1. An Intimation who shall be the Judge in that Day; The Son of Man shall come in his Glory. ⟨p. 99⟩That is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is not only a Son of Man, as the Prophet Ezekiel was often called, Son of man; but Jesus Christ is the Son of Man. He is that Son of Man whom Daniel in a Glorious Vision saw coming in the Clouds of Heaven; and that did receive a Kingdom and Dominion over all Nations. He is also said to be the Son of Man in that he is not only truly Man, but the Second Adam.
