  • The Christological Aspects of Hebrew Ideograms Kristološki Vidiki Hebrejskih Ideogramov
    1027 Pregledni znanstveni članek/Article (1.02) Bogoslovni vestnik/Theological Quarterly 79 (2019) 4, 1027—1038 Besedilo prejeto/Received:09/2019; sprejeto/Accepted:10/2019 UDK/UDC: 811.411.16'02 DOI: https://doi.org/10.34291/BV2019/04/Petrovic Predrag Petrović The Christological Aspects of Hebrew Ideograms Kristološki vidiki hebrejskih ideogramov Abstract: The linguistic form of the Hebrew Old Testament retained its ancient ideo- gram values included​​ in the mystical directions and meanings originating from the divine way of addressing people. As such, the Old Hebrew alphabet has remained a true lexical treasure of the God-established mysteries of the ecclesiological way of existence. The ideographic meanings of the Old Hebrew language represent the form of a mystagogy through which God spoke to the Old Testament fathers about the mysteries of the divine creation, maintenance, and future re-creation of the world. Thus, the importance of the ideogram is reflected not only in the recognition of the Christological elements embedded in the very structure of the Old Testament narrative, but also in the ever-present working structure of the existence of the world initiated by the divine economy of salvation. In this way both the Old Testament and the New Testament Israelites testify to the historici- zing character of the divine will by which the world was created and by which God in an ecclesiological way is changing and re-creating the world. Keywords: Old Testament, old Hebrew language, ideograms, mystagogy, Word of God, God (the Father), Holy Spirit, Christology, ecclesiology, Gospel, Revelation Povzetek: Jezikovna oblika hebrejske Stare Zaveze je obdržala svoje starodavne ideogramske vrednote, vključene v mistagoške smeri in pomene, nastale iz božjega načina nagovarjanja ljudi.

  • Daniel's Vision of the Son Of
    Daniel’s Vision of the Son of Man E.J. Young, Th.M., Ph.D. [p.3] One of the most majestically conceived scenes in the entire Old Testament is that of the judgment in which a figure like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven and was brought before the Ancient of days. The vision has to do with the judgment of four beasts which represent human kings, and also with the establishment of the kingdom of God.1 At its central point is the scene of judgment and the introduction of the Son of man. Concerning this strange figure there has been much discussion, and it will be our purpose to ascertain, in so far as that is possible, his identity. A Survey of Daniel VII The seventh chapter of Daniel relates events which took place in the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon.2 During this year a dream came to Daniel, the content of which he recorded. In this dream he saw the great sea, a figure of humanity itself.3 From the sea there arose four beasts, each diverse from the others. These beasts did not arise simultaneously, but one after another. The first is said to have been like a lion, with the wings of an eagle. In its flight to heaven it was checked, the heart of a man was given to it and it was made to stand upon its feet as a man. The second beast was compared with a bear raised up on one side. The third resembled a leopard, and the fourth was nondescript, compared to no animal.

  • In Generic and Personal Senses. God the Spirit and Consequently Being
    Renewal 111:64-72 \ � 2013 West Africa Theological Seminary THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SON OF MAN TERMINOLOGY IN EZEKIEL BY DR. OFFIONG ETUK UDOIBOK Pan-African Christian University College, Winneba ABSTRACT: This article addresses the "son of man" from its Old Testament canonical roots, with particular reference to the book of Ezekiel. Ben-adam, the Hebrew for "son ofman," is used both in generic and personal senses. God identifies the prophet as "son ofman" because ofhis submission to the power of the Spirit and consequently being qualified to speak for God, a thing that bespeaks the purpose for which man was created. At times God uses the prophet as object lesson (pedi^ogy in biography), with pains infUcted on his person to remind Judah that a man can be that obedient, although so spiritual. God's Due to the fact that "son of man" implies not only the human aspect true readers of servant, but as well the divine strength that produces humanity, this article have been cautioned by H. E. Tohdt not to place the "son ofman" of the prophets exactly on par with that ofJesus.' KEYWORDS: Son ofMan, Ezekiel, Eschatology PROLEGOMENA A.

  • The Son of Man and the Ancient of Days Observations on the Early Christian Reception of Daniel 7
    The Son of Man and the Ancient of Days Observations on the Early Christian Reception of Daniel 7 Bogdan G. Bucur Duquesne University, Pittsburgh Abstract: The divergence between the two textual variants of Dan 7:13 (“Old Greek” and “Theodotion”) and their distinct ways of understanding the relationship between Daniel’s “Ancient of Days” and “Son of Man” is insufficiently studied by scholars of the Book of Daniel, and is neglected by translators of the LXX. This article offers a critical examination of the status quaestionis and a discussion of the exegetical, doctrinal, hymnographic, and iconographic productions illustrating the rich reception history of Daniel 7 in Late Antique and Medieval, especially Byzantine, Christianity. While one exegetical strand distinguishes between the Son of Man (identified as God the Son) and the Ancient of Days (identified as God the Father), an equally, if not more widespread and influential, interpretation views Jesus Christ as both “Son of Man” and “Ancient of Days.” The article argues against the thesis of a direct correlation between the two textual variants of Dan 7:13 and the two strands of its reception history. Introduction The Christian reception history of Daniel 7:13 is complicated by the existence of two authoritative Greek variants of this verse. The pages to follow review the state of scholarship and argue that this textual divergence actually had a minimal impact on the Wirkungsgeschichte of Dan 7:13. This article is also concerned with the best ways to describe the multi-layered reception history of Greek Daniel 7, its diverse modes of symbolisation and strategies of appropriating the sacred Scriptures of Israel as Christian Bible.

MESSIANIC” CHESS MATCH AND LESSONS FOR CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS. Toni Perry Liberty University School of Divinity, 2020 Mentor: Dr. David Stark Reader: Dr. Edward Martin Played out against the background of a chess game allegory, this thesis argues two key components to discovering Jesus’s self-identity in the Gospel of Mark. The first is that Mark’s depiction of Jesus’s Son of Man self-designation as a messianic interpretation is more plausible than its contemporary idiomatic interpretation. The second is that Jesus reveals His hidden Son of Man identity in Mark via a threefold strategic approach, which not only embodies His intent and mission through serving, suffering, and glorification, but also serves as a paradigm for the Christian witness and discipleship. The fourfold purpose of this study is to 1) glean information of Jesus’s self-knowledge and understanding as the Son of Man in Mark’s Gospel; 2) resolve any Second Temple Judaism interpretive issues in the text in order to determine its meaning and significance; 3) examine Jesus’s Son of Man strategy in Mark and its implications on contemporary Christian apologetics; and 4) contribute intellectually to the ongoing Son of Man debate conversations.

  • “Son of Man” Mean?
    Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed. © 2018 by Mark Allan Powell. All rights reserved. 4.10 What Does “Son of Man” Mean? There has been much scholarly debate concerning the meaning of the phrase “son of man (humanity)” which is also written as “Son of Man” when it is used as a virtual title that Jesus applies to himself. The phrase is used in the Old Testament (primarily the books of Psalms, Ezekiel, and Daniel) and is applied to Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels, usually in a context of self-reference: Jesus refers to himself as “the Son of Man,” but others do not generally refer to him this way. Paul and other letter writers do not use the phrase except when quoting Old Testament Scripture. The HarperCollins Bible Dictionary has tried to sort out the confusion by indicating the phrase can be used with three meanings: 1. As an idiomatic way of speaking of a human, or of humanity collectively. The Hebrew phrase in question is ben ’adam, which the NRSV often translates as “mortal(s).” Sometimes, the phrase ben ’adam is used in synonymous parallelism with “human being,” as when the psalmist asks, “what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?” (Ps. 8:4); note that in Hebrew the word translated “mortals” is a singular expression (literally, “the son of man”), though it does seem to be used here in a collective sense (to refer to human in general). Likewise, in Psalm 80:17 the Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed.

  • "The Origin and Significance of the Title 'The Son of Man'," Scripture
    THE ORIGIN AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TITLE 'THE SON OF MAN' AS USED IN THE GOSPELS! One of the most puzzling and intriguing features of the Gospels is the constant recurrence of the title ' The Son of Man' as the characteristic self-designation of Jesus. Yet, strange and even enigmatical as it is to Christian ears, an examination of all pertinent texts leads to the conviction that, for some at least of those amongst whom Jesus lived, this title must have held some special significance. Use of the Title in the Gospels This must surely have been so in the case of the scribe who wished to follow Jesus (Matt. 8:20; Luke 9:58), of Nathanael (John 1:51), Nicodemus (John 3 :13, 14), Zaccheus (Luke 19:10), and of the' man born blind' (John 9:35). And when addressing the Scribes, Pharisees and other representatives of' official Jewry '-' the Jews' of St John -Our Lord seems to have taken special pains to insist that it was the Son of Man who had power to forgive sins 2; the Son of Man who was Lord of the Sabbath 3; that it was the flesh and blood of the Son of Man that they must eat and drink if they would live (John 6: 53); that it was the Son of Man who would be seen enthroned at the right hand of the Almighty.4. When, after the Transfiguration, Jesus devoted himself in earnest to the instruction and formation of his Apostles and disciples, it was always the Son of Man who must be delivered up and crucified 5 ; the Son of Man who must depart and return at an hour they did not expect.
