Chapter 27: The Son of Man Returns on Passover (Part 4)

Where else do we see "Son of Man" associated with? It is Passover!

The Gospel according to
St. John
12
The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
12 ¶ On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried,

Hosanna:
Blessed is the King of Israel
that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion:

behold, thy King cometh,
sitting on an ass's colt.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 ¶ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: Pand how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.
¶ These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

The Gospel according to
St. Matthew
26
The Leaders Plot against Jesus
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

The Gospel according to
St. Luke
24
The Resurrection
7 saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

It is pretty clear the Son of Man comes on Passover.

"The Son of Man’s Passover

Revelation 14:14-16

And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

This is an interesting, but puzzling passage describing a harvest that comes right before the treading of the wine press of God/harvest of the tares. This is certainly Jesus sitting upon this cloud waiting the command to thrust in His sickle. The crown He wears is a stephanos proclaiming His victory over death--the same crown the rider on the white horse is wearing in the 1st seal. He has not put on His reigning crown (diadem) because He has not yet come to rescue those that submit to His reign as described in Revelation 19. Therefore, we know that this is not a rapture or a resurrection, but a Passover for the last-day saints living during the plagues of God.

The term Son of Man is His favorite term for Himself. He used it many times as a title while here on earth. In the parable of the wheat and tares, it was the Son of Man that sowed the good seed. Jesus knows His own, so it will be the Son of Man that will mark His wheat for the angels of death to Passover in the time of God's wrath. Once the plagues begin to fall we know that Jesus has identified His own to the death angels."
