The one like the Son of Man in Daniel is the source of Christ’s self-designation as the Son of Man and his royal authority.
The term “Son of Man” is the self-designation found most often on the lips of Jesus. It is derived from Daniel’s vision of the one “like a Son of Man” who received the “dominion and kingdom” from the “Ancient of Days.” All the tribes of the Earth will mourn when “they see the Son of man coming on the clouds of Heaven.”

Jésus a annoncé le salut de Dieu offert aux hommes et aux femmes de toutes les nations, marquant le début de l’ère du Salut.
Jésus de Nazareth a déclaré: “Tout pouvoir m’a été donné au ciel et sur la terre, allez donc et faites de toutes les nations des disciples.” Il envoya ensuite ses disciples annoncer le salut acquis par sa mort jusqu’aux “extrémités de la Terre.” L’ère du Salut a commencé avec sa Mort et sa Résurrection; par conséquent, son message vivifiant doit être annoncé à tous les hommes. Le Fils de Dieu a obtenu le salut pour son peuple!

Jesus announced the salvation of God offered to men and women of every nation, marking the commencement of the Age of Salvation.

The kings and nations of the Earth are found in New Jerusalem because of the Lamb’s redemptive work.
The Apostle Paul describes the proclamation of “Christ crucified” as “God’s wisdom and power.” The proposition that God overthrew Sin, Satan, and Death through the execution of a lowly man from the small village of Nazareth is “foolishness” to men and contrary to this world’s “wisdom” and ideologies. Even the spiritual “powers and principalities” did not understand what God was doing and sealed their fate by crucifying the “Lord of Glory.”

Jesus, the Faithful Witness, now reigns supreme over the Kings of the Earth, and he is shepherding the nations to the Holy City of New Jerusalem.
Jesus is called the “Ruler of the Kings of the Earth” in the Prologue of Revelation. This declaration is made in the present tense since his sovereignty over the Earth is based on his Death and Resurrection. He does not rule by hereditary right, economic power, or military might, but because of his redeeming death. The slain “Lamb” is the one who sits on the Throne. His authority extends even over “Death and Hades.”
