Son of Man:
(1.) Denotes mankind generally, with special reference to their weakness and frailty (Job 25:6; Psa 8:4; 144:3; 146:3; Isa 51:12, etc.).
(2.) It is a title frequently given to the prophet Ezekiel, probably to remind him of his human weakness.
(3.) In the New Testament it is used forty-three times as a distinctive title of the Saviour. In the Old Testament it is used only in Psa 80:17 and Dan 7:13 with this application. It denotes the true humanity of our Lord. He had a true body (Hbr 2:14; Luk 24:39) and a rational soul. He was perfect man.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
