Episode 109: One Like the Son of Man (Jared W. Ludlow)

The title Jesus preferred to use for himself more than any other in the New Testament Gospels was "Son of Man." According to the Bible Dictionary, this title was used approximately eighty times in the Gospels and used exclusively by the Savior to reference himself. "And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath" (Luke 6:5). But why would this simple descriptor be chosen as a majestic title of the Lord? In this episode Dr. Jared W. Ludlow, professor of ancient scripture and publications director of the Religious Studies Center, answers this question and provides greater insight to the eschatological context by discussing his article, "'One Like the Son of Man Came with the Clouds of Heaven': The Context and Influence of the Son of Man Prophecy in Daniel 7." Professor Ludlow outlines the characteristics of apocalyptic literature within the book of Daniel, deconstructs the elements of the Son of Man prophecy, and connects both to Restoration scripture and the teachings of early Church leaders. In examining this work, we might learn ways to prepare and pray for the building up of God's eternal kingdom.
