Son of Man

The Son of Man is the title that Jesus uses the describe himself the most throughout the gospels. This, most scholars agree, is in reference back to Daniel 7. Here is vs 13,14--- I continued watching in the night visions,
and suddenly one like a son of man
was coming with the clouds of heaven.
He approached the Ancient of Days
and was escorted before him.
14
He was given dominion,
and glory, and a kingdom;
so that those of every people,
nation, and language
should serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that will not pass away,
and his kingdom is one
that will not be destroyed.
Is it not clear that the Son of Man is not the Ancient of Days and that Jesus is so exalted not because he is Yahweh but because the Father, the One true God, has given dominion, glory, a kingdom and purposed Christ-the Son of Man- to be worshipped and served?
