Every man, with the exception of the first man Adam, is a son of man.  In the Old Testament the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel were called "son of man" by the angels.  In the New Testament, Jesus calls himself "the Son of man".  This does not mean that Jesus was the son of Joseph, but that he was a man, born of a woman, just like every other man.

==Commentary by William Branham==
 
===The Son of Man in his first coming===
:''He was the Son of man because He had come to reveal Himself to Israel as a Prophet, and they rejected it. And that was the prophecy that they should receive Him in, in the name of the Son of man, a Prophet, because it was according to the Word. Deuteronomy 18:15, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet likened unto me." And when He come, He identified Himself in His ministry as a man, not a Son of God, Son of man! God is a Spirit. And He revealed Himself as Son of man, what He claimed to be. And they was blinded and couldn't see it.''
::Sermon, The Trial, Tampla, FL, April 19, 1964
 
===The promise of the Revealing of the Son of Man===
:''Jesus, when He come, He was to be a prophet. That's right. And today, before Jesus comes again, the full manifestation of the Person of Jesus Christ is to be manifested in flesh. Think of it. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed." What is revealed? Unfolded, made known. The secret had been brought forth, revealed. In the day that the Son of man will be revealed, the world will be in a Sodom condition.''
::Sermon: Modern events made clear by prophecy, SBD, CA, Dec 6, 1965
 
:'Now, after His death, burial, and ascension, and the coming of the Holy Ghost, Paul on his road down--which was Saul--to Damascus, he was struck down by a Pillar of Fire, the Logos. And that Jew would've never called that Pillar of Fire, "Lord," unless he knew It was the same Logos that his people followed through the wilderness. See? Now, that was not the Son of man; that was the Logos.
:''Now, we say this with reverence, and love, and respect. See? As Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, and also that in the last days, as it was before Lot's time, or in Lot's time in Sodom, so shall it be in the day that the Son of man reveals Himself again, revealing Himself.
::Sermon: Q & A #2, Jeffersonville, IN, Aug 23, 1964
 
:''He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, what was it? A human being standing there with the Spirit of God in It, that said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?"
:''Said, "In the tent behind you." And she smiled to herself.
:''He said, "Why did she laugh?"
:''Jesus so much as said this, "That same thing will take place just before the fire falls to destroy the whole world. As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Oh, if you will just believe it.
::Sermon: Be not afraid, it is I, Phoenix, AZ, March 5, 1960.
 
===Jesus declared, but hidden in mystery===
:''Jesus when He started out, He started healing the sick and afflicted. "And oh, that great Rabbi, He's a prophet." And everybody wanted Him in his church, but when He set down one day and said, "I and My Father are One," that was different. That was different. That was different. "And except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you." "Why, he's a vampire." See, see? That was different. He didn't explain it. They'd already seen the manifestation, the a-vindication of the Word of God for His age made real and proved to them that He was that Messenger of that age. And He didn't have to explain nothing.''
:The Rapture, Yuma, AZ, Dec 4, 1965
 
===The Son of Man is a prophet===
:''He come as Son of man, a prophet, because that fulfills the Scripture. Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet like unto me." We all know that was Jesus. Don't we? So He had to come according to the Scripture, a prophet.
::Sermon: Does God Change his mind, LA, CA, April 27, 1965
 
===The Obedience of Christ===
:''Listen to what Jesus said. "Verily, verily..." that means "absolutely, absolutely," I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself. But what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise." Amen. Do you see, it isn't in man. It wasn't in the Son of man. It's in God. No flesh glories in His Presence. Jesus said, "I can't do nothing until the Father shows Me a vision; and when I see a vision, then I do it."''
::Sermon: Earnestly Contending, Karlsruhe, Germany, August 15, 1955
