGINAL Semitic Text, PLEASE READ This
YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)

Yad - "Behold The Hand"

John 3:16????????
Isaiah 45:10 - WOE unto the one who says to the Father, what have you begotten or to a Mother, what have you brought to birth
This is probably one of the best explanations I've heard for the Son of Man vs Son of God. Praise the Lord for videos like these and those with the gift of teaching.
Enlightening lesson. Thank you Dr. Sproul.
In Ezekiel God used the name "son of man" to address Ezekiel, His prophet,.. at least 100 times! It was after all of that, Daniel said, "...0ne like (a) son of man..." when speaking about his vision of the second Person of the Godhead. The title was obviously expressing His identification with mankind, reiterated clearly by what Philippians 2 communicates. Why else was His rarely used title: Emmanuel (God with us)?
It is a beautiful thing God has done for us and to us!
I knew this before but it jumped at me anew all over again. ✝️🙏
Such a good teacher. May he rest in heavenly peace.

That is incorrect. Let’s PROVE who jesus REALLY is
In Revelation 22:16, in RED LETTERS, a DIRECT QUOTE from jesus HIMSELF:
jesus is the:
1. “offspring of David”, the “Son of Man”
2. “Morning Star”
FIRST:
1. jesus is the “Son of Man”
Here’s the PROBLEM
Numbers 23:19
YaH is NOT a MAN
YaH is NOT the SON of MAN
PROVES this jesus, the “son of MAN” is NOT YaH as YaH is NOT the “son of MAN”
PROVES this jesus, the “son of MAN” is NOT YaH’s “son” as YaH is NOT a MAN
The ONLY “son” YaH EVER CREATED was Adam and that was from the Dust of the Earth
SECOND:
2. jesus is the “MORNING STAR” and the “Morning Star”, the “Son of Dawn”, is LUCIFER (Isaiah 14)
LUCIFER, that’s IS who jesus is
@@Praise___YaH your exegeses and interpretation is so wrong. The son of man described in Daniel is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God in the flesh (John 1).
I wonder what TH-cam videos you watched for you to come to such false conclusions. The Morningstar in Isaiah and in Revelation are completely different and differently discriped.
You define Jesus by one verse? And then so totally wrong. In a Book where Jesus, the lamb, is worshipped and still you think Jesus is satan???
For your teachings you have to put the whole new testament away, even the verse you referred to.
Read the the new testament and believe what it says. And don't do no eisegeses with the name of the lord smh.
Repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ.

jesus is the “son of Man”, that is correct, HOWEVER:

That was beautifully explained-clear and concise. Dr. Sproul will surely be missed. I hope that God would raise up men like him again who would faithfully and courageously proclaim the truth of Scripture without compromise and with rigor.

Praise to the Lord Yahweh
So glad God is on TH-cam now😇
Thank you for explaining about the Son of Man .
the short answer : “Son of Man” is a popular title for the Messiah among Israelites. The phrase came from Daniel 7:13-14 and all the Israelites in the first century knew about this passage. Jesus used “Son of Man” many times to describe himself in order to make it clear to his audiences that he is the Messiah
I'll break it down nice and easy.
When talking about Jesus:
Son of Man - equal to humans.
Son of God - equal to God.
One who is a true god, is also a true teacher, is also a true parent, is also a true child , is also a true scientist, is also a true artist, is also a true judge. Ironically , if we search and replace the word, "true", with the word, "false", in the above statement, the resulting statement will still be just as true.

Sorry Irish Home but either in heaven or earth Fathers cause their offspring to begin. Fathers cause the birth of a son. Fathers also exist first. Jesus is not God because he had a beginning in heaven Rev 3:14, God "begat" him, and was his firstborn. John 3:16, Col. 1:15. Jesus likewise said at " John 6:57," Just as the living Father sent me forth and I live because of the Father........" and he said at John 5:26 "The Father has granted to son to have life in himself, (immortality). Read Proverbs 8:22--31. He has Gods nature but there is no verse that says Jesus has the same life.

It comes from a conscious mind of thoughts. It's not a Son, unless you are able to give it a body..

"He returns to the presence of God." The Pastor let the cat out of the bag here. In Daniel's vision, the Son of man is one other than God. As the Pastor explained, he is given all authority to act as judge. The Son of Man is a messianic title.
Exactly! That is why skeptic scholars like Bart Ehrman haven't a clue when he says only the gospel of John speaks of Jesus's Deity.
The difference is that Bart doesn't make stuff up; the gospels weren't even signed, and there are copies of copies of tranaslations of translations which all contradict each other.
@@timothywilliams4089 Bart has a bias, he admits it, we all do. He misses the point though that all of the gospels speak to Jesus's Deity, not just as directly as the gospel of John.
Bart also admits that copying errors or a seeming difference in a story told, changes nothing about Christian doctrine, including the resurrection of Jesus.
You should look up Peter Williams, Lydia McGrew, Mike Licona, and Gary Habermas. Different scholars not always agreeing, but they more than cover why we can rely on the gospels and the resurrection of Jesus as historical fact. God-bess

If David calls him Lord, how is he his son? But no one could answer him with a word. And from that day no one dared to ask him at all.” (Matthew 22:41-46) ..............

Thank you for increasing my understanding
Thank you, I learned.
Daniel 7:13-14
13 “I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
14 And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve (pelach) him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed."
The word "serve" used here in Dan 7:14 is the Aramaic word "pelach", which literally means to worship or pay reverence to. What's interesting is, every single time the word pelach is used in the Old Testament, it is with God as the object, never human beings. Just another really cool detail that shows that this Son of Man (Jesus Christ) is indeed totally and completely Divine, for only God can receive the worship implied by this unique word choice.
Jesus received "proskyneo" which has been translated as worship, obeisance, bow before, prostrate, Kings and High Priests received such too . Read Mat. 18:26. A slave did proskyneo before a creditor. Trinitarians in the case of Jesus want it as worship, not obeisance. As you would expect. Jared divine or divinity does not mean God. Divine is an adjective , and means Godlike.
Jared Cruz : Actually Romans 1:3-4 explains that the son of man became the son of God via the resurrection of the dead.
Here's a little truth for you found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Birth Of John The Baptist
It was in the days of Herod, King of Judea that a priest known as Zacharias.... And his wife Elizabeth we're found by God to be righteous and pure.... Thus keeping the Holy Law and its commandments to the letter. But they had no children, Elizabeth being barren and both well into the years of life.... Zacharias’ duty was to burn incense in the temple of the True God.... And it was at this time that an angel of the Lord appeared unto him saying: "Have no fear, Zacharias, for thy prayer has been heard and answered, for surely thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, even John, shalt thou call his name. And thou shalt have much gladness and rejoicing; for many shall welcome his birth; for John shall be great in the eyes of the Lord, and he shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink at any time; he being filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his very beginning, from his mother's womb. And for a certainty, many of the children of Israel shall he turn back to the True God of Love; for he shall be sent by HIM in the same spirit and power of Elias...To make ready a holy people prepared for the Lord.” ·· And Zacharias said unto the archangel Gabriel... "I am, old man, and my wife is old also, tell me, how is this to take place?" And Gabriel, one of the seven glories of the True God Eternal, spake unto Zacharias, informing him of his son to come. And it came to pass, after a time, that Elizabeth conceived.... Even a son as the angel foretold to be named John ...Now John in his coming manhood would be educated in the Holy Law of God, he being the promised forerunner and announcer of the holy Christ. And it was in the sixth month that the holy Gabriel was again sent by God unto a certain place of Galilee to a virgin named Mary, espoused to a man of the royal line of David, whose name was Joseph. Now Joseph was holy and pure minded, skilled in the trade of woodworking and stone masonry. And Mary was gentle and kind, with a discerning mind and humble spirit before the Lord. Both were pronounced good and holy before God; and of them was Yeshua, who is called later the Christ or Messiah. Thus Gabriel came unto Mary and said, "Behold, Mary, thou art highly favored of God, for the Motherhood of God is surely with thee; blessed art thou among women, for blessed will be the fruit of thy womb." And when Mary beheld the glorious angel of God, she was confused at his saying, and wondered what manner of salutation this should mean for her. But Gabriel understanding her mind, spake unto her saying, "Fear not, Mary, and be not troubled with your thinking, for thou hast found favour with God. For behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a holy child of the Most High, and He shall be great and shall be called a Son of the Highest Order. For a certainty the All-Eternal One shall give unto Him alone the very throne of his father David. And he shall rule over all the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end, but it shall reign in peace eternal." And Gabriel spake further unto her, "The Holy Spirit, even the Mother of Wisdom shall come upon Joseph, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, O Mary, therefore also is that holy, which shall be born of thee, even Christ, the Child of God, and his name on earth shall be called Yeshua, for it is he that shall save the people from bondage to sin, even all those repenting and obeying His Holy Laws. "Therefore, O Mary, ye shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink, for the holy child shall be consecrated unto the All- Eternal from its mother's womb, and neither animal flesh nor strong drink shall he eat or drink in any form, nor shall ever a razor touch his head." And the angel Gabriel spake further: "And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her womb, even of old age will she bring forth, this being the sixth month with her, she who was called barren. For, I say unto you, with God no thing shall ever be impossible." At that, Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it unto me according to thy holy words." And in the same day, the angel Gabriel appeared unto Joseph while he was asleep, and said unto him: "Hail, Joseph, thou art highly favored by God, for the Fatherhood of God is with thee this day. Blessed art thou among men and blessed be the fruit of thy loins." Joseph, his mind confused, wondered at these words, but Gabriel said unto him: "Fear not, Joseph, thou son of David....“For thou shalt beget a child, and thou shalt call his name Yeshua, for he alone shall save his people from bondage to sin." Now for a certainty all this was said and done that it might be fulfilled which was written in the prophets saying, "Behold a Maiden shall conceive and be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, which means 'With us is God's Son." Thus Joseph being raised from his sleep did as Gabriel had told him, and went in unto Mary, his espoused bride, and she conceived in her womb the holy one of God. Later, at the home of Elizabeth.... Mary said unto God, "My soul doth rejoice greatly in God's Son, my Savior. For thou hast regarded the humility of thy handmaiden; and, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For Thou that art mighty and powerful hast indeed done to me great things; for Holy is Thy Name and purpose, and Thy mercy is on them that respect Thee from generation to generation, even to eternity.... Thou hast exalted the humble and the meek, and hast remembered Abraham and thy seed forever." And Mary lived on with Elizabeth for three months and then returned to her own home.

Now i know. The creator of this majestic and immense universe was a Jew from Nazareth. Amazing
@J D nope..because he was a son of a woman.
@J D i dont want to read the bible. Nobody knows who wrote it
I dont believe Paul either. We have no proof that he saw Jesus. No proof whatsoever
There's a lot to take in especially if you consider the Sproul's commentary on the commentary. 😇
Son, refers to one that is in obedience, or who is in accord with a greater. Man, in Son of Man, emphasizes the descending of Christ into the world that He may judge the world, whom He has authority over,
If any one has a better clarification, please reply below.
@letters79587 You're right! Christ is from God, and amongst the witness over his people. Earlier prophets were all Obedient to God and Sons of Man (Adam, first), didn't gave them the authority to be called upon/worshipped.
Like, David is from God in Psalm 2:7 ESV I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
David is Christ's elder brother then, literally
This is very good except the part where he says that Jesus fulfilled the role of Son of Man (as judge) when He came the first time, but Jesus Himself said that He came not to judge (John 3:17, 8:15, 12:47). Therefore, He will finish His role as Son of Man as Judge at the Second Coming and on into the Millennial Kingdom (the fulfillment of Daniel 7:13-14, 2:36-45), the conclusion of which will be the judgment of all unbelievers (Revelation 20:7-15).
@V Max I'm not confused at all. It's because I have a historical-literal-grammatical hermeneutic that I can confidently put Jesus' words into context and see no contradictions in the Scriptures.
@V Max Even if Revelation was written pre-AD 70, it doesn't change a thing. AD 70 did not meet all of the prophecies concerning the second coming. Revelation is about the second coming in which the entire world will be judged, not just the Jews in Israel.
I'm not going to argue with you about it, though, because I've written two books that touch on this subject after having studied it for 20 years. I can tell, given your forceful and truncated writing, that you are adamant that your position is correct. I'm certainly not going to change my position having been fully convinced through the Scriptures. And I'm not inclined to debate with someone who seems to be looking for a fight rather than a Godly discussion.
@@carolberubee I clicked on this comment because your original comment does not tag you.
R.C. Sproul did not say Jesus "fulfilled the role of Son of Man" in his first coming. Son of Man is the title of Judge.....which is seen in Daniel 7. The reason Jesus told the Jews He had not come to judge the world is because the Jews thought the Messiah was to come and destroy the Gentile world.
No one is trying to have a "fight" with you. V Max was not " being forceful."
I am not trying to change your position. I do think your position is wrong.
@V Max Then, my apologies for assuming you were just another angry preterist looking to fight me. I can't count the times... My bad for assuming.... Please forgive me.
@Carol Berubee I concur with your initial post. I find it hard to believe that there are so many people who claim to have read the Bible but come up with different interpretations. The Bible seems to me crystal clear on this issue.
I have been truly enriched with this truth.
So Son of God means that Jesus is submissive towards the Father while the Son of Man is the one who will judge this world, descends and ascends to and fro Heaven?
Yes and no. Son of God also refers to God the Son. The eternal sonship of Christ. Son of Man also refers Christ as a human. Both statements have dual seemingly conflicting meanings. Both that is the mystery of the hypostatic union of Christ. Simultaneously fully God and fully man.
Do you have any verses to back this up or is it something you are assuming. Sounds like something out of a Joyce Meyer or Joel Osteen teaching.
@@Tdizzle7775 God the son---- that expression is not found in the Bible , thus is wrong. Son of God is in N.T. at least 40 times.

wow.. Praise the Lord Jesus😍😇
When Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man, He is humbling Himself not exalting Himself. He is identifying with us as human beings. This is supported in Phillipians 2:5-7, when Paul writes - " Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man , He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him..." Jesus was not exalting Himself by using the term Son of Man, He was humbling Himself by identifying as one of us.
Do you think its more of a reference to Daniel 7 and other old testament prophecies of "one like the son of a man"? I lean more towards this view. The 1st century Jews would most likely understand the term when Jesus uses it through their knowledge of the old testament prophecies. Jesus appeared to be pretty much telling them He is the one all those verses were referring to. The old testament prophecies referred to the "one like the son of man" as a most exalted mysterious figure with rulership over the whole earth. Our Lord Jesus was pretty much telling them, "I am that son of man"
@@Peter-pp2jo
What you said makes sense to me as well as the previous comment from “Bible Answers”. I don’t think this video was on the right track. One thing that sticks out to me. If the title Son of God denotes obedience to the Father then why were the fallen angels who mated with women, which caused the Nephilim, called sons of God? The title son of God appears to mean they don’t have an earthly father and we’re directly created by God but does not determine whether they are obedient or disobedient. Angels whether fallen or not would fit that definition. Adam was a son of God. Yeshua is the only Begotten son of God and He is also the 2nd Adam.
If I may provide my personal two cents.
We know from Genesis 6:4 it states "The sons of god came down to the daughters of men " and.. .essentially defiled the human race. Which gives us the book of enoch , and the stories of the nephilim. So... during the time of Jesus, when these stories of fallen angels mating with humans were more widely accepted... There was a need to distinguish himself from the fallen angels that came down before. What better way to do it than to appeal to the side of him that makes him one of us. A MAn.
A more interesting insignt I find is via the Jealousy we see in Satan towards Mankind. And How in the bible, God often refers to men and their nations as "Virgins" or "Whores." So clearly, we can see the type of relationship God wishes to have with humanity. It is that of a husband and wife relationship. A Marriage. Where the husband goes out and makes money, the wife stays in the house, and cares for the house and the children. Here we can see if God is the husband . Man is the wife. Then Jesus is BOTH, Son of God and Son of Man. However, it is clearly up to him, by which parent he chooses to refer himself too. God marries Mankind and has a Son. Son bene ha Adam.
I know its the same thing you stated. but I wanted to give you extra biblical answers lol

Jesus meant it as a reference to Daniel as he quotes the Daniel verse here:
"I am," said Jesus, "and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven." (Mark 14:62)
How can I find the full teaching that this is from?
Does RC have a book that explains this teaching?
The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16).
Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'.
Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.
Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.

Understanding the title “Son of Man” allows us to understand why Caiaphas tore his clothing and called Jesus a blasphemer, exhausted Jesus was claiming to be the one in Daniel 7 which can only mean He is God.
Not only the “son of man” declaration, but the whole divine imagery Jesus used, that he will come on the clouds, sitting in the right hand of the Power. The son on man vision from Daniel was identified by the Jews themselves as a vision about the messiah, so for them , when Jesus told them “I am the son of man”, they understood “ I am the messiah, the King of Israel and of everything , anointed and enthroned by God”. What Jesus told them instead, was that he was divine and he would be sitting on the Throne of God with the Father. Claiming to be the Messiah wasn’t a crime for Jews but the opposite. Claiming to be divine though, was the worst crime of all. Blasphemy worthy of death.
@@nikostheater He was telling the truth though 😊
@@nikostheater I completely agree.
Matt24:4-5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Annointed,’ and will deceive many.

According to Paul in Romans 1:4. Jesus was Declared as the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead.. Jesus probably did not claim himself as the son of God, but instead refer to himself as the Son of Man because by that time in his ministry he is not yet Resurrected..Daniel's prophecy on the Son of Man foretold that in Judgement Day, Jesus will judge humanity..

With respect. No ne can have the best explanation. Either it is accurate or false.
@@tongakhan230 - There is no mention of any angel in Daniel 7. Sorry. It's just not there.
@@rubiks6 : Daniel sees a vision of an event taking place in heaven.
The angels bring one of their own into the presence of God. God then confers on this CHOSEN ANGEL rulership and stuff (Daniel 7:13,14).
If This isn't about angels who else is WITH God in heaven?
Remember Paul writing,
'To WHICH of the ANGELS did God say...' - Hebrews 1:5,13.
Jesus' words may help.
John 8:23 He went on to say to them: “You are from the realms below; I AM FROM THE REALMS ABOVE. You are from this world; I AM NOT FROM THIS WORLD.

Actually, in Hebrew, Daniel does not say "ben Adam", but "ben asash"...Son of mortal. and some of the verb ending are feminine...
The comment above was interpreted by the same person that says the following about herself on one of her TH-cam videos:
""Talk about male stalkers..Ithis incident occured in mid-March, 2019. I homeless for more than eighteen months because I was a whistle-blower who was blackballed and then went through retaliation for over 8 years, when they did much of this. Then, for the next five months the stalkers came in person and out of the woodwork. All homosexual or transgender men who had not transitioned. They were all in drag, like Fiona Hill. All of them were giving advice on how women should behave, how to behave better... They told me what their pregnancies were like. These are real messages. I put them on You Tube. Several of them were Jewish, like Allen. All were occultist. They tried persuasion using psychology, theology, Cabalism; some sent spells and curses. They stole and they broke into my car to take my compter and the case I was working on. I have gone so many times to Law Enforcement, FBI, FCHR, OIG, unions. I have these cases. It is incredible. I am denied protection under the law, constantly.
They went after me in person. The "in person" stalking did not stop until mid- June 2019. In 2018, after I had given my documents to the Catholic Church/Clergy, which I had sent to the Russian Embassy, explaining my offer for a three year moratorium during which time no one, either clergy, politician, or regular person, would be prosecuted if they repented, came out with what was happening, made restitutions, and changed. They went after me. They refuse to discuss the real Adam an Garden story and now I understand why. The prophesy and discussion of their Thracian.Dacian Dragon roots which is found in prophesy which go back to the garden story and the Books of Daniel, Mica, and Isaiah."
Partially right. "Son of Man" as given in Daniel 7:13 is not ''Ben Adam.' You are correct.
Here's what it is: בַ֥ר אֱנָ֖שׁ (H/A)
"Bar -Enosh" : the second letter of the earlier Hebrew Name given here (in later Heb. form ie Aram.) as אֱנָ֖שׁ is the letter 'nun' and not samek or tsadhe as your comment would have to suggest
Given the subject matter of Dan 7 and its period of writing, one would do well to draw a line straight to Enos (KJV transliteration) which is the greek form of "Enoch" from Genesis' earliest genealogies and so forth
In 8:13 when the angel Gabriel is directly addressing the prophet Daniel, he calls him בֶּן־אָדָ֔ם ie Bar-Adam. Son of Adam, or as the synecdoche "Son of Man."
Interesting the distinction.
I wish more people would take the time to actually study these things themselves rather than relying on what others tell them. 😊

@@westerncivilsation7514 I did consider your point about being rude by the way..and thanks for bringing it to me...you're right...I was rude and I do apologize to the woman that wrote the post I replied to. I wasn't attacking her for the record, but do stand on the point that her comment that is seeking to alter what the Bible does say is very wrong and coming from a perspective very different than a casual observer of her comment would realize is happening.
As Son of God he is saviour, as Son of Man he is God prophet, as Son of David he is king. God who is Spirit had to take the form of a man to die for us. Human nature is sinful. The conception of Jesus was through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the flesh he was fully man. In spirit he was fully God.
No he never has been God at all. John 17:3 1 Cor 8:6, 11:3
the guy is wrong about "son of god" being loyal to the father because the Gen6 "sons of god" defiled earth women which the Father forbid. Another example, Adam was a "son of god" but he wasn't loyal.
Context is essential when understanding the Bible.
No master here, just saying.
@@exnihilo2601 I concur with your "context" remark. Seems to me that a lot of christians seem to make theological claims based on a verse or 2, and without regard to the context surrounding the verse. It's a fallacy called "cherry picking".
@Andrê Visser Genesis 6:2 "the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. "
Genesis 6:4 "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them...."
So I infer that before Noah, before Seth, there were many "sons of god" who defiled human women.
There were also other sons of god. Luke 3:38: "Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God".
So Adam was also a son of god. And Adam defied the father by eating the forbidden fruit.
So there's plenty of bible accounts that "sons of god" defied god. That means that RC Sproul claim that "son of god" is divine must be false.
Sorry!
@Andrê Visser Interesting theory sir. Please expand your view. Is there any scripture indicating that "ONLY Adam" was to be son of god?
If your claim is true and Adam was intended to be the "only", then can you explain why the Father created other "sons of god" described in Genesis 6?
And Job 2 refers to "sons of god" who presented themselves to the LORD, along with Satan. This seems to imply that Satan is one of the "sons of god".
JOhn 1:12-13 seems to indicate that Jesus gave people the right to become "children of god" which also seems to contradict your "only Adam" claim.
Looks to me that there are lots and lots of sons of god.
@@baubljos103 Joe it doesnt deserve to be a theory , rather a very wayward idea. Eve not counted. The time will come when all on earth will be Gods sons and daughters. Rev 21:7

Thank you very much. I've often wondered and searched, but this is the first time anyone has really explained it.
The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16).
Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'.
Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.
Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.
Jesus was NEVER God. But God's angelic son.
The name Adam in hebrew means MAN. Son of MAN, Son of Adam. Much easier to understand than this guy's explanation.
One other note of interest here, Jesus and Ezekiel are the only two people in the Bible referred to as "son of man." Also, God laid iniquities upon both of them. Jesus, "Upon Him, He laid the iniquities of us all." Ezekiel, Chapter four, the iniquity of Israel and the iniquity of Judah, each for a specific number of days to stand for a specific number of years, were laid upon Ezekiel. There was no suggestion of divinity in Ezekiel's case, just a bearing of iniquity.
Daniel called son of Man (8:17). "So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision." Num 23:19 Job 25:6 Job 35:8 Psa 8:4 Psa 80:17 Psa 144:3 Psa 146:3 Isa 51:12 Isa 56:2 Jer 49:18 Jer 49:33 Jer 50:40 Jer 51:43 all reference son of Man.

None of us refer to ourselves as the son of man, yet Jesus did all through His ministry. Interestingly He is the prophesied Seed of the woman in Genesis 3, yet referenced Himself as the Son of Man except in John 5:25 where He says He is the Son of God. The Daniel reference makes sense to indeed but is there more to it? Mark 14:61-64 seals the attestation of the Son of Man being in the nature of God as that was enough reason for the highest religious figurehead in all of Israel to throw a fit, tear his robe, scream blasphemy and sentence Christ to death. In fact when He is asked,” Are you the Son of the Blessed?”, Jesus was quick to say,”I Am”
I speak through the experiences that I have had on this world and in higher regions. Jesus (Yasuah) has been my personal guide and teacher in a real sense. Every time that he appeared in a vision it was as a brother possessing human elements and the communication style of a teacher/ friend I have also been in the LIGHT/LOVE. Jesus showed us the path to true sonship by wholeheartedly choosing the WILL of GOD without any reservations or conditions. This choice should be made when you are in spirit (trance) with the conscious mind disengaged of circumvented. From that moment the untested created spirit sets upon the path to sonship ( through the narrow gate) and up the mountain that is composed of service to others NOT SERVATUDE but providing strength to those family members who are wavering. The focus of sonship must always be on selfless giving the essential nature of God. If the focus is on receiving and selfishness the service is to the deceiver dark side. It is what lies within the heart as your intention not necessarily an action. This nation has been deceived by the deception of the dark side. I was shown in a vision that there are very few willing to go through the narrow gate and the vast majority are following the golden road of deception being led by the trump.
Amen this is so profound so me so important for my ministry
What a study! Thanks for this light.
If only those ascend to heaven who have come down from heaven, as Jesus says, then those of us who ascend to heaven have come down from heaven.
A higher, divine, state of consciousness, in union with God, for the Kingdom of God and His justice is in us. That also we may have the joy and peace of God.
“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” ~John 15:11

Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the LORD 🙏
A son of God is A son of Man and it is a title is not just any one individual alone including Jesus and any other ever identified by same title.
Idolatrous doctrine has held many christians captive in focusing on making an idol god for worship out of Jesus.
God gave the priests authority to forgive sin and every man to forgive his neighbour.
Good teaching, but it’s common the quote from Daniel and over used by preachers: I actually think the KEY reason Yehoshua our Lord and Father used that term is not necessarily Daniel yes it’s correct too (corroborative evidence), but is back in the Beginning in Genesis... He liked to go back to Genesis as the sharp creatives of this world the Elon Musks etc say - back to first principles (they are correct except they rely on the tree of knowledge of good and evil)...which is also in the Beginning:
“And I will put eivah (kind of mixture of “animosity/envy/enmity”) between thee and HaIsha ( the Woman), and between thy zera and her Zera; it shall crush/strike thy rosh/head, and thou shalt strike His akev (heel).”
Bereshis 3:15 (OJB with my adaptation)
The Messiah is identifying with His ie God’s own promise! To be clear that He is not from Below (here) but from Above (Shomayim, Heaven)! Why? Because the race of Adam dies and is replaced by another race which is like the Ben HaAdam (Son of Man) which is those that are born again of water (mayim) and Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) thus we retain the likeness of Man...ie: 2 silly legs instead for 4:), and or wings😜 sorry guys...!, but a body like God, like Spirit - not limited in its presence...which can fly (ok redemption for those keen of angels wings), but not with wings but by the Spirit (ruach, wind)....! This is what Yeshua explains to Rav Nakdimon in Yochanan chapter 3! The Big Kuhana in Jerusalema!
“In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Omein, omein, I say to you: unless someone is born of mayim he is not able to enter into the Malchut Hashem (Kingdom of God!)
Explaining to the young generation saying “How can you enter through glass unless if you are lit🔥, dude, only Light enters through glass period, you need to be Lit🔥)!
Bless you brothers and sisters! I hope this helps someone also be Lit like Me! Can’t wait to hang out with you’all and our Father for a trillion light years and then some and some...unending...!❤️🙏🔥🙌🏾

It always fascinates me when I am told that what I read in the Bible is never as simple as it sounds! That person usually goes on to make it even more complicated! Read Psalm 8 for an old testament reference to the son of man. Jesus referred to himself as the son of man and only ever once referred to himself as the son of God. To the early church he was also referred to as the servant of God.
@Willy Friedlander yes I am well aware of that fact. But it is also what the authorities accused Jesus of doing. Like him I was just quoting scripture.
What do you guys think of this below:
Matthew began Jesus’ lineage with Abraham and named each father in 41 generations ending in Matthew 1:16: “And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.” Joseph descended from David through his son Solomon. Matthew’s record of the lineage is unique in the fact that four women are included: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Bathsheba was not listed by her name but rather that she had been Uriah’s wife.
In the third chapter of Luke, the genealogy begins with Jesus, the son of Joseph, and follows his line back to Adam who was the first son of God.
But why is Gods name not there?
Because God is a spirit being and would never have a geneology the same way as you or I. Now making a body for His Son in a similar fashion to any normal human, that is where Jesus would have a genelogy. To keep the promise given to David that he would have a descendant on the throne of Israel, that is where Jesus would have a geneology. And to prove it is a body like a human body, we take the geneology to Adam who is the first human.
Both records trace Jesus ancestry to David. Matthew through his foster father Joseph and Luke through his father in law Heli (meaning his mother Mary). This proved that Jesus was indeed the son of David as prophesied.
This might also help:
The Son of man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16).

God had no son god create Adam as also without father or mother there is no other god except one allah allah have no partner Mohammad esha as prophet messenger of allah so pray to allah not jesus beleive in akhirat after the dead judgement day ok accept islam
why was the term jesus "the only begotten son of god" from the gospel of john chap 3 verse 16 was removed from the revised standard version of the bible?
What you should know is that the very phrase "Son of God" is in direct contraction to the phrase "God the Son." The former is explicit in the Bible; the latter is entirely absent. And there's a reason why:" Yehovah says to my lord, sit at my right hand..."
The difference simply depends upon which aspect of jesus you were to refer to or even that he was referring to when speaking of himself. There was jesus as the physical manifestation of Gods word and there is jesus the spiritual being.
John 1:12 King James Version 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Mathew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Was was Ezekiel given the title, Son of Man, over and over and over. I thought it's exclusively to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Any help?
“Son of man” according to humans (in Ezekiel’s case ) was simply to mean as its stated “offspring of mankind” according to the flesh
I am for example a “Son of man” as we are sons and daughters of mankind
But in Jesus’s case he was referring back to what Daniel saw in his vision. The one coming on the clouds I.e. his inward nature.
While they’re the same title they aren’t synonymous. Note that the Pharisees knew what Jesus meant when he called himself the Son of Man, they weren’t going back to Ezekiel they were going back to Daniel. The understood the language here.
The Son of Man (the spirit/eternal Christ In heaven John 3:13) is who went to the heart of the earth, not the Son of God while all at the same time this is the same Jesus just in a different nature.
The Son of Man is the word of God, the power and wisdom of God and is the ARM of God who brought salvation see Isaiah 59:1 and 59:16.
This is “Arm” is the “Ladder” that Jacob saw in his vision in Genesis 8:28 and confirmed to be the Son of Man in John 1:51 by Jesus himself.
The Son of Man is the Christ who was before Abraham and by him (The Son) all things were made. He is the Word of God/Hand of God/God himself the actual “Son” which abideth forever
The mystery of the matter is why God would have it that he decided to use the same title that would refer to mere mortals to an immortal entity such as himself. In my understanding the “Son” is the savior and the “of Man” would make him the savior of Man.
The kicker is this, our inward nature is the true “Man”
Jesus did not come to save our flesh but our “inward man”. I.e our eternal form.
Also,
You have to first understand that the “Son” in this case is not relating itself to any human but the Godhead. The Father sent his own arm(Word/Son) to save and then brought it back to himself when the work was complete.
You should tune into Apostle LC Mathis. I believe he has been given revelation from God pertaining to this subject!
@@jryuwah thank you for the detailed information. I have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour more than two decades ago and yet through so many years of fasting myself thin, millions of prayers, letters written to God, studying His Word to from Genesis to Revelations more than 6 times now, requesting the assistance of His Holy Spirit, Parakletos/Ru'ach Hakodesh for spiritual interpretation and discernment so as to understand The Word by Divine Mentorship rather than mere human intellect, I still feel like a fool, a failure because I get what you're saying but there's a part of me that wishes certain titles weren't carried over into different interpretations. I've even asked God to take this part of me away so I can have more of Him. This part that wishes so much it would be written plainly. Up until today, it feels like how could Paul, Luke, Peter, Bartholomew them all speak in such poetic mystery. I keep regressing in memory to picture myself conversing with them and listening to their Wisdom and all I ever see is myself saying, "speak the way people CONVERSE NORMALLY!" And I understand that it's only revealed to those who seek, that it is plain for those who receive it through God's divinity. Which makes me feel like a complete tool. Like I've been forcing for nearly 20 years to be a Christian but others get it, they feel Him, they get Him, like you do. And I'm simply forcing to be righteous. Isn't there a reason why they're called the Chosen. Because Jesus chose them? Then I'd be selecting myself to be chosen and opposed to being selected.

Of course my friend.
The book of Isaiah says this
“For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:”
No one ever gets the full understanding in one day it takes years sometimes. Im about to be 29 and I’m still getting understanding. But I hold true to the word that He that hungers and thirsts after righteousness will be saved. I believe that in your thirst for truth God will continue to give you understanding.
To give you something to consider about the “son of man” title
Numbers 23:19
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent”
You see here that the word is essentially saying that God is not corrupt human flesh that lies and asks for forgiveness. The word doubles back and emphasizes that a mere mortal man is a “son of man”
I hope that gives some clarity on how there is a son of man that pertains to the flesh and a “The Son of Man” that is coming on the clouds. I’m not a scholar that understands why terminology transfers to different contexts but I let the Holy Spirit open my eyes to see that if Jesus says the Son of Man is coming on the clouds then he’s not talking about a human being born of a woman.
I also wanted to note that we truly don’t know to what extent the Apostles truly taught pertaining to doctrine. Like for instance, there’s no book that hones in Paul’s teaching on a particular biblical subject on a random Tuesday or Wednesday but I know for certain the apostles went into to DEEP teaching that could not be documented but still supported by the word. What the word says is God will give some apostles, deacons, pastors ect to function in the church all operating with varying levels of understanding.
I can guarantee you that there were MANY church members who needed help understanding the Godhead and had to have things broken down. This is why Paul would often send letters to struggling churches things like “I can’t feed you all meat because you’re still struggling with basic doctrine therefore you all still drink milk ect..”
I say Give apostle LC Mathis a try. You’re asking all the right questions. Open your Bible and follow his words and see if you can read what’s being said. As these last days continue God says the revelation will shine brighter and brighter.
Last thing I will say on the subject of being saved since I don’t know you on a personal level.
Have you repented of your sins and have been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ like Acts 2:38 stated? If not I’d start there! Even myself in my adult age had to go back and obey those commands because all my life I would simply tell people “I’ve excepted Jesus” but never repented of my own specific sins that I knew to repent for nor was baptized in THAT Name . and after that my understanding of who God was came open a little more.
If you have, continue to seek God for understanding. Here a little, there a little. I promise you God will give you answers and you’ll be able to find those answers in the Word to confirm
I’ll definitely pray for you and your walk with Jesus a Christ.
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans
In Exodus, the nation of Israel is called God's firstborn son. Solomon is also called "son of God". Angels, just and pious men, and the kings of Israel are all called "sons of God."
God ADDRESSES Ezekiel as Son of Man.
Ezekiel 2:1 He then said to me: “SON OF MAN, stand up on your feet that I may speak with you.”
A chosen Angel is LIKENED to a Son of Man at Daniel 7:13,14.
Jesus applies that term ON HIMSELF (Matthew 20:28) to identify himself as that chosen angel.
Remember Paul writing:
'To WHICH of the ANGELS did God say...' - Hebrews 1:5,13.
Humans too are sons of man.
Psalms 8:4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind, And a son of man that you take care of him?
Trust this is helpful.
Wasn't Ezekiel also referred to as son of man, multiple times? Is Ezekiel also the lord of the Sabbath? Please explain. I am confused.
Here's a simple breakdown:
Son of Man - equal to mankind.
Son of God - equal to God.
son of man - descendant of Adam (man)
sons of God (Old Testament) - angels
sons of God (New Testament) - adopted believers and angels.

New testament of the bible
Acts: 7:55
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Acts: 7:56
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Evidence that Jesus is son of man.
Pity he reads the Daniel reference across to all instances of ‘son of man’, as it clearly doesn’t apply in most of them. Rather, the phase mostly builds on an Aramaic convention and is a circumlocution, effectively playing down Jesus identity. That’s why his use of the expression doesn’t draw controversy and conflict. Like he said at the beginning of his talk, read the scripture carefully. Good advice, though he didn’t observe it on this occasion.
I have been wondering about this for years!

His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.
Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.
In the Targum Ezekiel it is translated as Son of Adam. I find that telling since the lineage of Jesus through Mary foes all the way back to Son of Adam, Son of God.
I think it might be more properly translated in the NT as Son of Adam.
Except 'Son of Adam' would definitely be less correct as a NT rendering.
A'dam is used in the OT to denote the actual first man, named Adam', but also IN MORE PLACES used primarily to refer to all mankind ie all Adam's offspring. Most often this is translated in English versions as "man" or "mankind" or "humankind"
Example:
GEN 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
_A'dam_ is the Hebrew in all three instances of 'man' there.
Son of Man in the NT is υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου which is Son of "anthropos". There is a way to write 'Adam' in the Greek but "anthropos" is not it. It is rather: Ἀδὰμ (eg Luke 3:38)
Anthropos in Greek means humankind (general "man") EDIT so υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου which means son of ἀνθρώπου is rightly rendered "Son of man"

This man is a true prophet
"And when he was being referred to as the Son of God, he was being referred to vis-à-vis his divine nature." (0:50)
So...Adam, Israel, David, Solomon, Jesus, and many more people in the Bible are all divine?
Do Christians really believe in a 3-person Godhead like they say they do? Or is it now a 7-person + Godhead?
Quite good reasoning. These charlatans want to make Jesus God without his permission.
The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16).
Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'.
Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.
Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.
“Son of man “ is not particularly used as a call to divine nature but the phrase “ THE son of man “ is 😊you’ll see that the angel called Daniel son of man and Ezekiel was also called son of man. It’s why they reffered to Jesus as THE son of man that was prophesied about
When God (Ram) sets in the West in autumn, the dove disappears from among us, following God into the South. When God comes back from the South (Habakkuk.,3. 3) and again rises with the Sun, the dove reappears among us. Thus, it was that the dove came to be the emblem of the Sun of Man (of the earth), and also of the Holy Ghost (Sun-wind of March = S.W. monsoon), because then these three all appear at the spring equinox together; and we cannot speak of any of them without thinking of the other two. If we speak of the Son of Man we speak of the luminary which gives light to the earth: if we speak of the Holy Ghost we speak of the spring monsoon; and if we speak of the heavenly (summer) Dove we equally speak of the spring, or the mild season of the year, when the Dove is with us. God, or the Sun in Aries, the Holy Ghost, or Zephyrus, and the Dove are all one, because they come simultaneously in spring, remain with us during summer, and depart together in autumn. They constitute a trinity in unity, as the three seasons are one in the year. "The Dove caught the first rays of the dawn and the last rays of the setting Sun." (Didron's Christ. Icon., p. 439.)
The six days/signs/months in Genesis one = Eve/Heaven/Female/Summer.
The six nights/signs/months in Genesis one = Adam/Earth/Male/Winter.
See Isaiah 47.3, where the savior sun, comes out of winter, not as a man (barren earth) but as a woman (nurture).
Thank you brother for heartful message
I'm still confused and would appreciate some help. I'm reading Ezekiel and noting that the Lord addresses the prophet Ezekiel as Son of Man as well. (And aren't all Christian men sons of God?)
Amen I was actually just looking through the comments because I wanted to ask the same thing. If it is a highly exalted title, in what manner are we to take it when it is applied to Ezekiel?
@Mozinwrath Could you be more clear? I'm trying to understand. But the simple question is, if the title "son of man" is a high and lofty title pointing to his deity, then why is Ezekiel also called "son of man"?
@Mozinwrath Thank you, Mozinwrath! I must admit though that I would like to second John Andrade's follow up.
(I should also correct myself in saying that Ezekiel is "son of man" in my translation and not "Son of Man")
Yes I agree with the 7 replies, On earth he was just a perfect "man". He himself made that clear at John 8: 40. Also Paul at Romans 5:15, 1 Tum 2:5

I'm no expert, but putting the dots together seems to bring to an interesting conclusion, analogous to one I myself have come up in other fields of life: that of the "communion" between humility and presumption.
I'll try to explain myself: as RC says in the last bit of the video, Jesus is actually claiming authority, so in a way that could be called "presumption" (but remove all negative aspects of the word we culturally associate with it, I'm not a native english speaker thus I don't currently know a better word to use, so I use this one and with I simply mean the following: knowing the positive sides of the position you claim to hold, knowing it's possibilities and what good it may bring. One has to remember that this word then is dependant on the point of view, on the standards in society, and so on. On the other hand, by "humility" I mean aknowledging the negative sides that come up with the position you claim to hold, or in this context the non-exclusivity of this position).
On the other hand, there's the phrase "you are the son of whom you obey" seems to imply that anybody can then be the Son of God, or the Son of Man and both at the same time: this could be called "humility" because it is an aknowledgement that you are not holding an exclusive position: as I said this facts are relative to a society which is imbued with evil and thus makes it seem like being so close to God is somehting exclusive and unaccessible, while if we all would accept "The Way of Things" we could live a better life all under God and at his side at the same time.
The point in trying to surpass God is that it is useless and also a contradiction: doing that would not bring upon who tries God's Wrath, but just a series of consequences that would make it seem like that: we have a need to translate our ideas and intuitions into words, but as many phylosophers said, we can get tricked by our own words, and trapped by them. For example, by picturing God as a king, we humanize God and thus with time fall under the false sensation that God may be a tyrant enforcing his rule, and thus fall prey to a series of self-fueling actions that only achieve getting further and further from God, somewhat like falling down, or better, giving up in reaching the peak of a mountain one is trying to climb.
Everything seems to point to the fact that we have the freedom of trying to get as near as God as we want, and also the freedom to sin: since all sins can be forgiven when one truly gets back on his way to God. So, as must be always remembered, God is actually there, although life situations may make it difficult to reach or see God, one can somehow always get back on the road to God. Instead, sinning is getting further from God, and that can be momentarily. Then compeltely giving up into sin is the decision of staying far from God, or worse the decision of getting further and further. And also that can always be reversed, but maybe the further from God, the harder is the way back. That is because pure evil doesn't exist, it lays there at infinity and thus however closer one tries to get to infinity, it will always be infinitely far from where one is.
The reason why pure evil doesn't exist, is that evil is a synonim of destruction, and so pure evil would be pure destruction, so what is pure destruction? Nothing. Literally, not a region of space devoid of matter, but a region of pure nothing. How could one ever achieve, then, pure nothing? It's impossible, even after destroying everything, one would be met with chaos all around him, but not nothing, and still even if one managed to reach nothing, that one would need to still be there. Basically, I'm just stating with different words that the state of complete inexistance is just contradictory and thus just a word we use that doesn't describe any reality.
As I said, God instead is there. And so much so that one can be there where God is too. We could say, that then one would be in harmony with everything, and thus God.
Often when talking of such stuff the way our words and logic works creates rotating loops: picture a vortex in a fluid that moves forward, and that movement is reality, while still rotating in on itself, and that rotation is "fictitious". If you know some maths and physics, check out the cycloid curve for motion in a bycycle: depending on different factors, it could be that a point that is moving forward momentarily also moves backwards, seeming to loose ground. That is what happens with words, the true meaning comes through but only while also rotating almost as if repeating itself.
One last thing: I think this pictures of thrones and kings is not appropriate to our current society: we now picture rulers as something that should not exist, almost like tyrants. That's probably another reason why today many misunderstand the messages of the Bible and Jusus and God. We are a bit closer to a better world then before, but with words we risk to refuse the guidelines to it!
I really needed this long "exhale" of my ideas. I hope what I tried to say comes through clear enough!
Please, if you don't like something, try to think about what I said with a lot of fantasy in your head, the way some words make me thing might not be the way the same words make you feel, and so it may seem we're not sharing the same idea, and instead we are. Also, with my words I'm just trying to make a picture of some of my ideas and intuitions, not absolute truths or anyting certain, so what I wrote should be read like if watching a very abstract painting, or read like if listening to a very free symphony that tries to convey certain feelings and images with its notes
Ezekiel was referred to as "Son of man" - (i.e. Adam?), over 90 times.... 'the' Son of man (Yeshua), probably means, he was the first and most righteous (perfect) person in human form? 'The', is the word that emphasises his Godly authority over men on earth? It's a little bit confusing for me, but we're here to learn.
Depending on translations, Adam or any other man is referred to as a “son of man” while Jesus is called the “Son of man” with a capital letter. But yeah I think there’s a difference between the two. Like one really refers to a normal man, the descendance of a man, while Jesus is referring to being the one the prophet Daniel saw in his vision. He is THE Son of man that was prophesied.
@@mikellaaa I dont think Daniel 7:13-14 are talking about Christ Himself, but about His Saints (LIKE THE SON OF MAN). See 7:27 in the interpretation of the vision.
@@mikellaaa No Get an Hebrew Interlinear. Dan 7:13 says "someone LIKE a son of man". Yes it refers to Jesus . The translator can capitalize or punctuate as he sees fit. Bias usually dictates.
@@randsollie7921 Sorry no. The holy ones are dealt with separrately (KJV saints), and are in the plural Also the prophecy deals with the holy ones while are still on earth.
@Mozinwrath There is no definite article in front of "son of God" Check an interlinear.
