Genesis Genesis 28:1-22
Six canonical first-mentions in twenty-two verses. A single Hebrew root holds the ladder, the LORD, and the stone. The Greek of Genesis 28:12 in the Septuagint is the Greek of John 1:51 — with one substitution. Jesus is the ladder.
Daniel Daniel 2; 7; 8
Daniel 2 says the fourth kingdom has dual legs and iron that persists into the feet — both East and West Rome together, divided yet still iron, mingled but not cleaving. Daniel 7's little horn from the fourth beast and Daniel 8's little horn from one of four Greek divisions are the same end-time figure, ended by the same stone cut without hands.
Matthew 3:2
1 Enoch 37-71
The Parables of Enoch contain the most developed pre-Christian Son of Man figure in any Jewish text. But the Parables are the section with no Qumran witness, no NT citation, and no Greek or Aramaic manuscript. What does this mean for the Son of Man question?
