The Son of Man ": Who is it?!
The Quran presents the true Christ Jesus as the Son of Mary, and the Holy Gospels, too, presented to us as "the Son of Mary, but the gospel was written on white boards and the Heart of Jesus delivered to his disciples and followers orally soon unfortunately was adulterated with a mass of myth and legend. "The Son of Mary" becomes "the Son of Joseph ", who has brothers and sisters (1). Then it becomes" the Son of David, "(2)" the Son of Man "(3)" the Son of God "(4)" the Son "only (5)" Christ "and" the Lamb "(7).

Many years ago, one day I visited the Exeter Hall in London I was a Catholic priest then willy-nilly to be conducted to the room where a young gentleman doctor began to preach to a gathering of Christian Youth Association. "I repeat what I have said many times," said the doctor, "Jesus Christ must be what he says in the Gospel or to be the greatest impostor the world has ever seen! "I have never forgotten this dogmatic statement. What I meant is that Jesus was either the Son of God or the higher impostor. If we accept the hypothesis that a Christian first, a Trinidadian, if so, then you are a Jewish believer. But we have to accept either of these two propositions Muslims are naturally. We Muslims can not accept either of the two titles given to Jesus Christ in the sense that the churches and their Scriptures reliable to attribute to names. Not only is that "the Son of God," not just "the Son of Man," because if they are allowed to call God "Father", then not only Jesus, but every prophet and righteous believer, is primarily a "son of God." Similarly, if Jesus was indeed the son of Joseph the Carpenter, and had four brothers and several sisters married as the Gospels claim, then why should one assume this strange name of "the Son of man "which is common to any human being?
It seems that these Christian priests and pastors, theologians and apologists have a peculiar logic his own thinking and a fondness for mysteries and absurdities. Its logic has no way, regardless of the terms, and had no definite idea of the titles and names they use. They have an enviable taste irreconcilable and contradictory statements that only they can swallow like boiled eggs. One can believe, without hesitation, that Mary was both virgin and wife, Joseph was both wife and husband, James, Jossi, Simon and Judah were cousins of Jesus and his brothers, Jesus is perfect God and perfect man, and that "the Son of God," "the Son of man," the Lamb "and" Son of David " are one and the same person! They feed on heterogeneous and conflicting doctrines that these terms represent, as greedy as an appetite they have for the bacon and eggs at breakfast. They never stop thinking and reflecting on the subject they love, adore the crucifix and the Almighty as if kissing the bloody dagger of the murderer of his brother in the presence of his father!
I do not think there is even one Christian in ten million is really an accurate or precise knowledge about the origin and true meaning the term "the Son of Man." All the churches and their commentators, without exception, will tell you that "The Son of God" takes the name "the Son of Man" or "Barnasha" out of humility and gentleness, not knowing that the Jewish apocalyptic scriptures in which Jesus and his disciples of the heart and the soul believes, did not predict a "Son of Man", which would be meek, humble, which has nowhere to lay his head, and be handed over of the criminals and killed, but a strong man with tremendous power and strength to destroy and disperse the birds of prey and wild beasts tearing and devouring the sheep and lambs! The Jews who heard Jesus speak of "the Son of Man" very well understood he was referring. Jesus did not invent the name "Barnasha" but borrowed from the Jewish apocalyptic writings: the Book of Enoch, the Sibylline Books, the Assumption of Moses, the Book of Daniel, etc. Let's examine The origin of this title "Barnasha" or "the Son of Man."
1. "The Son of Man" is the Last Prophet, which established "The Kingdom of Peace" and saved God's people from bondage and persecution of the idolaters powers of satan. The title "Barnasha is a symbolic expression to distinguish the Savior of the people of God, represented as the "sheep", and other idolatrous nations of the earth in several species of birds of prey, ferocious beasts and unclean animals. The Prophet Hezekiel is almost always by God as "Ben Adam", ie "the Son of man" (or Adam) within the meaning of a shepherd of the sheep of Israel. This apocalyptic prophet also some portions in his book. In his first vision that begins his prophetic book see also the sapphire throne of the Eternal the appearance of "the Son of Man." (l) The "Son of man" who is repeatedly mentioned as always the presence of God and above the cherubim not Hezekiel (or Ezekiel) le-I (2). He is the prophetic "Barnasha" the last prophet, who was appointed to save the people of God from the hands of the infidels, here on this earth, and nowhere else!
1. Ez. i. 26. 2. Ez. x. 2.
(A) "The Son of man", according to the Apocalypse of Enoch (or Henoh).
There is no doubt that Jesus Christ was very familiar with the Apocalypse of Enoch, which is believed writing by the seventh patriarch from Adam. For Judah, "the brother of James" and "servant of Jesus Christ," who is the brother of Jesus, believes that Enoch was the real author of the book that bears his name (l). There are some scattered fragments-tion of this wonderful Revelation preserved in the prices of the early writers Christians. The book was lost long before Photius. Only on the beginning of last century that this important work are in the Canon of Scripture that pertain the Abyssinian Church and the Ethiopian translated in German by Dr. Dillmann, with notes and explanations (2). The book is divided into five parts or books, and all contains one hundred and ten chapters of unequal length. The author describes the fall of the angels, their illicit trade with the daughters of men, giving birth to a race giants to invent all sorts of artifice and harmful knowledge. Then the vice and evil increase to the extent that the Almighty punishes them all with the flood. Also refers to his two trips to the skies and around the world, guided by good angels, and the mysteries and wonders he saw in him. In the second part, which is a description United for Peace, "the Son of Man" catches of kings in the middle of his voluptuous life and precipitated into hell (3). But this second book does not belong to one author, and certainly is much more damaged by Christian hands. The third book (or part) has some strange ideas and developed astronomy and physics. The fourth part presents an apocalyptic vision of humanity from the beginning to the day Islam, which the author styles "Messianic times in two symbolic parables or rather allegories. A white bull out of the earth, then a white cow joins him to give birth to two cubs, one black, one red, the black bull rhythms and drives away red, and then encounters a cow giving birth to several offspring of black, until the mother cow leaves the black bull in search of the red, and as she did not meet, screams and cries aloud, when a red bull appears and begins to propagate their species. Of course, this transparent parable symbolizes Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Seth, etc. up to Jacob, whose descendants are represented by a "herd of sheep" – as the chosen people of Israel, but the descendants of his brother Esau, ie the Edomites, is described as a swarm of wild boar. In the second parable, the sheep flock is often harassed, attacked, dispersed, and killed by wild beasts and birds of prey until we came to call the messianic era, when the flock of sheep were again fiercely attacked by crows and other carnivorous animals, but a gallant "Ram" resists with great courage. It is then that "the Son of Man, who is the true owner or the owner of the herd, there to deliver to his flock.

A non-Muslim scholar can not explain the vision of a Sophea – or a seer. He – as we all do – reduce the vision of the Maccabees and King Antiochus Epiphanes in the middle of the second century BC, when the Liberator comes with a large baton or stick and hits right and left to the birds and beasts, so a great slaughter among them, the earth, opening her mouth, swallow them in, and the rest to take flight. Then the swords are distributed among the sheep, and leading a white bull in perfect peace and security.
In the sixth book, which contains religious and moral exhortations. All the work in its current form presents evidence to show that it was composed as late as 110 a. C., in the original Aramaic dialect, by a Palestinian Jew. At least as is the opinion of the French Encyclopedia.
The Quran only mentions Enoch under the name "Idris" – the Arabic form of the Aramaic "drisheen" be of the same category names as simple as "Iblis" and "Blis" (l) "Idris" and "drisheen" means a man of great scholarship, a scholar and a scholar of "darash" (Arabic for "Daris"). The text of the Quran says: "And mention Idris in the book, he was also a man of truth and a prophet, who have exalted. "Qur'an Ch.19 :56-57.
(1). "Iblis", the Arabic form of the Aramaic "Blis" un epíteto dado al diablo lo que significa el "golpeado Uno".
The Muslim commentators, Al-Baydhawi and Jalalu 'd-Din, seem to know that Enoch had studied astronomy, physics, arithmetic, he was the first who wrote with the pen, and that "Idris" means a man of much knowledge, which shows that the Apocalypse of Enoch was not lost in time.
Following the closing of the canon of the Hebrew Scriptures in the fourth century or so BC by "Members of the Great Synagogue, established by Ezra and Nehemiah, the rest of the sacred or religious documentation, in addition to those included in the canon was called Apocrypha and excluded from the Hebrew Bible by an assembly of learned and pious Jews, the last of which was the famous "Simeon the Righteous", who died But in 310 BC, these include the Apocrypha in the Apocalypse of Enoch, Baruch, Moses, Ezra, and Sibyline books, written at different times between time of the Maccabees and after the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus. It seems to be very fashionable with the Jewish sages to compose religious apocalyptic literature under the name of someone famous from antiquity. The Revelation at the end of the New Testament which is named after John the Divine is not an exception to this old habitude Judeo-Christian. If "Judah, the Lord's brother" could not believe that "Henoh the seventh from Adam" was really the author of the chapters one hundred and ten having that name, not surprisingly, Justin the Martyr, Papias, and Eusebius believes in the authorship of Matthew and John.
However, my goal is not to criticize the author of, or extend the comments on these enigmatic and mysterious revelations that collected in the most painful and difficult history of the Jewish nation, but to account for the origin of the name "Son of man" and to shed some light on its true meaning. The Book of Enoch also, as the Revelation of the Church and as the Gospels, about the coming of the Son of Man "to liberate the people of God from their enemies and confuse vision with the Last Judgement.
(B) The Sibylline Revelation, which was composed after the final fall of Jerusalem by the Roman armies says that "the Son of Man will appear and destroy the Roman Empire and to provide believers in one God. This book was written at least eighty years after of Jesus Christ.
(C) We have already given an account of "The Son of Man" when it comes to the vision of Daniel, (l) is presented to the Almighty and invested with power to destroy the Roman beast. Hence the visions in the
"Assumption of Moses," in Book Baruch (or Barukh), more or less similar in their views and expectations to those described in the aforementioned "Revelations", all unanimously describe the Liberator God's people as "Barnasha" or "the Son of Man" to distinguish it from the "Monster", because the former is created in God's image and the second transformed into the image of Satan.

2. The apocalyptic "Son of man" can not be Jesus Christ.
This name, "Son of Man," is absolutely irrelevant the son of Mary. All claims of so-called "gospels" that make the "Lamb" of Nazareth "get kings among his voluptuous life and thrown down into hell "(1) the lack every bit of authenticity, and the distance separating it from" the Son of Man "who walks with legions of angels in the clouds to the throne of the eternal is more than our planet from the planet Jupiter. He may be a "son of man" and a "messiah", as every Jewish king, prophet, and high! priest, but he was not "the Son of Man" or "Messiah" whom the Hebrew prophets and doomsayers predicted. And the Jews were perfectly right to deny that title and office. Were clearly wrong to deny his prophethood, and penalties shed innocent blood – as they and the Christians believe. "The Assembly of the Great Synagogue" after Simeon's death in 310 BC only, was replaced by the "Sanhedrin", whose president was the name of "Nassi" or prince. It is amazing that the "Nassi" who approved the trial Jesus, saying: "It is more profitable than a man should die instead of the whole nation should be
destroyed "(2) was a prophet (3): if it were a Prophet, how was he did not recognize the prophetic or messianic nature of the "Messiah"?
(1). Enoch xlvi. 4-8. (2). John xi. 50. (3). Idem, 51.
These are then the main reasons why Jesus was not "the Son of Man" nor the apocalyptic Messiah:
(A) A messenger of God is not the task of pro-phesy about himself as a character in some future time, or to predict its own reincarnation and so presented himself as "the hero in some great drama future of the world. Jacob prophesied of "the prophet of Allah" (1) Moses about a prophet who would follow him to law, and Israel was exhorted to "obey, (2) Haggai prophesied Ahmad (3), Malachi predicted the arrival of the "Messenger of the Covenant" and Elijah, (4), but never any of the prophets prophesied about his own second coming in the world. What is extremely abnormal in the case of Jesus is that he's done to fake his identity to "the Son of man", however, is not capable of doing as little as the work that the announced "Son of Man" is expected to achieve! Declare to the Jews in the grip of Pilate that he was "the Son of Man," and then to pay tribute Caesar, and confess that "the Son of Man had nowhere to lay his head", and then to postpone the release of people from the Roman yoke an indefinite future, was practically playing for his country, and those who put all these inconsistencies as words in the mouth of Jesus only make fools of themselves.
(1) Genesis xlix. 10. (2) Deut. xviii. 15 (3). Hag. ii. 7. (4) of the LMA. iii. 1, iv. 5.
(B) Jesus knew better than anyone in Israel that " Son of Man "was and what was his mission. He was to dethrone the kings wasteful to throw them into the fire of hell." Apocalypse of Baruch " and Ezra – The Fourth Book of Esdras in the Vulgate – speak of the appearance of "the Son of Man", which established the powerful kingdom of peace on the ruins of Roman Empire. All these revelations apocryphal show state of mind of the Jews about the coming of the Liberator of last the last name "of the Son of man "And" the Messiah. "Jesus could not ignore and not-familiar with this literature and the ardent expectation of his people. I could not take either of those two titles himself in the sense that the Sanhedrin – the Supreme Court in Jerusalem – and Judaism together with them, because it was "the Son of Man" and "the Messiah" because he had no political agenda and no social system, and because he was the precursor of the "Son of Man" and "Messiah" – the Adon, the Prophet conquest, anointed and crowned Sultan of the Prophets.
(C) A critical examination of name "Son of man" to eighty-three times in the mouth of the teacher and should lead to the only conclusion that was never appropriated it for himself; and in fact often used that title in the third person. A few examples will suffice to convince us that Jesus applied this name to another person who was to appear in the future.
(I) A clerk, a wise man says: "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay your head. "(1) The following verse is denied one of his followers on a mission to go and bury his father! You will not find a saint, the father, and commentators have trouble with the head or the faculty of reason to discover the meaning set forth in the very simple Jesus' refusal to allow Type learned to follow. Si hubiera lugar para trece cabezas que sin duda podría proporcionar un lugar para la decimocuarta también. In addition, he could have been recorded among the supporters seventies there (2). The clerk in question was not a fisherman ignorant as the sons of Zebedee and John, was a scholar and a practicing attorney. There is no reason to suspect his sincerity, he was led to believe that Jesus was the Messiah predicted, the Son of Man, who at any time could summon his heavenly hosts and mount the throne of David his father. Jesus, knowing the misconception of Type, and clearly understand that there was no two square meters of land on earth to lay his head, of course, could not be "the Son of Man! It was hard for the Scribe, which he graciously saved from wasting their time in pursuit of a vain hope!
(1). Matt. viii. 20 (2). Luke x. 1
(Ii) Jesus Christ is said to have declared The Son of man "to separate the sheep from the goats." (1) The "sheep" symbolize the Israelites believe that will enter the kingdom, but " goats "means the unbelieving Jews who had joined with the enemies of true religion and were thus doomed to perdition. This was almost what the Apocalypse of Enoch had predicted about the Son of Man. Jesus simply confirmed the revelation of Enoch and gave it a divine character. He himself was sent to encourage the sheep of Israel (2) to remain in the faith useful to God and wait patiently for the arrival of the Son of Man came to save his enemies forever, but he himself was the Son of Man, and had nothing to do with politics, nor with the "sheep" and "goats", which rejected both equally and despised him, except a very small number who loved and believed in him.
(1). Matt. xxv. 31 to 34. (2). Matt. xv. 24
(Iii) The Son Man is said to be "Lord of the Sabbath," ie, he had the power to repeal the law that made a holy day of rest from work and work. Jesus was a strict observer of the Sabbath, the day he used to attend services at the temple or synagogue. Explicitly commands his followers to pray for the collapse national destruction of Jerusalem should not happen on a Saturday. How, then, Jesus claims to be the Son of Man Lord of the Sabbath, while he was obliged to observe and keep as every Jew? How could I venture to say that the title proud and predict the destruction of the Temple and the Capital?
These and many other examples show that Jesus could never appropriate, the name of "Barnasha" himself, but attributed to the Last Prophet powerful, you really saved the "sheep", ie the Jews believe, and be destroyed or dispersed the unbelievers among them; abolished the Sabbath, established the Kingdom of Peace, and promised that this religion and the kingdom will last until Judgement Day
