Box 5.5 Son of God and Son of Man

Ancient people considered a son of God to be a divine being or a god himself, and a son of Man to be a man. But ancient times son of God also referred to a son of MAn, which is Jesus.

Son of man was used in several meanings such as to refer human suffering, to refer Jesus in a human body, and to refer a cosmic figure who is coming to bring the judgement of God at the end of time.
