Tim: Let's go to the immediate reference point - most likely where he got the phrase and it's of course, it's a phrase that comes from the Hebrew Bible or in this case in Aramaic text within the Hebrew Bible. The image has been regarded as illustrating a number of different passages from the Bible. For the later Byzantines the etimasia was the "sign of the Son of man" of Matthew 24:30: Parani, Maria G., Reconstructing the reality of images: Byzantine material culture and religious iconography (11th-15th centuries), Volume 41 of The medieval Mediterranean: Peoples, Economies and Cultures, 400-1453, BRILL, 2003, ISBN 90-04-12462-4, ISBN 978-90-04-12462-2, google books Tim: My hunch is that Paul's viewing Jesus as Son of Man reference to himself in light of the bigger biblical story. So, he uses a wider set of vocabulary just like the Bible does. Then two, I think it's been Son of Man is a Hebrew phrase that doesn't translate. And Paul's main mission is to translate the Hebrew biblical story into international terms. So he starts using new vocabulary. He talks about Jesus is the new human in Ephesians or the image of God, which as we're going to see is huge overlap with the Son of Man. Each of the Five Elders is in charge of particular area of politics, and hold the title Warrior God ( 武神 , Bushin ?, VIZ: "Godhead") akin to a minister. These positions are as follows: [10] Warrior God

You don't find Paul or James or Peter in their letters calling Jesus the Son of Man. That phrase doesn't appear. It was Jesus' phrase to talk about himself. Then as followers went on to spread the movement, they referred to him not as the Son of Man, but by a variety of titles. Christ, the anointed one being the main one. That's just an interesting puzzle. The New Testament scholars have for generations puzzling over and trying to figure out. The "empty throne" had a long pre-Christian history. An Assyrian relief in Berlin of c. 1243 BCE shows King Tukulti-Ninurta I kneeling before the empty throne of the fire-god Nusku, occupied by what appears to be a flame. [4] The Hittites put thrones in important shrines for the spirit of the dead person to occupy, and the Etruscans left an empty seat at the head of the table at religious feasts for the god to join the company. [5] A somewhat controversial theory, held by many specialists, sees the Israelite Ark of the Covenant, or the figures of the cherubim above it, as an empty throne. [6] A throne with a crown upon it had been a symbol for an absent monarch in Ancient Greek culture since at least the time of Alexander the Great, [7] whose deification allowed secular use for what had previously been a symbol for Zeus, where the attribute placed on the throne was a pair of zig-zag thunderbolts. [8] The three pillars of the postwar foreign policy that America created—strong alliances, open markets, and commitment to democracy and human rights—are under threat from a president who sees little value in them, according to the authors. “[Trump] didn’t see global leadership as the solution to what ailed America. To the contrary. He saw it as the problem,” they note. One Piece Manga — Vol. 107 Chapter 1086 (p. 14), Ivankov mentions the Five Elders as the highest authority among the Celestial Dragons. Britain, early tenth century AD: a time of change. There are new raids by the Vikings from Irland, and turmoil among the Saxons over the leadership of Mercia. A younger generation is taking over.

In 911 AD, Uhtred of Bebbanburg's son, also named Uhtred, ambushes a small band of Norse raiders in the north of Mercia and brings the captives and plunder to Aethelflaed, who instructs him to take them to Gloucester, where the Mercian Witan is about to convene. Tim: It happens again in his trial. This is right below in the example where Jesus is questioned by the high priest, by the anointed one. In Mark 14, the high priest says, "Are You the Messiah, the Son of the blessed one?" Jesus says, "I am." In Matthew, he says, "You say I am." And then his next line is, "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand and so on."

Three months before the Egghead Incident, they got an anonymous call from York, who leaked information to them about Vegapunk doing and continuing the research on the Void Century. This led to them to deploy a CP0 squad of Rob Lucci, Kaku, Stussy, and the Seraphim-unit S-Bear to assassinate Vegapunk and all his satellites. [35] One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 90 Chapter 908 (p. 14-17) and Episode 889, The Five Elders go to the Empty Throne and bow before Imu, asking about the next "light" to be extinguished from history. When Luffy later temporarily disrupted their plans by capturing York, they were first formally introduced to Luffy, making it their first exchange, during which they tried to persuade him to reveal crucial information, though they were unable to do so. Later, when Saturn, who was at Egghead, saw Luffy in his Gear 5 form, he immediately recognized him as "Nika". Seeing Luffy severely weakened from his battle with Kizaru, Saturn attempted to kill him, only for Franky to foil him. One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 90 Chapter 907 (p. 16-17) and Episode 887, Shanks requests a private meeting with the Five Elders to discuss an important matter. The joint Guardianship just about kept peace with Edward I until 1300, and from then on it is clear that Bruce was intent on doing just about anything that would get him on the throne of Scotland. He swore fealty to Edward and even governed part of Scotland for him, but sometime around 1304-5, knowing that Edward was ill, Robert began to agitate for Scottish independence again, a cause that was given a massive boost by Longshank’s horrendous treatment and execution of William Wallace. Scotland’s greatest martyr truly inspired his country.

Jon: Right. There, it actually is linked. Being one of the types means I was born into that type. But it doesn't always mean that in Hebrew. Tim: Here's the puzzle. The most common word in the New Testament and throughout Christian history to refer to Jesus, most common title to connect it with him is Christ. The new novel in Bernard Cornwell's number-one best-selling series "The Warrior Chronicles", on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg. Tim: Yeah. And there's priestly overtones too because the priest was also called the anointed one. In Jesus' day, there's no kingdom of Israel anymore. When providing them with food it must be thoroughly examined by agents to confirm that it has not been poisoned, given their excessive paranoia and the risks associated with their high political status.
