The Four Beasts and 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.  Scripture: Daniel 7:1-28 | Matthew 26:63-65 | Mark 14:61-64 | Acts 7:56 | Revelation 13:1-7 | Revelation 20:11-15Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-broadcasting-seeds-podcast--6402290/support.Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/BroadcastingSeeds. for Ad-Free audio & video content.Books-BennettTantonBooks.comWhat We Have (Grid Collapse Series Book 1)What We Have (Grid Collapse Series Book 1)The War You Didn’t Know You Were In: Understanding and Winning the Spiritual BattleCREATURES AT THE EDGE: Cryptids, Archetypes, and the Human Encounter with Mystery (At the Edge Series)The Last Witch Hunter’s Journal WebsiteYouTubeThis episode includes AI-generated content.
