This Series
to know the Person of Christ in connection with end-time events
to discover the works of Christ in the last days
Previous Part
Jesus Christ was identified as the Alpha and the Omega
As Alpha and Omega, He is the Beginning and the End, and the First and the Last

Why is Jesus identified as Son of Man in the last days?
Main Points

Jesus will be Son of David in the Millennium
the only exception is the son of man ministry in the end-time.
