The Son Of Man

There is no doubt Who "The Son of Man" is. Jesus Christ plainly identified and spoke of Himself as such -

"But so that you may know that The Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." Then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home." And the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men." (Matthew 9:6-8) (see Miracles Of Jesus Christ)

"I tell you that one greater than the temple is here. If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. For The Son of Man is Lord of The Sabbath." (Matthew 12:6-8)

"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so The Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:40) (see The Garden Tomb)

"When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, "Who do people say The Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John The Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." [see Prophecy] "But what about you?" He asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are The Christ, The Son of The Living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by My Father in heaven." (Matthew 16:13-17)

"Then He left the crowd and went into the house [see Capernaum]. His disciples came to Him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." [see Parable Of The Weeds] He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is The Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil [see That Old Serpent]. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in The Kingdom of their Father [see The Kingdom of God]. He who has ears, let him hear." (Matthew 13:36-43)
