Thanks...I enjoyed that article. Do you happen to know who or what the Jewish people think the "son of man" and the "ancient of days" is in these verses:
Dan 7:13 "I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.
Dan 7:14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.
“Son of man” is regarded as a mistranlation...this is how chabad.org translates it...”Ancient of Days” just refers to God and his eternal nature.
Daniel 7:13. I saw in the visions of the night, and behold with the clouds of the heaven, one like a man was coming, and he came up to the Ancient of Days and was brought before Him.
