Filho do homem
Filho do Homem é o título que Jesus mais usou para si mesmo. Ele conecta sua humanidade plena com a visão profética de Daniel sobre o Messias glorioso que receberá domínio eterno.
A profecia de Daniel
Daniel viu alguém como o Filho do Homem vindo com as nuvens do céu. Foi-lhe dado domínio, glória e reino eterno.
Therefore I beheld in the vision of night, and lo! one as a son of man came with the clouds of heaven; and he came fully till to the Eld of days, and in the sight of him they offered him.
And he gave to him power, and honour, and realm, and all the peoples, lineages, and languages shall serve him; his power is everlasting power, that shall not be taken away, and his realm, that shall not be corrupted.
and in the middle of the seven golden candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with a long garment, and girded at the teats with a golden girdle.
And I saw, and lo! a white cloud, and above the cloud a sitter [or one sitting], like the son of man, having in his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And he said, Lo! I see heavens opened, and man’s Son [or the Son of man] standing on the right half of the virtue of God.
