Son of Man: The Gospel of Daniel 7
Jesus never used the title Messiah publicly and, instead, referred to Himself as the Son of Man 78 times. Why?
The New Testament Gospels, as they are written, depend on Jesus' use of Daniel 7. Jesus referenced this chapter far more than any other to reveal Himself as the divine Human and to declare His gospel.
Jesus’ first-century audience understood His message, but we have lost sight of the way Jesus presented His gospel. Our understanding of Jesus, our grasp of the biblical story, and our ability to clearly communicate the gospel have been hindered by not fully understanding how Jesus used this one particular chapter. Based on Jesus’ words, Daniel 7 is not simple an "end time" vision, it is the most concise and complete summary of the gospel and, perhaps, the premier summary of His identity. And if we do not know this chapter, we cannot fully grasp the gospel Jesus proclaimed and commissioned His church to carry.
Let Daniel open your eyes to the gospel as Jesus proclaimed it.

It feels like God is awakening our generation. We may be standing at the edge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ being preached in every corner of the world and then the King will come, heaven may break open, and we will all see Him, Jesus, the Son of Man.
Son of Man feels like a response straight from God’s heart to our generation, and I truly believe every Christian should read it. I’m not saying it brings a new revelation, but rather it points us back to something that has always been there. When we see Jesus not only as the Son of God but deeply as the Son of Man, how He repeatedly referred to Himself above any other title, it becomes incredibly meaningful to understand.
I came to this book after reading Maranata by Mariano Sennewald, which is an excellent book as well, and Son of Man felt like a powerful continuation of that journey. 📖🔥✨

Though the size of the volume can be intimidating, this is a highly worthwhile read!
It is incredibly illuminating to re-understand how Jesus presented Himself primarily as Son of Man, or plainly put, as God in the flesh in the gospels, based off Daniel 7, which in itself carries the core message and gospel of Christianity.
Whitefield puts his points and arguments across clearly as well, and a highly recommended read for a biblical Christology.
