I am currently working through a study of Mattithyahu (Matthew) offered free via the Blue Letter Bible Institute, and came across this following interesting information about the title: "The Son of Man," that Yahshua (and only Yahshua) used to refer to himself. Quote:Jesus exclusively uses this title of Himself. None of the gospel writers ever use if of Him. We do not find this title in narrative sections or in any commentary about Jesus. It is Jesus’ own title. In 26:24, He substitutes the term “Christ” with the Son of Man. The phrase simply means “a human being.” In Ezekiel the term means man contrasted with God, almost the idea of “little man.” There is no clear evidence that the term was used as a title in any Jewish literature. The title is derived from Daniel 7:13,14 which speaks of the future glory and triumph of the Son of Man who is a human figure. Jesus used this term with respect to His own rejection, suffering, and humiliation (8:20). Therefore, the term is wide-ranging and the meaning is fixed by Jesus’ own understanding of His unique mission. You can find the above .PDF here. What I thought was interesting here was the idea of a "little man" which seems to be consistent with the explanation given in YY - that Yahshua was/is a diminished form of Yahweh. However, in Daniel 7:13, you find the phrase, "Son of Enosh." Also, the phrase "Son of Adam" is used in Scripture. The following was taken from The Scriptures: Quote: “I was looking in the night visions and saw One like the Son of Enosh (1), coming with the clouds of the heavens! And He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. " (Daniel 7:13)
Footnote: 1. Son of Enosh - This Aramaic term is similar to the Heḇrew ‘Ben Aḏam,’ but not the exact equivalent of it. However, this Aramaic term indicates the same One! Obviously, if a title/reference is important enough for Yahshua to apply to himself, I would like to fully understand its import. Does anyone have any additional insights on this? -Yada |

Enosh is from the root anash , meaning mortal, frail, weak, sick, miserable, or incurable: used of a wound, grief, woe, sickness, or wickedness. The phrase would indicate "the child of mortality," or perhaps, "man of sorrows." That Yahshua fulfilled this role on our behalf is an amazing testimony to the lengths Yahweh was prepared to go to redeem us. He not only became a man for us, putting aside the trappings and privilege of deity for a time, but the man He became was frailty and woe personified---He took our wickedness upon Himself, and not "lightly" as a man carries a burden, but as a body hosts a deadly parasite or cancerous disease. Wow!
