After which Israel is to reign supreme (7:27). These passages seem to have led
Jesus to depict the arrival of the Son of Man from heaven as initiating the

coming judgment and the redemption of Israel.

The theme appears in numerous passages in the Synoptic Gospels (see Tables 2,

3, 4, and 5)

Table 4: Son of Man comes like lightning or the great flood Matthew 24:27,

37-39 Luke 17:24, 26, 27, 30

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be

the coming of the Son of Man.... 37For as the days of Noah were, so will be the

coming of the Son of Man.

38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying

and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark,

39and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too
will be the coming of the Son of Man.

For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so

will the Son of Man be in his day.... 26Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too
it will be in the days of the Son of Man.

27They were eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage,

until the day Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of
them.... 30[I]t will be like that on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

Table 3: Son of Man, glory of Father, angels, some will not taste death

Matthew 16:27-28 Mark 8:38-9:1 Luke 9:26-27

For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and
then he will repay everyone for what has been done.

28Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before

they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.
