Jesus, the Son of Man Revelation 1:13–15 Excerpt An analysis of OT allusions in vv 13–15 shows that the predominant features of the Son of man are drawn from Daniel 7 and especially Daniel 10 , with other texts contributing secondarily to the depiction. Most commentators agree that the significance of this is that Christ is portrayed as a kingly and priestly figure, since the figure in the two Daniel texts has the same features.112 Part of Christ’s priestly role is to tend the lampstands. The OT priest would trim the lamps, remove the wick and old oil, refill the lamps with fresh oil, and relight those that had gone out.113 Likewise, Christ tends the ecclesial lampstands by commending, correcting, exhorting, and warning ( see chs. 2–3 ) in order to secure the churches’ fitness for service as lightbearers in a dark world.  More Beale, G.

The Son of Man John 3:13 Excerpt The purpose of this verse is to emphasize the heavenly origin of  the Son of Man . John is the only one of the Gospel writers to emphasize this truth; it is basic to his theology. What gives  the Son of Man  his authority is his heavenly origin.  The Son of Man… came down from heaven  to tell men on earth  about the things of heaven ( verse   12 ). That is, the coming of  the Son of Man  is an act of divine revelation. But more than revelation is involved, as can be seen from the following verses - it is also an act of self-giving which leads to the death of  the Son of Man .  More Newman, Barclay Moon, and Eugene Albert Nida.  A Handbook on the Gospel of John .

But more than revelation is involved, as can be seen from the following verses—it is also an act of self-giving which leads to the death of the Son of Man. Some scholars maintain that the verb has gone up refers to the Son of Man, and so implies that he had already ascended to heaven at the time these words were written. That is, they assume that this verse contains John’s comments about the Son of Man and that it reflects the post-resurrection theology of John, rather than the words of Jesus. It is thus one way of explaining the use of the per...
