“It is hard to believe that any one in late Second Temple times could have recognized the phrase “the Son of Man” as an illusion to Daniel 7:13.” - Wow! If this is true it will change how I understand Jesus' interactions with the religious leaders of his day. If they didn't make the connection why would they accuse him of claiming to be king? Did Jesus have Daniel 7:13 in mind when he called himself Son of Man? Did the early Christians make the connection?

Just read this one recently. Bauckham is always great.
Can’t wait for the follow up on this
Thank you
