Son of Man
John 5 shows us the Son quickening whom He will in virtue of His divine glory, and it declares that all judgment is committed to Him as Son of man. This title refers to His assumption of that nature in which He is first rejected, and secondly, exalted as universal Lord and Judge. (See Psa. 8 compared with Heb. 2, Dan. 7, and the Gospels.) Also He is seen as "the Son of man" in connection with the judgment of the seven churches in Rev. 1. That is why cherubim as the witness of judgment were wrought on the veil, the type of His flesh.
