db74/75 the similitudes of enoch and the gospels?!
In
the Similitudes
of Enoch, a Jewish writer
of sometime in the first century Anno Domini/CE
makes extensive use of the term "Son of Man" to refer to a particular divine-human Redeemer figure
eventually incarnated in the figure of Enoch, thus exhibiting many of the [later] elements that make up the Christ story.
[The throne of God, antecedents & early evidence: "We certainly find blurring lines between a human messiah & a heavenly or angelic deliverer in the Son of Man tradition!"/'Atiq Yomim'/'Ancient of Days'/'Head of Days'/'haRuach haKadosh']
...
Enoch's
"Son of Man"
is the descendant
in the tradition of Daniel's "one like a son of man."
In the Similitudes of Enoch (chapter 46), we are provided
with the following vision of Enoch the visionary speaker:
'THERE I SAW ONE WHO HAD A HEAD OF DAYS/ATIQ YOMIM,
AND HIS HEAD WAS LIKE WHITE WOOL. AND WITH HIM WAS ANOTHER,
WHOSE FACE WAS LIKE THE APPEARANCE OF A MAN; AND HIS FACE WAS FULL OF GRACIOUSNESS LIKE ONE OF THE HOLY ANGELS.
AND I ASKED THE ANGEL OF PEACE, WHO WENT WITH ME AND SHOWED ME ALL THE HIDDEN THINGS, ABOUT THAT SON OF MAN -
WHO HE WAS END WHENCE HE WAS [and] WHY HE WENT WITH THE HEAD OF DAYS ('de Oude van Dagen'
!
AND HE ANSWERED ME AND SAID TO ME,
"This is the son of man ('Ben{ha}Adam'
who has righteousness
..."'
In the Enoch text, just as in Daniel and in almost the same wording, there are two divine figures, one again who is ancient and one who has the appearance of a man, the appearance of a "son of man," a young man, or so it seems in contrast to the Ancient One. It is clear that Enoch knows exactly who the "head of days" is, but he wonders who Son of Man is, we do - the one who in Daniel comes with the Ancient of Days of the snowy beard & two thrones as well! By the end of the Similitudes of Enoch, as we saw already several times before & shall see a-gain, Enoch will have become that Son of Man,
much as Jesus does
in the Gospels?!
