Son of Man
Jesus Christ refers to Himself 88 times in the four
Gospels as the … Son of Man …
… even at the time of Jesus
Christ God’s revelation of the Son of Man was both well established and
ancient … in order to better understand this we will review how time is
measured in the Holy Bible …
Basic
unit of measure is one: Day
Seven
days are a cycle of one: Week
The 7th
day of each week is the: Sabbath
Thirty
(30) days are a cycle of one: Month
Twelve
(12) months are a cycle of one: Year
The 7th
year is termed the: Shmita
Seven
Shmitas + 1year are a cycle of: Jubilee
A Jubilee is 50 Biblical Years
Biblical History groups into
three periods of 40 Jubilees each
… our analyses during bible study
often find that God’s dwelling with people is linked both sequentially and
concurrently in time periods which fall into a somewhat structured sequence of
3 blocks of 40 Jubilees each … essentially a period of time which measures
2,000 years each …
4,000 BC Adam
and Eve leave Eden 30 Jubilees to:
2,500 BC Great
Flood – Noah 10
Jubilees to:
2,000 BC __ Covenant with Abraham 10 Jubilees to:
1,500 BC Covenant
with Moses 10
Jubilees to:
1,000 BC Covenant
with David 10
Jubilees to:
500 BC Revelation
to Daniel 10 Jubilees to:
32 AD __ Redemption
by Jesus Christ 40 Jubilees to:
20280911 End
of the 120th Jubilee Cycle
… the title … Son of Man … is
found in all three of these 40 Jubilee time periods … In the most current 40
Jubilee time period … Jesus Christ has with certainty defined Himself as the
Son of Man … in the middle 40 Jubilee time period … we find references which
help define … Son of Man … in the books of Daniel and Ezekiel … in the first 40
Jubilee time period … that time period prior to the great flood of Noah … the
initial text for the revelation of the Son of Man is found in a book written by
a man named Enoch … with Enoch we move back into the time period of the 10
Biblical Patriarchs who … though identified in the Holy Bible … represent a
time period mostly forgotten by our current time period and written history … when
Adam’s third son … Seth … had his first son … Enosh … the Holy Bible tells us
that a time began when mankind changed and became two groups distinguishable
groups of people … one group called upon the name of God and one group did not
… in the Book of Enoch and throughout the Old Testament and New Testament of
the Holy Bible we find that God has focused his relationship, with humankind on
these very distinct and inclusive two groups of people … they are referenced in
the Book of Enoch as the … the Chosen or Holy … these people now call
themselves Jews ( Hebrews ) and the second distinct and inclusive of the two
groups is termed … the Redeemed ( all human kind was redeemed by the blood of
Jesus Christ on the cross however the group termed Redeemed is a little larger
than just Christians ) … the time period represent by these 120 Jubilee Cycles
and our current time which is just after its completion represents a process in
which God is returning His creation to its status at the end of the sixth day
of creation following that unfortunate decision which Adam and Eve made in Eden
… it is an interesting study to review the 10 Biblical Patriarchs and the
Hebrew meaning of their names as found in the Holy Bible … they are one
signature which God given to us in His Word to tell us that there is a formal plan
for the restoration of God’s creation to its original status at rhe end of the
sixth day of creation … that is … good …

place to dwell in peace
… the role of the Son of Man
is central to the restoration of God’s Creation …
… in our analyses we find … in
the Book of Enoch … in the visions and prophecy of Daniel in the Old Testament
… and ,,, in the book The Revelation of Jesus Christ in the New Testament … the
title … Son of Man as synonymous with the Son of God with reference to
Jesus Christ … and … we find that the term
Son of Man is a title which in all three references defines four attributes
… that is … aspects of the ministry of Jesus Christ Who came toe earth as the Son
of Man for humankind …
A.
The Son of Man is Eternal, Righteous and Holy
B.
The Son of Man will come to Earth to Save those who Believe in Him
C.
The Son of Man will Rise from the dead for the Chosen + Righteous
D.
The Son of Man will Rule and Judge all Men and Nations
… while there are many scripture
references in both the Holy Bible’s Old Testament and New Testament that define
these attributes of the Messiah … that is Jesus Christ - the Messiah… in this
bible study we will frame select verses around related select text found in the
Book of Enoch … the Book of Enoch is not a book of the Holy Bible and while
lost for 1,500 years to most of Christianity it has now been found in North
Africa … and … portions of this book in multiple copies ( 11 separate text sources
) … are also found as Dead Sea Scroll
fragments … an interesting history for a book lost to history for over two
thousand years …
A.
The Son of Man is … Eternal
… Righteous … and … Holy

for wickedness … to bring in everlasting righteousness … to seal up vision and
prophecy … and … to anoint the most holy …

much wisdom … those who believe will rejoice over them … and … the righteous
will learn from them the way of truth … they will be glad … they will testify
to the sons of the earth about the wisdom in them … they will have peace …
… the Chosen are also often
referred to in the book of Enoch as the Holy … the Righteous are all those folk
of humankind made righteous by the … life … death on the cross … and …
resurrection from the dead … of Jesus Christ God our LORD Savior Teacher and
Friend … from our analyses in the Holy Bible this list includes but is not
limited to …
@ all unborn of humankind
who die in the womb for any reason …
@ all children who die before
they reach the age of reason … the age of reason is when an individual of
humankind becomes accountable for the consequences of their free will decisions
…
@ all adults of humankind who die
after they have reached the age of reason however cannot be held accountable
for the consequences of their free will decisions because pf some physical or
mental infirmity which has impaired their ability to make free will decisions
with an understanding of both the accountability and/or consequences
of those free will decisions …
@ all Hebrew ( Jewish ) people
who are older than the age of reason and fortunately for a life attentive to
the Word of God and His will … do not meet the criteria … cut off from the
people of God …
@ all other adults of humankind
who are older than the age of reason and who confess that Jesus Christ is their
LORD and Savior … and … who believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the
third day …
… this list is not necessarily
complete or inclusive however it provides the list documented for us in the
Holy Bible … the impact of this understanding in our current time frame is that
the anticipated … rapture of the church … will actually be the … rapture of the
righteous children of God …
