“It is no exaggeration to say that no other concept in the Old Testament, not even the Servant of the Lord, has elicited a more prolific literature. Of all the figures used in the Old Testament to designate the coming deliverer; king, priest, branch, servant, seed – none is more profound than ‘Son of man’. Here there is a vision of man as he was intended to be, perfectly embodying all his potential in obedience to his Creator. ‘Son of man’ is also a term of glory, both in Daniel 7 and in Jesus’ use of the term, but ‘the epiphany of the glory of the Son of man will be to those who have been proved by suffering’." Joyce G. Baldwin, “Daniel” p. 154, TOTC
