Jesus

He breathed His Own Spirit into man:

He Who has created all things in the best possible way. He com-
menced the creation of man from clay; then produced his seed
from an extract of base fluid; then formed him and breathed His
Spirit into him and gave you hearing, sight and hearts. What lit-

I have become your father. Ask me, and I will make the nations your in-
heritance, the ends of the Earth your possession." (Psalms 2:7-8)

As also appears in other passages from the Torah, the concept be-

God will protect the devout people of Israel. This passage describes
how God will protect His beloved servants as a father protects his
sons.

man" in the following passage from the Book of Daniel 7:13-14 to the
misinterpretations of the Gospel and to claim that this refers to the di-
vine nature ascribed to Jesus. This is a totally false interpretation, how-
ever:

"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. He 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
