The Son Of Man

Hello! and happy good weekend to all of us, GUYS.  Our "daily bread" this Saturday:

THE GOOD NEWS (06 August 2016)

"I looked and saw the following:

Some thrones were set in place and One of Great Age took HIS seat.  HIS robe was white as snow, HIS hair white as washed wool.  HIS throne was flames of fire with wheels of blazing fire.  A river of fire sprang forth and flowed before HIM.  Thousands upon thousands served HIM and a countless multitude stood before HIM. 

GOD In HIS Throne

Those in the tribunal took their seats and opened the book.  But as I remembered the haughty words of the horn with human eyes and mouth which I had seen before, this animal was killed before my eyes, and its body destroyed and cast into the fire.  Dominion was taken from the other animals, though they were allowed to stay alive for a time, until the fixed time.

I continued watching the nocturnal vision:

One like a son of man came on the clouds of heaven.  HE faced the One of Great Age and was brought into HIS presence. 

The Transfiguration

Dominion, honor and kingship were given HIM, and all the peoples and nations of every language served HIM.  HIS dominion is eternal and shall never pass away; HIS kingdom will never be destroyed." - Daniel 7:9-14

(On the clouds of heaven: the cloud is the sign of the divine presence.

The One of Great Age: this refers to GOD, and the white hair is a sign of HIS majesty.  Let us not forget that, in fact, GOD is ageless and is in a unique moment, an ever present now.

A son of man, namely, a human: at first, this mysterious person referred to the whole people of GOD.  If GOD wanted to give HIS Kingdom to people, HE would, in fact, give it in a personal way to the one who is the model, the savior and the head of everyone and of all humankind.   JESUS is the Man [John 19:5], or, to follow the Jewish way of speaking, the son of man.

The son of man comes from the divine clouds, and so JESUS applied the prophecy to HIMSELF to point to HIS divine origin when HIS accusers were seeing HIM in the weakness of the human condition [Matthew 26:64].)
