I recently decided to look up the famous “son of man” passage from Daniel 7 in a Tanach commentary. My intention was to see what the Jewish interpretation of it was, since I grew up Christian and am used to seeing people apparently take it purely for granted that this vision blatantly could only be a prediction of Jesus as God Incarnate.
What I found was quite surprising. One would almost think this was a commentary on The Qur’an I was reading. Look at some of the phrases Rashi uses when discussing this chapter:
The Messiah coming to have dominion over the nations but still not as an incarnation of The Deity: check. This taking place shortly after apocalyptic wars with Gog and Magog: check. Something tells me this fellow didn’t get these things from us.
