OUTLINE

5. A man:
5. Christ, as a man in His humanity, will be like a refuge from the wind and a covering from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shadow of a massive rock in a wasted land, and at the same time He will reign according to righteousness as the King, under whom there will be righteousness, protection, and enjoyment, in the millennium—Isa. 32:1-8.
6. Isaiah 53 unveils that Christ was a man of sorrows (v. 3) in His humanity to be our Redeemer in detail.
7. Christ, as a man in His humanity, was sitting on the throne of God above the firmament—Ezek. 1:26-28.
8. In Ezekiel 40—43 Christ, as a man in His humanity, measured the holy building of God for His possession among Israel in the millennium—40:3-5; 43:6-7a.
9. Christ, as a man in His humanity, was walking with the three friends of Daniel in the midst of the fire—Dan. 3:25.
10. In Daniel 10:4-19 the excellent Christ, the centrality and universality of God's move on the earth, as a man in His humanity, appeared to Daniel for his appreciation, consolation, encouragement, expectation, and stabilization.
11. Christ, as a man in His humanity, was with Israel in the suffering of their dispersion for God's eternal economy—Zech. 1:8.
12. Christ, as a man in His humanity, measured Jerusalem for His possession so that He would be her wall of fire round about and the glory within her—Zech. 2:1-5.
13. Christ as the Shoot of David (Zech. 3:8; Jer. 23:5; 33:15; cf. Isa. 4:2), as a man in His humanity, will build the temple of God, bear majesty, sit and rule on His throne, and be a priest on His throne, being the counsel of peace between the two—Zech. 6:12-13; Rev. 20:4, 6.
6. The Son of Man:
1. Psalm 80:15 and 17 say, "Even the stock which Your right hand has planted/And the son which You have strengthened for Yourself....Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,/Upon the son of man whom You have strengthened for Yourself":
1. These two verses refer to the oneness of Christ, as the Son of Man in His humanity, with the children of Israel (Hosea 11:1; Matt. 2:15b).
2. Christ, as the Son of Man in His humanity, was the stock of Israel planted by God's right hand and strengthened for God Himself; God exalted Him in His ascension by seating Him at His right hand (Psa. 110:1), the highest place in the universe, with the first place, the highest position, the preeminence.
2. Daniel 7:13-14 says, "Behold, with the clouds of heaven,/One like a Son of Man was coming;/And He came to the Ancient of Days....And to Him was given dominion,/Glory, and a kingdom,/That all the peoples, nations, and languages might serve Him./His dominion is an eternal dominion, which will not pass away;/And His kingdom is one that will not be destroyed":
1. Christ, as the Son of Man in His humanity, after He was cut off (Dan. 9:26), after He finished His earthly ministry through His crucifixion, went to God in His ascension to receive the kingdom (Luke 19:12, 15; Rev. 11:15).
2. He, as the Son of Man in His humanity, will be a stone cut out, not by human hands, to crush (Matt. 21:44) all the kingdoms of the world and become a great mountain, filling the whole earth in His kingdom for the carrying out of the eternal economy of God—Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45.
