Introduction
Isn’t this the carpenter from Nazareth, whose father, Joseph, is also a carpenter. You know him, his mother is Mariam. He was born in Bethlehem, the city of king David, yes, that same place where lambs are reared for sacrifice in Jerusalem!
The Son of Man
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth.
Bridge Between Worlds Genesis 28: 12: And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. John, the Revelator, sees a huge crowd that no one can count. They come from every single nation, tribe, people, and language, standing and worshiping before the throne (see John chapter 7, verses 9-10). The great crowd of people that John the Revelator saw and could not count was standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Jesus) in heaven, wearing white robes and holding palm branches. Heaven and Earth are still connected; may we stay connected with Jesus and eventually have a place in that vast crowd of people that John envisioned.
