The following Scriptures are about the Son of Man, a messianic term the Lord used for Himself in Scripture. I hope they strengthen and encourage you in your faith. If you have not placed your faith in Jesus Christ, I hope these Scriptures will cause you to re-evaluate your rejection of Him or apathy toward Him.
We begin in ancient Babylonia when Daniel, the prophet, (530 B.C.E.) had a vision of heaven. We then weave in and out of the New and Old Testament, ending in the last book of the Bible, Revelation.
Be strengthened and encouraged by what the Word reveals about our coming Warrior King and Priest, Jesus Christ! Carl
Daniel 7:9-10 – Daniel’s Vision Of The Ancient of Days and The Son Of Man
“I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His vesture was like white snow
And the hair of His head like pure wool.
His throne was ablaze with flames,
Its wheels were a burning fire.
[10] A river of fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
Thousands upon thousands were attending Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The court sat,
And the books were opened. …
Daniel 7:13-14
[13] “I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
[14] “And to Him was given dominion,
Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations and men of every language
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.”

[10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet…
[12] Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw…
[13] … One like unto a Son of Man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.
[14] His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. [15] His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.
[16] In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.
[17] When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man.
And He placed His right hand on me, saying,
“Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
[18] and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
Colossians 1:15-22 – Who the Lord Jesus Is.

[16] For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created through Him and for Him. [17] He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [18] He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. [19] For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him…”

[2] … whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…

Take warning, O judges of the earth.

For His wrath may soon be kindled.

and sitting on the cloud was one like the Son of Man,
having a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.
[15] And another angel came out of the temple,
crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud,
“Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come,
because the harvest of the earth is ripe.”

and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle,
saying, “Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth,
because her grapes are ripe.”
[19] So the angel swung his sickle to the earth
and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth,
and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
[20] And the wine press was trodden outside the city,
and blood came out from the wine press,
up to the horses’ bridles,
for a distance of two hundred miles. …

And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?
[3] “I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me.
I also trod them in My anger
And trampled them in My wrath;
And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I stained all My raiment.

And My year of redemption has come.

So My own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.

And made them drunk in My wrath,
And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

He has given them over to slaughter…

“ KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” …
Conclusion
What a mighty Lord and Savior we serve, a Warrior King and Priest. He is coming to deliver the true Body of Christ and to reveal Himself to the nation of Israel and save her from all of her enemies. The Messiah is coming in a second advent to finish what He started in the first advent.
Are you ready to meet Him Christian? Are you ready to meet Him lost person? That is the question.
