The Son of Man Reviled


Listen Later

In the Book of Enoch, The Son of Man is a mysterious, exalted messianic figure who appears prominently in the Book of Parables (1 Enoch 37–71). He is not only a righteous and chosen one, but also a divine judge and cosmic king—set apart before the creation of the world and destined to bring justice, light, and salvation to the righteous, while casting down the wicked and the kings of the earth.

Unlike in the canonical Hebrew Bible, where the term "son of man" often simply refers to a human being, in Enoch's vision this figure is transcendent, pre-existent, and sits beside the Ancient of Days (the Head of Days), in a heavenly court. He is described as:

  • The Elect One: Chosen by God before time began.
  • The Light of the Nations: He reveals hidden truths and brings divine wisdom.
  • The Judge of Souls: He will judge the fallen angels, rulers, and all humanity.
  • The Revealer of Mysteries: He unveils the secrets of heaven, showing how divine justice will unfold.

This portrayal is deeply mystical and apocalyptic. The Son of Man is both a heavenly being and a messianic savior—both approachable and awe-inspiring, compassionate and terrifying in judgment. He represents the ultimate triumph of divine order over chaos and corruption.

The concept influenced later Jewish and Christian messianic thought, especially in how Jesus is described in the New Testament as the "Son of Man"—echoing the powerful imagery and theology found in Enoch’s visions.
