What Jesus Meant When He Called Himself the Son of Man | Michael Heiser

Learn how the Son of Man in Daniel 7 establishes a messianic profile. We break down this crucial biblical passage with Matthew Halstead. This discussion focuses on the specific imagery found within Daniel 7, specifically examining the Son of Man terminology. We examine how this text functions as a Divine Council meeting and how that context shapes our understanding of messianic identity in scripture. This is essential viewing for anyone studying Old Testament prophecy or seeking a deeper theological context for how the Son of Man is portrayed in the biblical narrative. Matthew Halstead joins the podcast for our sixth conversation on this topic. We analyze the linguistic and historical connections that solidify the messianic profile element found in the text. By looking at the Divine Council framework, viewers gain clarity on why Daniel 7 remains a foundational passage for interpreting later messianic expectations. https://nakedbiblepodcast.com https://drmsh.com #michaelheiser #OldTestament #ApostlePaul #divinecouncil #biblestudy #nakedbiblepodcast \\------------------------\\ Help Support ASFJ: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/VQEK7RM7WZYV6 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus 0:00 The Son of Man as a Messianic Profile 0:29 Revisiting the Messianic Prophetic Framework 2:10 Motifs and Patterns in Old Testament Messianism 4:35 Daniel 7: Apocalyptic Crisis and Sovereignty 7:18 The Significance of the Son of Man Motif 9:13 Two Powers in Heaven and the Son of Man 17:25 Analyzing the Vision of the Four Beasts 29:10 Jesus and the Reappropriation of Daniel 7
