13“In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

  1. Acts 1:9-11 echoes Daniel 7:13-14

    Strong allusion or echoMedium confidence

    Jesus is taken up in a cloud and promised to return the same way; Daniel saw one like a son of man coming with the clouds to receive an everlasting kingdom. The link is widely noted but Acts does not quote Daniel.

    Evidence:
    Other responsible views
    • Coming to the Ancient of Days: In Daniel the figure comes with clouds to the Ancient of Days, which some read as enthronement rather than return to earth; Jesus applies the clouds image to His own coming before the council (Matt 26:64), and Acts pictures both going and return with a cloud.

  2. Mark 2:10 echoes Daniel 7:13-14

    Strong allusion or echoMedium confidence

    Jesus's use of Son of Man as a title of authority, on earth to forgive sins and destined to suffer and rise, is most often traced to Daniel's vision of one like a son of man who receives dominion.

    Evidence:
    Other responsible views
    • An idiom for a human being: Some hold that in many sayings Son of Man is simply an Aramaic way of saying a man or this man, and that the link to Daniel is clear only in the sayings about coming with the clouds.
