Caesarea Philippi, nor who the Son of Man is (Matthew 16:13).
The same reasoning could apply to the following passage: "For as the Fatherhath lifein himself/ so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also"..,. "Has given him" indicates, that the power and life of the blood and flesh belongs to
God only, for he is the father incarnate Gohn 5:26-27). The Son of man means Son of God. Therefore, when God was manifested in the flesh he became God-Man.
Being God-Man, entitles Christ to be, "...The mighty God, The ever lasting Father^." (Isaiah 9:6). All power and authority belongs to Him to execute judgment. The government is upon the shoulder of the "child (God-

. prophet Zechariah declared, "And the LORD shall be king over all tne earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one"
th Matthew 26:24 and Acts 1:11, we realize that tne ^ n of Man is none else than God the Father incarnate who shall come
o e the earth. Christ the conquering Messiah in the title of a mighty man of war shown in Isaiah 42:13 is the white horse rider of Revelation chap ter 19, where He is called the Word of God, the King of Kings, and Lord of
^^Ithful and true, who reigns in righteousness and will "judge and make war." All this is implied when Jesus became the Son of Man (the ^ther incarnate). Surely Jesus "the Lord God omnipotent reigneth" (Revelation 19:6; 1:17-18).
