Be Lifted Up
Jesus is in His final days before the cross
V 32-33 said He would die on the cross
V 34 the people answered The Messiah lives forever
17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
they want an excuse not to believe
My Messiah would rescue us from the Romans
I cant believe in a messiah that would allow himself to be crucified
Today people are saying the same thing
My god would not send anybody to hell
my god is a loving god who wont judge
The they said
Who Is This Son Of Man?
Who Is This Son Of Man?
V 34 I thought we were talking about you
If the Messiah is God- Why are you calling yourself the Son of man?
why did Jesus refer to himself as this?
Ben-Adam - in the Hebrew - Adam meaning man
Barnabas Simon Bar Jonas
son of Man, completely human,
Son of- wealth= wealthy
I am Man
Adam was the first man
Dominion Over The Earth
Dominion Over The Earth
Genesis 1 27-28
God made man to have dominion, to be king, over all the earth
gave him power over all living things
gave him power over the elements
but in the fall he lost that power
Jesus on the other hand as the second man --------------
He had the dominion that Adam lost
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Jesus is regaining the Kingdom that Adam lost
Jesus the second Adam
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Jesus who Identifies himself as a complete human
was also a life giving Spirit
lets look at another thread, this time to the cross
The Seed of Eve
The Seed of Eve
Son of Adam/Man
Genesis 3 9-15
here we have a cryptic prophecy concerning the crucifixion
Who is this offspring of Eve?
37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Who is the offspring of Satan?
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Caiaphas the high priest Interrogating Jesus
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Before Jesus answers we need to take a detour Psalm 110
The Order Of Melchizedek
The Order Of Melchizedek
Psalm 110
V 4 Jesus after the Order of Melchizedek
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Priest and a king
Hebrews 7 says Melchizedek king of Righteousness
no father, mother, descendant, beginning, end of life
A priest continually, Abraham gave a tithe, thus Levi also. saying that He was superior to the Levitical priesthood
3 threads about the Son of Man
Dominion of the Earth
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Seed of Eve
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Order of Melchizedek
Ps 110
He will be king
priest higher than Levi
Judge the heathen
Lets go back to Jesus answer to Caiaphas the son of satan
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
the Son of Man the Human, is the King of the Earth
Priest of the Earth
Judge of the Earth
because of the cross Redeemer of the Earth
Jesus ascended into heaven
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Jesus the man is in Heaven

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
as God, Jesus cannot represent man
its only a perfect human who can stand in our place
to become like Him
