¹¹ “When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.

12. From what prophecy does Jesus borrow the expression the “Son of man,” and what does this tell us about the Kingdom?

¹² We notice that, when introducing that prophetic illustration, Jesus borrowed the expression the “Son of man” from Daniel 7:13, 14, where we read: “See there! with the clouds of the heavens someone like a son of man happened to be coming; and to the Ancient of Days he gained access, and they brought him up close even before that One. And to him there were given rulership and dignity and kingdom, that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him. His rulership is an indefinitely lasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be brought to ruin.”
