The Son of Man, and the Ancient of Days

Mark 14:60-63 gives us an account of Jesus trial before the Sanhedrin. We read the similar accounts in Matthew 26:62-66, and Luke 22:66-71. In these accounts He is asked by the High priest, and the others, if He is the Christ, the Son of God, to which He replies, "Yes I  Am."  He tells them that they will see Him seated at the right hand of the power of God, and that He will come on the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. This was enough for them, and they tore their clothes and cried out for His death. Lets look at the implications of what Jesus said.

• First of all He plainly states That He is the Christ, the Son of God. Its that plain for anyone who would doubt that Jesus ever claimed to be God. His testimony is recorded in the Gospel accounts and I have just provided you with three witnesses. 
• To sit at the right hand of God is another claim to His deity. This was an allusion to Psalm 110:1, a Prophetic Psalm of David pointing to The Messiah, the Son of God, and His eventual Kingdom. Now He waits until the consummation of the ages when He will come and establish His rule for ever. His accusers knew what He meant by what He said. He declared Himself to be the divine Son of God.
• When He states that He will come upon the clouds with power and great glory, the high priest and the others would have immediately known that He was referring to the passage in Daniel 7: 9-14. 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. A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him. Thousand upon thousands were attending Him, and myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, and the books were opened. Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire. As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time. 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. 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. 
•  Read Revelation 1:12-16. And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands.; and in the middle of the lampstands one like a Son of Man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His breast with a golden girdle. And His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire; and His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been caused to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. And 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. 

There can be no doubt, Jesus is the living Son of God. He is the Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end, The One who was, and is, and is to come. Amen and Amen (Rev 1:8). Right now Jesus is seated at the Father's right hand. This is a place of honor and glory reserved for no one else but the Son of God. He will come again! The kingdoms of this world will all come to naught, ending with the final Anti-Christ kingdom. Jesus will come and rule. He will receive the honor and glory and worship that belong only to God. Jesus is more than a man, more than a teacher, and so much more than a prophet. He is very God come in the flesh, crucified, risen, and coming again.
