A (r) as a man, the myth of Jesus' resurrection
Jesus refers to himself frequently as the Son of man ( bar nascha ). This is in Aramaic, the language of Jesus first of all nothing but a way of speaking of modesty and restraint. Instead I used the indirect son of man. Instead one could also say: A man like me ... For example, in the words of Jesus: "When the Son of man, no place where he could lay his head = A person like me has no place where he could lay his head."
also if it is not likely to be covered by the Aramaic, opened up for me for Jesus in this manner typical of self-description still has another meaning. I recognize this as the expression of a deep solidarity with the fate of every human being in general. Jesus as a man for others as it is sometimes called.
It is not surprising if this was self-designation of Jesus among parts of his followers after his death a special meaning. It was expected the coming of the Son of Man on or in the clouds of heaven to the Last Judgement as a prelude to redesign the world. It may thereby influences from the contemporary Judaism have played, the son of a man, also know as Enzeitgestalt.
particular, however, is the Influence of vision Daniel (Dan 7:13) unmistakable. Daniel sees in a dream, such as four different animal forms appear to look terrible to suffer symbols for the various foreign powers, under which Israel had. They are followed as a last dream one like a son of man , with Daniel not to be interpreted as a particular man, but as an image of the renewed and liberated Israel.
Will you hertsellen a relationship between this vision of Daniel and Jesus, then opened up an interesting perspective. In what Jesus says and does, flashes repeatedly to the vision of a future form of a (r) m as a human being. A / a as a man is the image of a transformed humanity hope. The expectation of the coming of the Son of man is now getting a completely different meaning. It becomes a manifestation of the New Man , the Jesus in word and action was already beginning way visible. The coming of the Son of Man on the clouds is the new man on the rise ! To him, the Son of man in the garb of the eschatological judge decided here and now, successful or failed humanity. So far as all time is coming of the Son of Man.
