"Son of man" is the translation of one Hebrew and one Aramaic phrase used in the Hebrew Bible.
In Hebrew, the term is ben-adam, while in Aramaic its equivalent bar-adam is used.

It means "son of Adam" which is a reference to Jesus being the second Adam... or the last Adam spoken of in 1 Corinthians 15:45

1 Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.


It's surprising that Don Stewart doesn't even mention this in his article.

Why Did Call Himself The Son Of Man?

To fulfill the Prophetic Word of God.

God appointed Abraham Father of many Nations.

God established an Everlasting Throne and appointed an offspring of Abraham to sit on that Throne as King of Jerusalem.

That King, ie David, of the House of David, of the Son of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, who are sons of God, reveals:
He who Sits on King Davids Everlasting Throne, must ALSO be:
* A Lawful son of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, David…
* A Lawful son of God…

Inasmuch as God Appointed Abraham a father of many Nations….and Appointed David King of Jerusalem….and Appointed Jesus heir to King David’s Throne….
So shall Gods Word of Prophecy come to pass.

Mortal Human manKIND are IN the process of Choosing to be “INCLUDED” or “EXCLUDED”, from becoming Made “sons of God”.

Jesus was sent forth from Heaven, out of Gods mouth, to Earth, in the Likeness AS a human man, FOR human men, to SEE, to HEAR, to LEARN HOW TO become MADE in Gods LIKENESS, that THEY, WILL one day occupy the Earth, In the Likeness of God, with God, (VOID of all mortal men and VOID of all evil.) And God occupy the everlasting Throne in Jerusalem, King of the Whole Heavens AND Earth.

Why Did Call Himself The Son Of Man?

For the necessity of ignorant, natural manKIND to SEE, what he could not Believe by HEARING.

Glory to God,
Taken

I think of "Son of Man" as a reference to the Lord's humble servitude to the human race.
