He said he is the Son of Man, so his Father is a Man? And he will come with his Father and his Father's angels?
They will both appear, accompanied by angels?
Anyone who answers these questions, please don't give me church mumbo-jumbo; I seek cogent answers here.
If you're not familiar, the quote comes from Matthew 16:27

Read the book The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold by Acharya S.
If you are really interested in finding the truth, open your mind, research books that give facts instead of fiction and religious theories.

He will not come with the Father. Rather, as stated, The Son of Man will come with the GLORY of the Father and his Angels.

Be Sound in Mind—The End Is Close
“The end of all things has drawn close. Be sound in mind, therefore, and be vigilant with a view to prayers.”—1Â PETER 4:7.
“I RECEIVED a calling from God during tonight’s final prayer. He said 116,000 persons would ascend to heaven and the graves of 3.7 million dead believers will open up toward the sky.” So said a leader of the Mission for the Coming Days on the eve of October 28, 1992, their prophesied day of reckoning. However, as October 29 rolled around, not one person had ascended to heaven, and no tombs of the dead had been opened. Instead of being whisked away in a heavenly rapture, those doomsday believers in Korea saw just another day dawn. Doomsday deadlines have come and gone, but doomsayers remain undaunted. What are Christians to do? Should they stop believing that the end is fast approaching?
2 To answer, let us recall the occasion when Jesus was in private conversation with his disciples. There, in the district of Caesarea Philippi, northeast of the Sea of Galilee, with majestic Mount Hermon providing a dramatic backdrop, they heard him say bluntly that he would be killed. (Matthew 16:21) Other sobering words were to follow. After explaining to them that discipleship means living a life of continual self-sacrifice, Jesus warned: “The Son of man is destined to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will recompense each one according to his behavior.” (Matthew 16:27) Jesus spoke of a future coming. On this occasion, however, he would be a Judge. At that time everything would rest on whether he would find a person faithfully following him or not. Jesus’ judgment would be based on behavior, no matter how much that person might or might not have in worldly goods. This fact his disciples had to keep firmly in mind. (Matthew 16:25, 26) Hence, it is Jesus Christ himself who tells his followers to look for his glorious coming, with its judgment.
3 What Jesus next says illustrates the certainty of his future coming. Authoritatively he states: “Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” (Matthew 16:28) These words are fulfilled six days later. A brilliant vision of Jesus transfigured amazes his intimate disciples. They actually see Jesus’ face shining as the sun and his clothing glitteringly white. The transfiguration was a foreview of Christ’s glory and Kingdom. What a strengthening confirmation of the Kingdom prophecies! What a powerful incentive for the disciples to be sound in mind!—2Â Peter 1:16-19.

Jesus is God in human form. Sent to save the sinners of the world. "Son of Man" refers to him serving the human world. God has given his Son (Jesus) power over heaven and earth. Jesus is Judge, Jury, and Savior. Through him you will find salvation. Time is limited, you must repent before the second coming of the Lord. We don't know when that will be but it will come, and we must be prepared. The new testament will tell you all you need to know. Look there.

He will come in the Glory of GOD because He is God--see John 1:1 and Revelation 1:7.

OK , as I believe and understand from the bible story ...
Jesus was : son of man ( joseph ) and son of god
son of man by flesh , and son of god by holy spirit
we know the son of god story , and if he wasn't talking about god here , he would be talking about Joseph
and I don't think that Joseph may come one day with his angels .
so , I believe he was talking about god.
Jesus loved the name " son of man " and he called himself that all the time .
"son of god" is the name he was given by people , he didn't deny it , but he never used it as I remember in talking about himself.
that's why I find it very normal that he say : "son of man" shall come in the glory of his father ...
the strange thing comming from Jesus would be saying : "son of god" shall come in the glory of his father ...

"Son of Man" was a name Jesus gave to himself, and He used it often. It in no way implies His Father was a man. It means Jesus was human, like the rest of the folk. You are jumping to conclusions.
Word study will help you.

Jesus will come in all His glory....
The Son of Man was a term for Him.......
Christ was God in the flesh....but He will come back someday as the Lion of Judah....to judge.
