In Proverbs, it was confirmed that the Son of Man was known by Name even before the existence of Creation.
There, the Son of Man, Who is called “Wisdom”, says: “The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was” – (Proverbs 8, 22 and 23).
We learn further in Proverbs the nature of the Task the Almighty Father assigned to the Son of Man:
“The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abiding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set compass upon the face of the depth.
When he established the clouds above. When he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he approached the foundations of the earth:
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.” – (Proverbs 8: 22 – 31)
The Son of Man says: “For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8: 35 – 36
In the Revelation, the Son of Man promised: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” – (Revelation 21: 6) – Ibid
“And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even (that is), the Son of Man which is in heaven.” – (The True Mission of the Son of God, Jesus, by Ademola Adeyemi, – Page 71.
Threefold information here:
- The Son of Man was in Heaven when Jesus was on earth;
- The Son of Man had already been on earth and returned to heaven at some time before Christ spoke these words; and
- The “Heaven” Christ referred to in this statement is the Abode of His Almighty Father above, accessible to only Those Who are Parts of the Father, the Trinity alone.
