Yeshua referred to Himself as the Son of Man much more frequently than the Son of God - actually, nearly twice as often. Why? Why is it important that He was the Son of Man? Paul referred to Him as he Last Adam, contrasting Him with Adam and contrasting His achievements with the failure of Adam that cost him and us so very much - fellowship with God, perfection of body, soul and spirit, dominion over the earth and eternal life. Life became much more difficult; one could perhaps say even ugly.

Yashua said that the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. Yes, in the context it would appear that He is talking about saving the lost sheep, but there is certainly a deeper meaning, too. Taking Romans 5:12-21 but especially verse 17, we find the reign of death being replaced by the reign of those who have accepted the free gift of righteousness. What does this mean but that dominion has been restored to us, and not only dominion but fellowship with God - whom we can now call “Abba, Father” - healing for body and spirit and eternal life. No, these things have not yet been fully fulfilled but the veil of separation has been removed from the Holy of Holies and there is a glorified man in heaven - our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.

But again: Why the Son of Man? In Exodus 21:23 we find the principle of recompense: “a life for a life”. When Adam fell, he sold himself into bondage to the evil one and the principle of death. As he became so too would his offspring be, for another principle is that what one sows that will he also reap. The illustration used in the lesson was that of a tree, Adam being the tree and we the branches growing on that tree - the branches are the same as the tree.

We were thusly sold into the dominion of death and bondage to sin and through our sinfulness, sinning ourselves we are also guilty of trespass and ourselves worthy of death.

Yeshua said that the Son of Man came to give His life as a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28) To ransom them from the dominion of death - with His life - “A life for a life” - a human life for human lives. We, those who are in bondage, are human; therefore, the ransom is a human life, a sinless human life, a man who had been tempted just as we are tempted but who did not succumb to the temptation and remained sinless. (Hebrews 2:14-15; 4:15)

Consider Romans 16:20. There we find that God will soon crush Satan under our feet. Looking back to the promise in Genesis 3:15 that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent, we see that Satan will be crushed by God under our feet. We are the body of Christ/Messiah, and it is under our feet that Satan will be crushed.

Praise be to God.

As I was listening to this teaching, I was thinking about how we, as believers, have been very negligent in allowing the enemy to run rampant in our lives and the lives of our loved ones. All this time, we have had it in our power to stop him. If I understand correctly, this means that we can tell the enemy to back off, and we can place the blood of Yeshua on the doorposts of our hearts. This blood on the doorposts was good for the whole household, right? It is the enemy who brings spiritual blindness and deceives our loved ones. So. . .. I’m thinking that we can exercise our dominion, and place protections over our loved ones and those that we pray for. And, this dominion should also be effective in healing sicknesses. Everything that Yeshua and His disciples did, we should be able to do, right? I pray that the Father will get us there.

This was a really meaty session, thanks. It’s amazing to think that Yeshua was a man, you’re right, we so often completely overlook that. I pray that the Lord will help this message sink in so that I might really understand what having dominion means and how to use it. Thanks for sharing your insight!

Our inheritance was lost. We lost fellowship with God, dominion of the earth, eternal life. Mankind was a shell of their former selves with no hope.
The Son of man gave us back everything by giving up his own life for us. Then taking it back again.
His crucifixtion and resurrection, our redemption is all with the son of man.
Ransom is a redemption price. He gave His life as the ransom for many!!! What Love for us. How beautiful to know that He was tempted in everything just like us but never violated the Torah, As the son of man, Yeshua had the perfect human life that Adam had before he had sinned.
I liked the analogy that Eliyahu gave that we were Pruned from Adam’s tree and grafted into Yeshua’s vine as believers.
No matter how hard we try, we end up falling short of perfect obedience to Torah. It convicts us to show we are sinners. Bless YahWeh and His Grace for sending Yeshua the Messiah as a man to release us of every sin and make us in right standing with fellowship with our Father plus returns our inheritance with dominion restored and eternal life. The Precious Blood of Yeshua has accomplished this for us who believe. Let’s imitate Him.
I needed this pep-talk today to continue to run the race and win.

I have listened to this teaching several times, but I find myself lost for words and unable to make a meaningful comment on the session. That is not because the session did not speak to me, quite the opposite in fact; I found it profoundly moving. It is the enormous scope of the whole thing that leaves me struggling for words. Just how and why Yeshua is the perfect sacrifice for us and how He fulfilled all of the requirements to ransom us are explained beautifully. I find it so hard to conceive how our Almighty Creator could think any one of us worthy, and how He could do such a precious thing for us. Yet He did, and we are redeemed by Him.

How Wonderful and Gracious He is. I am eternally thankful and I owe it to Him to take back dominion.

Another overwhelming lesson. Between this one and the last, my heart is so full of praises and love for my Messiah. I just dont know where to start with my comment :0)

For thousands of years man has lived in a lost condition. Praise Yahweh, that He had a perfect plan of Redemption. I am ever thankful that He has revealed Himself to me somewhere along the way. I cannot even say for certain the moment of my salvation. I just know from the time I was little I had a sense of Him, His presence. As I grew that sense only became stronger. I just know that He’s my Lord.
What He did for me is completely wonderful in every way. Grace, Grace, wonderful Grace.
For many years, even after knowing that He was my Lord, I continued to allow satan to rule my life. Even today there are many times that He does. As I said in the last program, I feel as if I’ve been liberated. I needed this message. I needed to understand, that I can reign victoriously NOW, I dont have to wait until He comes back. He wants me to walk with dominion now.
He wants me to be fully clothed with the “Armor of God” Eph. 6:11

Finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
For our struggle IS NOT against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and HAVING DONE EVERYTHING, to stand firm.

We dont battle flesh and blood. We fight unseen forces.
Messiah Yeshua modeled how “flesh and blood” should live. He was mans example. Thats why He had to come and do what He did as a man. He can relate to us in every sense. We have our example, now lets walk in Him. Lets not live defeated everyday. We can reign victorious now.

I needed this message, it will be one to listen to again and again. We need reminded that we have been REDEEMED!!!! Praise Yahweh.

Nearly a year after listening to this program, I still find some questions unanswered. I have read the scriptures that refer to Yeshua as the Son of Man, but without understanding the why’s and wherefore’s of it all. I have looked up the word used in the Brit Hadashah referring to Yeshua’s flesh being made up of “soft flesh material with blood.” No one has truly answered exactly how Yah accomplished this; therefore, I believe that I must take it by faith.

The one thing I have learned is that if I try to understand spiritual things with a natural mind, I will fail. As I grow in the grace and understanding of my Messiah, He will reveal all things to me that are necessary for life and shabbat guarding piety.

As I go back over some of these programs where I made comments based on teachings of other leaders; I listen with new ears and a new heart. I ask only that Yah will allow me to truly know and understand Him.

I am thankful for what Yeshua has done for me and given me. It is good to be reminded of the details of what He really accomplished for us. Yahweh’s plan is so awesome in scope that it is so amazing to know the price has been paid for all. Just as Adam’s debt is passed down to all. Through Yeshua’s perfection eternal life and dominion on earth is passed down to all who come to Him in faith and follow him.

Shalom Precious Family!

May I say what beautiful comments posted here.

May I add, sis gilahinYah, that Yahshua was birthed as one of us in the physical sense, with a “human” body, of flesh and blood, with a big BUT
that HE was of NO ‘human’ seed, as in natural/human conception.
So Yahshua has NO sinful nature/nephesh/spirit; otherwise HE could not be the blameless, acceptable sacrifice to ABBA YHWH as our Redeemer, and for all mankind.
Yahshua is the SEED/Word in our lives, that will bring forth HIS life in us, i.e. fruit to the lifting up of YHWH’s love, mercy and justice.
As YHWH Elohim created man/Adam from the dust of the earth, YHWH can create a Second Adam by HIS Spirit albeit through a human vessel, Miriam.
I find this exhilarating, and so exciting that we adore and serve this Amazing Creator, Who is also our ABBA and Redeemer!
We are so blessed and loved. -Ester

Jochanan 10:17-18: Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down by Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received from my Father.
No human being could have endured what Yahshua endured for us. He looked like a man; but, I have trouble believing His flesh was human.
He redeemed us through the things He did on earth. He took on the sickness and diseases of those he touched and healed. He suffered the death of an adulterous wife. He paid the blood price that it took to redeem us. He also said, “A body that has prepared for Me. Yahweh prepared a body for Him.
Quote from Our Last Days Meal, written by M. Koniuchowsky. “In Exodus 24:10–The bone, body or image of the heavens (the hebrew word was ke-etzem) is what the Yisraelite priest’s and elders saw with Moses. In order for them to have seen the bone of heavens, by definition there must be a body of heaven to contain the bone. No bone exists isolated from other bones, or a body covering in which to house the bones”.

He also wrote, “Prior to Adam and Eve’s fall, their bodies were pure. It was only after the fall that their bodies became cursed with the rest of the earth.
Then the bone/body/image/Word/Adam of heaven swung into action and became the second earthly Adam, to take the place of the first earthly Adam in flesh, bone and spirit”.

M. K. wrote “Yahshua’s body was the same material and form as when the priests and elders saw Him on Mt. Sinai and with whom they ate, drank, rested and gazed. This was the very body that was prepared in advance for mankind to look upon, in order to see Yahshua the Ahdahm Kadmon, so that mankind could receive His Torah and eventually His atoning death.”
As I read this book, I received these words and believed the arguments. The doctrine that Yahshua had human flesh does not make sense. It is the doctrine that the false religions teach. I would pray that anyone who believes that Yahsua had human flesh would truly seek the Father for complete understanding. Do not let pride get in the way of growing and developing as a talmidim of Yahweh.
Just as there are different parts of the Messiah’s body, so too are the revelations given to His leaders according to the porportion of faith. Human flesh can not contain the fullness of the Father.
May we all grow in the grace and faith of Yahshua our Messiah. Bblessings.
