The Son of Man is coming!


The Son of Man is coming!

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like the Son of man, and went to the Ancient of Days, and they get to him. [The Messiah] was given authority and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations and men of every language serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass, and his kingdom will never be destroyed. "(Daniel 7:13-14)
Among the accurate prophecy that the Holy Spirit revealed to Daniel, the above is not a prediction of the first, but the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It is a clear prophecy of the coronation of the Messiah in the end times, which will begin the thousand years of peace on earth.However, the term "Ancient of Days" in the above passage refers to God the Father In other words, Daniel had a vision of the Son of God the Father of man having dominion over all the earth. Area which will be eternal, and whose kingdom will never be destroyed.
The Lord Jesus Himself in Matthew 24:30, reinforces the same prophecy given by Daniel. About 550 years later, Jesus says about himself:
"Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, all the peoples of the earth mourn, and they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor]."
As you read the entire chapter 24 of Matthew, Jesus makes this statement to explain all the signs that will precede His return.Signals which are already happening in our generation. During his sentencing, Jesus returns to talk about Daniel's prophecy in Matthew 26:64 that the high priest accused:
"Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said [sic], however, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Much later, around AD 96, Jesus appears to John (at the time as an exile on the island of Patmos) producing the same vision that was given to Daniel:
"I turned to see who was talking to me, and turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands one like a son of man, and girt about with talar robes, at chest height, with a golden girdle." (Revelation 1:13)

The text indicates that what John saw was a human being, in his appearance. "Son of Man" was one of the titles that Jesus gave himself, the same term used in Daniel 7:13.
Revelation 1:13 says that Jesus still appears "robed and girded talar, at chest height, with a golden girdle." ESAA description is typical of the robes that used when the chief priests ministering in the Temple. Hebrews 3:1 tells us that Jesus is our great high priest. In times of the Old and New Testaments, this garment symbolized power and authority to whom he dressed well.Especially the belt was worn only by one having authority.Matthew 28:18 says that all authority in heaven and on earth were given to Jesus.
