db81/82 here the son of man is clearly occupying
his throne of glory, seated, perhaps, at the right hand of the Ancient of Days.
IT IS HARD TO ESCAPE THE CONCLUSION THAT THE SON OF MAN IS IN FACT A SECOND PERSON, AS IT WERE, OF G D?
And all of the functions assigned to the divine figure called "one like a son of man" in Dani'el 7 are given to this Son of Man,
who is also called, as we have seen, the Christ!
AND ENOCH WAS WITH G D: THE APOTHEOSIS OF ENOCH!
One of the most striking aspects of the doctrine of Christ is the combination in one figure of man and G d:
even this radical idea, however, is not unique among Jews to followers of Jesus.
We can find them in the Similitudes as well! In the main body of the Similitudes, Enoch is
NOT
the Son of Man.
This is emphatically the case, since in chapter 46 and throughout the main nobody of the text,
he is the one who sees the Son of Man and to whom is revealed the description of the Son of Man
as the eschatological Redeemer and Messiah; therefore Enoch cannot be identical with him.
In the end, however, in chapters 70 & 71, Enoch
becomes the Son of Man ~
he becomes G d!?
In these chapters we have a remarkable exaltation scene: in chapter 70,
we are told of Enoch in the third person:
"AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THIS
[that],
WHILE HE WAS LIVING,
HIS NAME WAS LIFTED FROM THOSE WHO DWELL UPON THE DRY GROUND
TO THE PRESENCE OF THE SON OF MAN
and
TO THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD OF SPIRITS. AND HE WAS LIFTED ON THE CHARIOTS OF THE SPIRITS, and his
name vanished among them!"
We have here
a midrashic expansion
of the famous Enoch verse from Genesis that
"ENOCH WALKED WITH G D AND HE WAS NOT":
that is, an instance of apotheosis,
of a special human becoming
divine.
In our
modern ears
& eyes we would be tempted
to call this science fiction
or 'alien encounters'
with UFO's
