Daniel 7:13-14
13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Some Christians think that this is in our future but I believe that the bible shows us that it happened on the day of Jesus accession and it was the same time as Revelation 12:5-10
Jesus’ Accession...was Jesus LEAVING EARTH, returning to Heaven.
Jesus’ RETURN to Earth...is Daniels VISION, is Johns REVELATION.
Daniel 7:13-14 is clearly given a VISION (a seeing of a future REVEALING) Daniel was given (ABOUT) one like a son of man, “COMING WITH the clouds of heaven”.....(Coming not ascending)
John was given a REVELATION (a word and seeing of a future Manifestation, that ALL men would Hear and SEE)....WHEN Jesus Comes DOWN FROM Heaven....(Coming not ascending)
Rev 1
[
1] The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
John, a Servant of Jesus Christ, was given Jesus Christ’s Revelation...via an Angel messenger of Jesus Christ.
John’s “spirit” was called “up” to “hear and see” what
would be Manifested in the future that ALL men...believers, non-believers, bodily alive, bodily dead, above the earth, on the earth, under the earth, in the seas....WOULD themselves...See....”The appearance of one like the son of man Coming (down from Heaven) WITH Clouds”.
Rev 1:
[
7] Behold,
he cometh with clouds ; and
every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Rev 4 ....(after this...ie John hearing Jesus’ revelation about the Churches)...THEN...A door was opened in Heaven...and Johns “spirit” called UP (by HEARING the summoning sound of a trumpet and then SEEING a door opening, by which Johns “spirit” entered)....to be REVEALED to John’s “spirit”....by hearing and seeing....WHAT shall come to pass...in the future...manifested for ALL men to see.
[
1] “After this” I
looked and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I
heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said,
Come up hither, and
I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. ^ FUTURE...Manifested to be seen and heard...BY ALL
[
2] And immediately I was
in the spirit ..
I am, included as being...”one of all men”....and I have NOT YET personally, SEEN one in the likeness as the “Son of Man”, descending (Coming DOWN) from Heaven “WITH CLOUDS”.
I believe Daniel....Was given a VISION (during the night, as indicated), ie given “his soul”, during his sleep hour, in a dream, simply called a vision, given Daniel, via Gods Power. And Daniel, in his waking hours, recalled his Vision, and recorded his VISION with pen and ink.....OF WHAT WOULD COME TO PASS....ie MANIFESTATION.
I believe John’s “spirit”.....Was given a VERBAL and VISUAL, via Gods Power, and recorded his VERBAL and VISUAL with pen and ink....OF WHAT WOULD COME TO PASS...ie MANIFESTATION.
I DO NOT BELIEVE...the Manifestation of the VISION given Daniel, nor the REVELATION given John...has COME TO PASS....ie BECOME Manifested.
The KEY to understanding...IS:
1) EVERY eye SHALL SEE one like the Son of Man DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN....WITH CLOUDS.
2) IF YOU HAVE NOT Heard or Seen ^ THAT....THAT has NOT YET come to pass (ie become Manifested).
Matt 24 gives us a comparable verification of Scriptural knowledge...
A sign of expectation that men can see....ie Lightening out of the East so brilliant the light shines to the West...
Then the sign men can SEE, the image of the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven....WITH....power and great glory.
Matt 24
[
27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.
[
30] And
then shall appear the sign of the
Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the
Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The Son of man, FIRST came to earth, Humbled, without reputation, in the likeness as a man, a Servant, without Clouds/ Angels, without Power.
The Son of man, Left Earth, having given man the True Knowledge of God; and that:
He would return ... in the likeness AS a man...for all men to see.
He would return ... With His Angels ... (only the spiritually quickened would spiritually See)
He would return ... With Clouds ... for all men to See.
He would return ... With Power ... for all men to See the Result of His Power...
* His POWER, God revealed to men (Matt 16:17)...that Jesus IS the Christ
* That Christ IS the Power of God (1 Cor 1:18)
* Revealed to men (in what Jesus called “THESE LAST DAYS” ( Heb 1:2 )
“These last days” were “finished,” When all Jesus was Sent to DO, was “accomplished.”
Foretold in Isa: 55:11
Revealed Accomplished: (finished) John 19: 28 & 30
There are “more last days” called “The last days”...
2 Tim 3:
[
1] This know also, that in
the last days perilous times shall come.
Also...(1 Pet 3:3)
And much more occurs....BEFORE.....it (Gods WILL for earthly mankind)
is “DONE”...(Rev 21:6)
This is Brief....however...Consider the Order and Way...step by step, bit by bit, little by little. (Isa 28:10)
Glory to God,
