The Four Beasts and the Son of Man
About this episode
This episode explores the significance of Daniel 7 and its implications for understanding the New Testament and the identity of Jesus as the Son of Man.
Daniel 7 gives us the same four kingdoms as Daniel 2, but viewed from heaven's perspective. From earth, they are magnificent metals. From heaven, they are beasts -- a lion, a bear, a leopard, and something so terrible that no animal metaphor can contain it. Then the Ancient of Days takes his seat. The court is opened. The books appear. And one like a son of man comes with the clouds of heaven and receives an everlasting kingdom. Jesus chose Son of Man as his primary self-designation -- 80 times in the Gospels. At his trial before Caiaphas, when asked if he was the Messiah, he responded by citing Daniel 7:13 directly. The high priest tore his robes. Not because Jesus claimed to be the Messiah. Because he claimed to be the divine-human figure in Daniel's vision who receives eternal dominion from the Ancient of Days. Daniel 7 is the foundation for Revelation's beast imagery, the Great White Throne judgment, and the Son of Man language throughout the New Testament. You cannot read the New Testament accurately without it.
