Q

The Son of Man is the one who has been “given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed” (Dan. 7:14). Jesus the “Son of Man” is Jesus the “Son of God,” who is so intimate with the Father, so beloved by the Father, that we know Him to be “the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being” (Heb. 1:13).
