The Coming of the Son of Man

Matthew’s coming-language is throne-language, not a space-travel itinerary.

Plain

In Daniel 7 the one like a son of man comes to heaven’s court and is given dominion. The movement is upward and royal.

In Matthew

Matthew 10, 16, 24, and 26 use the idiom inside “this generation” and “you will see” frames. That is audience relevance.

First-Century Horizon

When the old city fell and the gospel already ran among the nations, Daniel 7 had become visible on earth as the public side of a reign already given.

Scripture

New Creation Reality

The Son of Man has the dominion. New Creation life is life under that received kingdom.
