NOTES for Dan 7:13-14
God develops His relationship with humanity as a dialogue unfolding through time. He lets the prophet Daniel see how the Son of Man receives power and glory from the heavenly Father; then the Son of God, who came in the flesh, calls Himself the Son of Man so that people can relate this to the prophecy they know. When a person responds and confesses the Son of Man as the Son of God, as Peter did, a new revelation is given to him: the Transfiguration of the Lord, foreshadowing the coming Resurrection, so that the disciples may later meet and recognise the Risen One.
And the dialogue does not end there; it never ends. The fullness of Revelation is in Christ Jesus, but the unfolding of that fullness is a dynamic process taking place in the Church, which preserves everything it has received and guides all nations towards a deeper relationship with God.
