Whois'THE SON OF MAN'?"from now on the 'Son of man' will be sittin at the powerful right hand of GOD"luke22:69

Answer 1

SON OF MAN

In Hebrew this is mainly a translation of the expression ben-´a·dham´. Instead of referring to the person, Adam, ´a·dham´ is here used generically for "mankind" so that the expression ben-´a·dham´ means, in essence, "a son of mankind, a human, an earthling son." (Ps 80:17; 146:3; Jer 49:18, 33) The phrase is often employed in parallel with other Hebrew terms for "man," namely, ´ish, meaning "a male person" (compare Nu 23:19; Job 35:8; Jer 50:40) and ´enohsh´, "a mortal man." (Compare Ps 8:4; Isa 51:12; 56:2.) At Psalm 144:3 the "son of mortal man" is ben-´enohsh´, while the Aramaic equivalent (bar ´enash´) appears at Daniel 7:13.

In Greek the expression is hui·os´ tou an·thro´pou, the latter part of the phrase representing the Greek generic word for "man" (an´thro·pos).-Mt 16:27.

In the Hebrew Scriptures the most frequent occurrence of the expression is in the book of Ezekiel, where over 90 times God addresses the prophet as "son of man." (Eze 2:1, 3, 6, 8) The designation as so used apparently serves to emphasize that the prophet is simply an earthling, thus heightening the contrast between the human spokesman and the Source of his message, the Most High God. The same designation is applied to the prophet Daniel at Daniel 8:17.

Christ Jesus, "the Son of Man." In the Gospel accounts the expression is found nearly 80 times, applying in every case to Jesus Christ, being used by him to refer to himself. (Mt 8:20; 9:6; 10:23) The occurrences outside the Gospel accounts are at Acts 7:56; Hebrews 2:6; and Revelation 1:13; 14:14.

Jesus' application of this expression to himself clearly showed that God's Son was now indeed a human, having 'become flesh' (Joh 1:14), having 'come to be out of a woman' through his conception and birth to the Jewish virgin Mary. (Ga 4:4; Lu 1:34-36) Hence he had not simply materialized a human body as angels had previously done; he was not an incarnation but was actually a 'son of mankind' through his human mother.-Compare 1Jo 4:2, 3; 2Jo 7; see FLESH.

For this reason the apostle Paul could apply Psalm 8 as prophetic of Jesus Christ. In his letter to the Hebrews (2:5-9), Paul quoted the verses reading: "What is mortal man [´enohsh´] that you keep him in mind, and the son of earthling man [ben-´a·dham´] that you take care of him? You also proceeded to make him a little less than godlike ones ["a little lower than angels," at Hebrews 2:7], and with glory and splendor you then crowned him. You make him dominate over the works of your hands; everything you have put under his feet." (Ps 8:4-6; compare Ps 144:3.) Paul shows that, to fulfill this prophetic psalm, Jesus indeed was made "a little lower than angels," becoming actually a mortal "son of earthling man," that he might die as such and thereby "taste death for every man," thereafter being crowned with glory and splendor by his Father, who resurrected him.-Heb 2:8, 9; compare Heb 2:14; Php 2:5-9.

The designation "Son of man," therefore, also serves to identify Jesus Christ as the great Kinsman of mankind, having the power to redeem them from bondage to sin and death, as well as to identify him as the great Avenger of blood.-Le 25:48, 49; Nu 35:1-29; see AVENGER OF BLOOD; RANSOM; REPURCHASE, REPURCHASER.

Thus, Jesus' being called the "Son of David" (Mt 1:1; 9:27) emphasizes his being the heir of the Kingdom covenant to be fulfilled in David's line; his being called the "Son of man" calls attention to his being of the human race by virtue of his fleshly birth; his being called the "Son of God" stresses his being of divine origin, not descended from the sinner Adam or inheriting imperfection from him but having a fully righteous standing with God.-Mt 16:13-17.

Answer 2

The Son of Man is the title Jesus used when speaking of His own humanity. In this verse Jesus emphasizes that after having died, resurrected and glorified, he will sit on God's throne and rule. Imagine, a human lifted up to that position. What's even more mind boggling is that all who are in Christ by faith, inherit the same kind of authority!

Answer 3

Jesus Christ. Having been born a human, he could well refer to himself as the son of Man.

Answer 4

Jesus. He adopted that term, "Son of Man" from Isaiah, to show His humility, even though He was also the Son of God.

Answer 5

Jesus Christ our savior.

Answer 6

Jesus Christ

Answer 7

Jesus
