“THE SON OF MAN”
A Lecture presentation by
Pastor Emmanuel Innah Household of God, Cross-River State, Nigeria
INTRODUCTION
I thank the Lord God Almighty for His great blessings that He has bestowed upon us to remember us; who were lost and now found whom He Himself came forth, leaving everything of His Glory and coming down taking our form. He came searching the earth to find and locate us in this remotest part of the world.
- Heb. 2:14 since, therefore, these His children share in flesh and blood in the physical nature of human beings, He Himself in a similar manner partook of the same nature, that by going through death He might bring to naught and make of no affect him who had the power of death-that is, the devil. Amp.
- Since God’s children are human beings, He (God) decided to come down in human form with the sole aim of redeeming His own.
- Today, there is One in our midst who is the dwelling place of God, a temple templing God, whose voice remain the voice of salvation in our day to those who reply, depend and are part of what God is doing in our own day.
- Today marks the 67 years of His sojourning here on earth with us in human form. 67 gruesome years, just to make sure that none of us gets lost. I say may His Holy Name be praised for ever more.
- We are happy and thankful to God, a God that has mercy on us, a God that loves us. We are happy and thankful to be here and to be a part of what God is doing in our own day to bear witness that today we have God on our side, a God who is able to lead and guide us and protect us and deliver us back to our eternal home.
- I will like us to rejoice in Him exceedingly as we consider this brief topic, “THE SON OF MAN” (The greatest and gracious gift to mankind).
I am the Son. I am the Father. I hold the Key to Hell and Heaven. I make laws and I cancel laws. I am the Supreme Authority, the Supreme Intelligence, the Supreme Judge, the Judge of all flesh. When you hear, “I am the Lord, the God of all Flesh”, where do you look at? See Him in your midst. The Lord, the God of all flesh, who said, “Is there anything impossible for Me to do?” For with Him all things are possible; both life and death.

A SPECIAL DAY: ANOTHER GREAT DAY; preached on Sunday 19th August, 2012 at the Household of God Onitsha; Pg. 146 vs. 10 – 11

“THE SON OF MAN”, WHO IS HE?
We are to understand that we are not considering son of man but the “The Son of Man.” We have son of man like Ezekiel, Isaiah, in fact all the prophets, were addressed as the son of man and so on.
- We all as sons of men, but this specific and unique Son of Man is our point of consideration.
- The Son of Man is the very one predicted by all the various prophets of various religion that should come with tremendous power and strength to destroyed the work of the enemy of God and to make sure righteousness reigns on earth.
- The Son of Man is seen as the last Saviour, Redeemer who establishes the kingdom of peace and righteousness on earth and saved the people of God from the power of Satan and his cronies. He is to come with truth which will deliver people of God from the hand of the devil.
- This Son of Man who is always in the presence of the ancient of days, he is the one that is appointed to save the people of God.
- All the religions and various sects unanimously describe the Deliverer of the people of God as the Son of Man to distinguish Him from the Monster, who is the devil.
- In the fourth book of Esdra Chapter 5 verse 56, the Prophet was asking the Almighty God through whom He (God) will visit the world and he got the answer in Chapter 6 of the same book in verse 1, that it will be through this unique Personality the Son of Man.
- 4 Esdra 5:56 Then said, I, On YAHWEH, I BESEECH You, if I have found favor in your sight, show your servant through whom You are going to visit Your creation.
- Chapter 6 verse 1. And He said to me, ‘At the beginning of the circle of earth, at first by the Son of man, and afterwards I myself. For the earth and the lands were created, and therefore the portals of the world were in place, and before the assembled winds blew.
- The world was created by the same being we are talking about. The Son of Man was before the foundation of the world before anything that was created came into being.
- Verse 6. Then I did planned these things, and they were all made through Me alone, and not through another: just as the end shall come through Me and not through another.
- The Almighty God is the One Who planned these things to be so.
- Prophet Daniel saw this personality in his night vision coming down with the Cloud and with great glory.
- Daniel 7:13–14. 13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
- 14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
- The Son of Man is an exalted figure, Who comes with “Clouds of Heaven,” has authority and power over all creation, eternally reigns over His kingdom, and is worshiped by every person on earth.
- This ought to show that the Son of Man is more than a mere mortal as people may think but He is a divine being who transcended beyond space and time to sojourn here on earth with us with the purpose of making righteousness and peace prevail all over the earth.
- THE SON OF MAN: The Bible said, “100% Man. 100% God.”
- The reference can be found in 2 Timothy 2:8. [8]Don’t ever forget the wonderful fact that Jesus Christ was a man, born into King David’s family; and that he was God, as shown by the fact that He rose again from the dead.
- Note one astonishing fact in this revelation of prophet Daniel. This Person whose appearance was that of a Man, having a human form depicted here as nothing but a fully divine being.
- This very Personality is the very one that rises from the sea and flies with the Clouds of heaven and is also a messianic figure as recorded in second Esdras Chapter 13 verse 25-26 but like that of the man in similitude in the vision of Daniel.
- THE GREAT SERMON AND HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED REVELATIONSNAND EPISTLES – REVISED EDITION 2019; Pg. 38 vs. 40. He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is a young man of medium stature and with a beautiful face … the radiance of his face shines like day in his hair, beard, and the blackness of his head and gives him greatness. (Al-Uqayli, Al-Najmu Al-Saqib).
- 2 Esdra 13:25-26. The man you saw coming up out of the sea represents the one who God Most High has kept ready for many ages. He will free the world he created and establish the new order for those who survive. Amen!!!
- This man that is pre-existence and a supernatural figure will establish a kingdom of righteousness, a land radiating with truth and righteousness and the inhabitants of that place are the righteous.
- This Personality Whom the Most High God has been keeping for many years has finally been revealed to us in this generation.
- THE SON OF MAN: To the handpicked minority, and the world knoweth it not, for they will hear, “HE has come. He has gone!” Simplicity has always been a problem. Another one is traditional religion
- Enoch the Prophet confirmed this truth that the Son of Man is hidden and preserved by the Lord of the Spirits, waiting for the day he will be revealed to the Saints or Elect of God.
- Ethiopic Book of Enoch 46 verse 10. Then shall the kings , the princes , and all who possess the earth glorify him who has dominion over all things, him who was concealed;
- for from the beginning the Son of Man existed in secret, who the Most High preserved in the presence of His power and revealed to the elect.
- He was revealed to the Elect of God and not to the world. You see, the secret things belong to God and his people. Judas asked this question, “Why do you decide to reveal yourself, to disclose your identity to us and not to the world?”
- John 14: 22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou will manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? KJV
- The answer to this question is found in Mark Chapter 4:11 which says that the secret things or the mystery of God belong to those that are in Christ, THE SON OF MAN, the Mystery Revealer.
- Mark 4:11. And he said unto them, unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables. KJV
- God has never from the beginning of creation intended to reveal the mystery of His will to the world but only to His elect.
- Ephesians chapter 1:9. Having made know unto us the mystery of his will, according to the good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself.
- So, it was God’s purpose to reveal the Son of Man, that Hidden figure to his people.
- Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generation and now is made manifest to His Saints.
- You see that the hidden mystery is the revelation of THE SON OF MAN which is being revealed to His Saints. This Personality in question is a Heavenly Being. Remember, he was preserved in heaven. Therefore he is not an earthly being.
- John 3:13. KJV And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. SURE!!!
- You see, Jesus was not talking about himself, but THAT SON OF MAN Who is a divine Being. As at the time of Jesus, THE SON OF MAN was still in heaven.
- No wonder he told his disciples that if he is lifted up then, they shall see THE SON OF MAN coming down from heaven with the Clouds.
- That is to say that without him [Jesus] going, THE SON OF MAN will not come to bring full and complete salvation to humanity.
- In the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, the seventh generation Prophet from Adam foretold the appearance of THE SON OF MAN at a moment when the small flock of sheep (small believing remnant of Allah), though they are vigorously persecuted but will be defended by a humble ram;
- And this ram will be attacked by the birds from above and by carnivorous beast on land as we are witnessing on the land today.
- The land is filled with falsehood and violence against the truth and the children of truth. But the ram shall overcome them all.
- Matthew 25:31 When THE SON OF MAN shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.
- A messenger of God is not commissioned to prophesy about himself as a personage of some future epoch as to foretell his own reincarnation and thus present himself as the hero in some great future drama of the world. So Jesus was not predicting about himself but one coming.
- Luke 18: 8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when THE SON OF MAN cometh, shall he find on the earth?
- When THE SON OF MAN comes, shall He find faith on earth? In the other words, there will be total departure from Christ. Here, Jesus possibly was not referring to himself, but to One coming in future, THE SON OF MAN.
- From the prophesy of prophet Enoch the ram will swallow them up and as well give His sheep a weapon of truth by which it will use to defeat his enemy.
In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like A SON OF MAN, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.
He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
DANIEL 7:13-14 NIV
2
THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN AND HIS IDENTITY
The coming of this great divine Personality, the Son of man is littered everywhere in both the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran.
- Let us see Who this Son of Man is that is mentioned in many religious manuscripts like The Book of Enoch, the Bible, the Holy Qur’an, the Grail Message etc.
- Luke 22:27. And then they will see THE SON OF MAN coming in a cloud with great (transcendent and overwhelming) power and [all His kingly] glory (majesty and splendor).
- Daniel 7:13-14. 13I saw in the night visions, and behold, on the clouds of the heavens came One like a Son of man, and He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. 14 and there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
- From the Book of Daniel, certain characteristics which is a mark of identification of the Son of Man are made clear.
- (1) He will come in the Cloud of Heaven. (2). He has authority over all people and nations. (3). He receives worship. (4). He is Eternal. That is to say, He is a Divine Being dwelling in a mortal body. (5). His kingdom will never be destroyed.
- Psalm 68:3-4, LB. 3But may the godly man exult. May he rejoice and be merry. 4Sing praises to the Lord! Raise your voice in song to him who rides upon the clouds! Jehovah is his name—oh, rejoice in his presence.
- Psalm 104:3, AMP. Who lays the beams of the upper room of His abode in the waters [above the firmament], Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind.
- So this Son of Man that is coming with the Cloud of Glory has now turned out to be the Almighty God.
- Rev. 1:7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him;
- And all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so [must it be]. Amen (so be it).
- THE SON OF MAN: Has it happened? Is He a stranger to the Jews again?
- Chapter 11 of the message ‘OUR SAVIOUR HAS ARRIVED” [1974] by Elijah Mohamed.48But he had to use the same material that Our Father put here. He (the white man) wasn’t able to create his materials because everything was already in the Earth.
- Therefore, when he was made, he had to use what we, Our Fathers, had made to fashion him a kingdom of the material that was already created.
- And now, when it comes to worshiping the Gods, I say; A Jesus, A Christ, A God, that is Born for you and me today! Who is He? He is what they call, “The Son of Man.” Who is the Son of Man? And why do they call Him that?
- Because He Himself is coming to judge the Original Man and the mankind. The mankind is the white race. The Original Man is not a mankind.
- The Son of man is coming to execute judgment upon the ungodly men and women.
- 50Your Black God. Why shouldn’t you love Him? Look at how He made you to verify the Truth that He is God.
- There was never One before Him. He made the axis, the Heavens, the Earth, and the spheres that float around the Sun to bear Him witness – ‘I am the First.”
- He has shown us all, unquestionable and convincing evidences that He is that Son of Man (God in human form) that the scriptures and the prophet including the Lord Jesus Christ foretold that would come.
- Chapter 13 verse 12-17. 12The Holy One coming from Mount Paran (Habakkuk 3:3) is not a spirit, but God in person. Jesus referred to Him as being the Son of Man (Matt. 24:27) – not the Son of Mary, Whom He was and whom the Christians teach us to look forward to seeing on the last day.
- 13If there is or was any truth in looking forward to seeing the return of Jesus (Mary’s Son) whom the Bible claims was killed two thousand years ago, what contradicts this prophesy of the coming of the Son of Man?
- 14The prophesy of the coming of THE SON OF MAN by Jesus compares with other prophets, and especially Habakkuk 3:3.
- “Jesus saw the coming of the Son of Man as a light coming from the East that shineth unto the West.” “Habakkuk also saw the Holy One as being a light as well as being Holy” (Habakkuk 3:4).
- Habakkuk 3:3-4. AMP. 3God [approaching from Sinai] came from Teman [which represents Edom] and the Holy One from Mount Paran [in the Sinai region]. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of His praise.
- 4And His brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed from His hand, and there [in the sunlike splendor] was the hiding place of His power.
- The only place the Son of Man will come from is the East, for God Almighty is of the East, the land of the rising sun.
- Verse 17 of Chapter 13 of the message “Our Savior Has Arrived” by Elijah Mohamed. 17This is the only place we know of, that can produce a Holy One.
- Neither of the past two prophets, Jesus nor Muhammad, taught the people that they were Holy Ones, nor did they say that they were from heaven. Jesus himself denied that He was good; the only One good is God (Luke 18:19).
- Luke 18:19. AMP. Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [essentially and perfectly morally] good? No one is [essentially and perfectly morally] good—except God only.
- Holy ones or the righteous ones are always found in the east. Have you seen why the Son of Man cannot come from any other place but from the east, for He is the supremely holy and righteous one?
- Let continue in chapter 15 of the book “Our Savior Has Arrived” by Elijah Mohamed 1974 verse 15.
- The Days of Allah (God). These are the Days of The Son of Man and the days of the removal of the old world of evil, filth, and unrighteousness.
- These are the Days of setting up a clean world under the guidance of the Original People (Black Nation) who were never guilty of doing evil until one of the gods by the name of Yakub discovered the essence of the Black Man to make a white man and Yakub did just that — he made the white.
- The days are full of evil and the Son of Man is here to guide, protect and to redeem His own from this sinful world.
- We continue from verse 20-21 of Chapter 15. 20Do not look for a spirit, a spook, or a formless thing. The formless is what we think in our brain. It is formless until we make a form for it.
- We cannot use a God or follow a God that is not something like ourselves; for if He Is Not something like ourselves He Cannot Have an Interest in our affairs.
- Have you seen why the son of man came in our form? Is he not interested in our affairs?
- 21Therefore the Bible prophesies and the Holy Qur’an also teaches us that a Son of a Man will Come to us to be the Judge of the Judgment Day. This Son of Man Will Sit As Judge.
- Why He Is Called the Son of Man will have to be taught to you. Here I do not have the time and the space to teach you why He Is called the Son of Man.
- He cannot teach us Who the Son of Man is because he is not The Son of Man, but only the Son of Man Himself will.
- The Lord Jesus told his disciple that there are many things he would have told or taught them, but when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, Who is no other Person but the Son of Man that he (Jesus) told them will come; then He (The Son of man) will teach them all, hiding nothing, for He is the wisdom and power of God.
- John 16:12-13. 12I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now.
- 13But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
- THE SON OF MAN: Has it come to pass?
- Please do not be tired. We are continuing with the message “Our Savior Has Arrived” Chapter 34 verse 4.
- 4The true knowledge of Who is the Son of Man and Why He is Called the Son of Man destroys the teachings of the Christians concerning the prophecies of the Son of Man and the coming of the Son of Man.
- THE SON OF MAN: Why? Christian Teaching is counterfeit. Phony that ran ahead of time to contradict the truth.
- This forces understanding upon the world that is blind to the knowledge of Who and Why He is Called the Son of Man…especially the once slave of the white, slave-masters. Religion!
- Yes! The revelation of Who the Son of Man is, destroyed the teachings of Christianity, their ideology and philosophy. Hence, the Scripture warned us not to allow anybody to deceive us with vain philosophy.
- Colossians 2: 8 AMP. See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).
- Let us ride on with the message “Our Savior Has Arrived” verse 14 of chapter 34. 14The Days of the Son of Man represent the Days (Years) that He Will Be Judging the world and punishing the world for her evil.
- The Son of Man is gathering, teaching, and training His People right in the midst of this wicked world.
- THE SON OF MAN: Sure!!! This is to help them escape the holocaust. You must have Him in person for your Teacher. Otherwise, you will not escape.
- His People have gotten experience of the wicked world and He Teaches them how now to avoid the wicked world and its teachings and yet live in the midst of it.
- Their living in the midst of the evil world and yet avoiding it proves their worthiness, since they have gotten experience living in the evil world and now they turn to righteousness while they are still in the midst of the evil world.
- These people have an experience of both evil and good.
- The son of man: They are in the world, but not a part of this world.
- Then if these are brought out of the evil world, these people are the people that he said he Saved out of the Fire. The Holy Qur’an says that we were on a Brink of Fire.
- For thirty (30) years now, the Son of Man, Apostle Peter Odoemena, has been grooming His people very well, in every facet of life so as to overcome evil in the world.
- Verse 17 of chapter 34. 17Upon the coming of God, the Son of Man, He being the Just Judge of Man and man-kind, He forgave us our sins because we are not guilty of that which we did not know.
- The Son of Man is the One that has the power and authority to forgive us our sins and place us in right standing with Himself.
- Matthew 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
- Verse 24 of the same message and of the same chapter. 24Boom, that is the end when this is accomplished. When the Son of Man proves that He is Justified in destroying the wicked, then they will be destroyed in the twinkling of an eye.
- He has fixed a day in which He will destroy all the inhabitants of the earth who refused to obey Him and turn away from their evil doings.
- Acts 17:31. Because he has appointed a day, in the which HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY THAT MAN WHOM HE HATH ORDAINED; wherefore he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
- The Resurrected Body!
- Thank you. When The Resurrected Body and the Son of Man has certified that the evil men and women have decided or refused to put a stop in their evil ways, but rather, the rate of evil is now on a geometric progressional increase and that the thoughts and imaginations of men are evil continually, He will destroy everything on the surface of the earth in one second.
And beyond controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1 TIMOTHY 3:16 KJV

THE SON OF MAN WILL BE A HUMAN BEING
So the Messiah must be a human being. The Scriptures said, “When He shall come, we will be like Him, for He is going to be a human being like us.
- This Son of Man is going to be the house that will tabernacle God; a Vessel God will dwell in and through Whom He will reconcile the world of Elect to Himself.
- That is God, being a spirit, has now tabernacled in a Man called “The Son of Man”, the Word made flesh. The Word has become the Son of Man.
- God the word, who came down from above and from heaven, “emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave” and was called Son of Man, though all the while He remain what He was, that is God (for He is unchangeable and immutable by nature) (Tanner, 1990, p72, The Emphasis is Mine)
- The Eternal One came down here on earth and was called the Son of Man, but that does not make Him not to be what He is, Almighty God.
- Page 53 verse 6-7. And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
- When Daniel was contemplating on the meaning of his vision, what his vision could possibly mean, what would be the possible interpretation of his vision, a man appeared, THE HIDDEN REVEALER who holds the meaning all the mysteries of God.
- Let us see it as evidenced in the ancient Book of Enoch. The Ethiopian Book of Enoch, Chapter 46 verse 3 “This is the Son of Man who hath righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden. So, the Son of Man holds the mystic secret of God.
- Verse 2. And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and where came from, and why he went with the Ancient One? And he answered and said to me:
- Verse 3. “This is the Son of Man who hath righteousness, with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden;
- Because the Lord of spirits hath chosen him, and whose lot has pre-eminence before the Lord of spirits in righteousness and is for ever.
- Verse 4. And this Son of Man whom you have seen shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats, and the strong from their thrones and shall loosen the reins of the strong, and break the teeth of the sinners.
- The Son of Man is a Transcendent Being. The Book of Enoch Chapter 48 verse 2 through 7. And at that hour THAT SON OF MAN was named in the presence of the Lord of spirits, And his name was brought before the Head of Days.
- Even before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were made, His Name was named before the Lord of spirits.
- He shall be a staff to the righteous and they shall steady themselves and not fall. And he shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart.
- All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him, and will praise and bless and sing and celebrate the Lord of spirits.
- And for this reason, He has been chosen and hidden in front of (kept safe by) Him, before the creation of the world and for evermore. Amen!!!
- This is the hidden figure, the son of man that was revealed in heaven and the angels rejoiced, for the whole creation have been waiting for the revelation of this great Being Who is to liberate and restore them back to Paradise.
- I mean, the angels have been waiting for the manifestation of this Being in human form, and it happens to be in our own day.
- John 8:56. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He knew I was coming and was glad. LB
- Our father Abraham and even the angels desired to see the day of the Son of Man. They desired to have prospect of the time the Son of Man will be coming in the flesh.
- Thus, He who is the Dayspring of Names, dispensational Names as hidden by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise God, the Promised One – the Son of Man has been revealed in human form.
- In this estate, the visible and invisible beings have rejoiced. Hear O people that dwell on the surface of the earth in this our generation, take advantage of this last visitation of the Almighty God in human form, The Son of Man. Cease this golden opportunity to meet Him and pay allegiance to Him, for it is better for you than to seek asylum in other gods.
- Just like the Prophet Muhammad Raheem [peace be unto him] said that whenever this great Al-Mahdi, the Son of Man shall come, if you happen to recognize Him, pay allegiance to Him and cleave firmly to Him.
- The Ethiopic Book of Enoch Chapter 48 verse 7. And the wisdom of the Lord of spirits has revealed him to the holy and righteous; For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous, because they have hated and rejected this world of unrighteousness, and have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of spirits.
- For in his name they are saved, and according to his good pleasure and it is He who has regard to their life.
- Question and answer – NO 2 by Prophet William Marrion Branham at the Branham Tabernacle Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA on Sunday 16th of August 1965; verse 403. Now, the Person of Christ, Himself, the Son of Man (you understand?) revealing Himself in human flesh, it could not have come till now.
- The revelation of THE SON OF MAN could not have come at any other time except in our day. God coming in the form of a man, the Son of Man.
- I HAVE HEARD, BUT NOW I SEE by William Branham Preached on the 27th November 1965 evening. When the son of man is being revealed What is known as revelation is to reveal or make known a secret. Now, these things that’s been hid all through the Church Ages is being revealed, made known.
- That Personality that was hidden and preserved by God is now made known to us.
- Again in another message by William Braham “THE ANOINTED ONES OF THE END TIME preached on 25th July 1965. Not the angel is THE SON OF MAN, but the messenger is revealing THE SON OF MAN. THE SON OF MAN is Christ, He is the One that you are feeding on. We feeding on the Son of Man.
Without the son of man at this gentile side of the world, no flesh from the gentile shall be reconciled to the almighty God. I remain the point of reconciliation.

THE SON OF MAN
(THE GREATEST GIFT TO MANKIND)
In conclusion, let us read 2nd Corinthains 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. KJV
- Now thanks be to God for His Gift, precious beyond telling, His indescribable, inexpressible, free gift. AMP.
- Dear beloved of God, you can agree with me that the greatest, most precious and unique gift God has given to us in this generation remains the SON OF MAN (Apostle Peter Odoemena).
- The greatest of human philosophers or scribes in the whole world cannot by their wisdom, knowledge and reasoning know you the Son of Man.
- Hence, they are deluded in their wisdom, thinking and knowledge, exchanging the glory of the immortal being to be of the resemblance of animals or reptiles or inanimate objects.
- Yet, You are a great Paradox, an Enigma, a Sage and not a magic portion.
- Nature displays infallible proofs and unquestionable evidences, testifying that You, The Son of Man are real.
- He is the all-Sufficient God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, the Divine Incarnate and the Transcendent Being Who has no beginning nor ending of days.
- He has been and still is the echo of salvation, the Voice of salvation in every generation. Ours is not left out. And this goes to those who rely, depend, trust and lean their entire personality on Him.
- He is that great Fountain of life that distils the dews of salvation upon us. Open Thou Thy rich Fountain that pours forth unto us milk and honey, the everlasting blessing of eternal life.
- He is not a charm or amulet, but a divine Being Who came down to this earthly plain to salvage and give life to human beings whom He created.
- You (The Son of Man) banished all darkness, fear and evil from the heart of men, transferring them from the kingdom of darkness to a kingdom radiating with truth and light, espousing all truth seekers to the divine pathway of truth.
- The great Al-Mahdi. Your Word empowers every truth-seeking soul with strength, shedding light on their path to the divine journey.
- You (The Son of Man) are the divine bread that nourishes and gives life to the human soul when it is digested assimilated into the heart.
- The Word of this Son of Man is the shield and righteousness of the Saints.
- Those that mock and reject the truth as revealed to us in this our day tremble at the thought of meeting you (The Son of Man) in life or in death at the Judgment Seat.
- The Son of Man remains the Chief Justice of heaven and earth whose judgment is final.
- This Man is the dayspring of names. No one can accurately and adequately describe Him. He is beyond description. And every attempt to describe Your (The son of Man’s) Personality ended in confusion. A big elephant. Every one describes a portion of Your being according to his or her personal revelation.
- You are the Almighty God the whole world are waiting for, the great Lord of all, the most glorious, the most powerful being in the universe.
- You fashioned the universe and forces of nature, using them to accomplish your divine purpose.
- You remain an inexhaustible spring of righteousness, the supremely holy and glorious One.
- Hear, O people that dwell on the surface of the earth in this our generation, accept and acknowledge this unspeakable gift from God, The Son of Man.
- This man is a supernatural being that transcended from the highest spiritual zenith, the highest spiritual realms of the spirits. THIS SON OF MAN could not be any other thing, but God Himself coming in the form of a Man and robed himself in the Cloud of heaven.
- There is no other God coming but He that has been revealed already (The Son of Man), the most compassionate God, all-wise God. This promise of the Messiah, the Son of Man has fulfilled that which had been announced by all the prophets, the patriarch and all ancient writings, that the most exalted, the Lord God Almighty is now made manifest as the Son of Man.
- Hence, He came according time. He come according to the scriptures. And He came according to prophecies.
- In other words, He came according the volume of books written concerning Him. A pure and a gracious gift to man.
- We thank you, Lord of Host for you are the incredible, unbelievable and indescribable gift human beings had ever received from God.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE SUPREMELY HOLY ONE, LIVE FOREVER. PST. EMMANUEL INNAH

THE SON OF MAN
Apostle Peter Odoemena
The LORD God Almighty
So this day, if you are not in right standing with God; if truly your source is Christ; If where you are drawing your inspiration is Christ, today, you can crosscheck your standpoint, making sure that all is well between you and God.
-APOSTLE CHUKWUDI ODOEMENA –
CAN YOUR ANCHOR SUSTAIN YOU DURING
THE TIME OF TROUBLE? VOL. 2 PREACHED

MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING STANDING BETWEEN YOU AND GOD
Brethren, please permit Me to come out. Please count it not against Me that I have not come out to say welcome. I want to use this opportunity to say, “Happy welcome!” to all of you. I never neglected you at all. If I neglect you, who then will I recognize.
- We have come afar off. And now that we are at the closing hours of our journey here on earth, we must be sure we know ourselves to the core, our limitations notwithstanding. So, I appreciate your coming.
- Of a truth, I resisted everything called birthday. Members of your committee did everything to get Me convinced, but I stood My ground. I only approved the calendar. They continued pressurizing and giving Me reasons.
- Well, it is not that I hate a gathering like this or that I am trying to run away from any of you. No! No! No! No! No!
- The truth is: I am not very much disposed yet to attend a gathering like this or to honour it. I know what it took Me to go out a few weeks ago to wed Brother Clifford and His wife, because the marriage emanated from My Family.
- It cost Me a lot. I had to waybill what I had already bought for Lagos, for I was to be in Lagos. But I considered too many things and decided to go for that wedding. That became My first outing since I buried My wife.
- I have been at home. I have never visited any Local Assembly. Neither have I attended any ceremony. I do not have that strength. I do not have the heart.
- It is not that I am very much happy staying at Home. No! No! No! No! No! I know what I am passing through. I told some Elders this morning and I know that they understood Me.
- You see! Nothing is as painful as love. If you are devoted and strongly committed to a relationship with anybody, especially your wife, twenty-four hours of the day, you are together, pray that nothing will happen to either party because to recover is not a day’s job.
- I have to say it loud and clear. I have been saying it. If it does not happen to you, I do not pray it should happen but it may happen.
- It is easier to console others using the Scriptures than for one to use the same Scriptures to console himself.
- I do not pray you experience it, but if it comes your way, you will know exactly how bitter it is. At that time, you may not even understand the real meaning of the Scriptures. You may even hate the person who is reading it before you. Yes! After reading, what next?
- It is just like we have gathered here to give Me a sense of belonging. I know that a few moments from now, you are going. When you leave Me, what next? I will revert to My solitary condition.
- That is why, from the first day that I came back empty-handed, when they helped Me down here from that Enugu Airport, I noticed that they, including Pastor Chibuzo My son in-law, wanted to stay because they came with their luggage intending to pass at least a week with Me, but I said, “No No No! I do not want to see any human being around Me. I am going upstairs and I do not want anybody to come over to know whether I have committed suicide or not. Let Me settle this thing once and for all.”
- I went into My room and locked up My door for days just to know whether it was real. When it became real to Me, then I started adjusting gradually.
- You know, it is not easy to adjust. This is a relationship that lasted for over 34 years. And it was not an ordinary relationship. We never met on the way. We were colleagues in the office. We stayed together. No leave. No transfer. It was from the house to the office and from the office down home.
- So, it was a painful exit. I cannot say that I am not feeling the pains, even right here – even as I am standing here.
- While I am saying thank you for honouring Me this year, you were willing last year, but I told you that no matter how you tried, that I could see an unforeseen contingent coming to terminate it.
- I predicted that you were going to share your calendars in this compound and that you must collect your money from the hotel where you had booked for the ceremony. And so, it fulfilled.
- Remember I told you all these things when My wife was driving about, moving her vehicle, going to work and doing everything. But I told you what was coming, for I saw it.
- It is just like the vision I saw a few days ago being confirmed in the Message I got from Enugu today coming from our Brother Eli-Joe. And I give God the glory, Who reveals all these things. And then, He wants us to pray against those ones that we may not accommodate.
- You know what happened. My wife never died, and will never die. It is for your sake that she was taken away. She committed no crime. I committed no crime. But for your sake, He wanted Me to taste of all the bitter pills – In short, the bitterest pill so far, buttressing the fact that I am a Man of sorrow, and acquainted with grief.
- For 67 years, I have never had a moment of respite. I was born in sorrows and in pains. You know My history. It is chequered. It is not hidden. The little family at the village, you know. How impoverished we are, you know. So, I do not exaggerate anything at all.
- That is why I decided to go on leave, but the way I wanted to enjoy the leave was not approved. You know why it was not approved. I said that I must take this leave anyhow. I am just trying to force Myself into it.
- Now, because of the sudden change in the timetable –there was a sudden change in the timetable. And I thought that along the way, the timetable could be amended. But instead of being amended, too many other things were added to the timetable.
- And looking at the way things stand, I do not know any other thing I can do than to have a forced landing. So, if you heard it from the tapes, it had gone viral.
- I told you in the Message, THE PAINS OF LABOUR AND THE JOYS OF DELIVERY the arithmetic you should work out, which will give you your departure date.
- While you were trying to grapple with it over the years, two persons got closest to it. [1] Bishop Chidubem of Abuja, and then [2] Pastor Melchizedek of Abakiliki. They came closest to getting the accurate date. I say closest.
- But something happened. I moved forward and removed it from the date to age. And I said that if you are wise, by the way things are going, you will know precisely, the exact age I must drop this airplane.
- You cannot get the exact date. It shall be one day known unto the LORD. I told you that it is the hardest secret the Almighty can divulge. Will it happen? Yes!
- So, while we were expecting the age, what took place. One of My engine compartments flattened. When it flattened, the speed of My airplane dropped.
- I came down from a high altitude to a level that will help Me to save some because I am sure and certain that I could no longer continue as agreed. Now, I am going to have a forced landing.
- I am talking to you in types. Of course, you know where I am heading to. For now, there is no space in almost all the airports, but I am managing.
- I want to see where I can pilot it to the nearest now. And for that nearest, radar or no radar, I must force it to land. It is better that I have a forced landing and save some than to manage it and lose all. Did you get the Message?
- Of course, you know you will get the New Year Message if I remain in this flesh. Nobody should tell you that tomorrow is getting any better.
- The more we stay, the worse. And the more we are losing souls.
- Yes! Because of the widespread evil, the love of many is waxing colder and colder. I am telling you. People now have the knowledge but no zeal. They have the knowledge, but no zeal.
- So for that reason, knowledge alone is not sufficient to save. It must be knowledge accompanied by zeal. If you are not zealous about the things of God, your knowledge is unprofitable. Your knowledge becomes your condemnation.
- So, thank you for being here. Be seated. I never asked you to stand up. Did I command you? Unless you want to exercise your legs.
- Hear Me very well. Standing up or sitting down, to Me, they are all but one. If you kneel down and pray, and God does not answer, even if you lie flat, He will not answer.
- There is no position you will take which He will answer because what hindered the prayers while you were kneeling down will hinder it while you are standing.
- And whatever hinders your prayers is already in you, until you discover it, and then make it right, making sure that there is nothing standing between you and God.
- So, now you know and I have confirmed it that there is going to be a forced landing, and it is going to be abrupt, there will be no prior notice anymore, all you have to do is to fasten your belt to minimize the level of shock you are going to have.
- Of course, like I directed and equally told everybody. I have been a pilot over the years. I am experienced. The most difficult sides of piloting are [1] the taking off and [2] the landing.
- If you go to any aviation school, the first thing you must know is how to take off. It can take you more than two years to know how to take off. Landing can take you the remaining three to four years.
- So, if you take off, you glorify God. There in the midair, no matter the altitude, you can loosen your belt and chat.
- Then, the pilot is at ease. He can fold his arms because it is not like your vehicles where you will be using your throttle. In the aeroplane, everything is programmed, even the speed. You simply relax and the plane will be going on, for the compass director is at work.
- But when it gets to landing, too many things are involved. Yes! Everything might be OK, depending on the time and hour you are landing.
- What if it is in the night and there is no flood light? What will you do? What if it is in the day and the weather happens to be so hazy that vision is impaired?
- What if, in the attempt to land, the tyres refuse to come out? What if they come out, and in the attempt to land, the plane is gutted by fire? What will you do?
- What if, on landing on the tarmac or the runway, it loses control because the brake failed and it veers off? And once it touches the outside lane, it sinks inside the ground because of the weight of the plane.
- So, there are too many things that can happen on landing. That is why precautions must be there. I have taken adequate precautions as a seasoned pilot to land this plane safely, but too many things are involved.
- Of a surety, you know I am not crazy. Of course, I am not crazy. Am I saying that you should be too much afraid?
- Remember My analogy, “IS DADDY STILL IN THE COCKPIT?” If the answer is yes, what do you do? The lady was alerted by her friend who said, “Rose, the pilot has alerted that there is danger in the midair and that we should be praying.”
- The lady woke up and cleansed her eyes and enquired of her friend, “Is my Daddy still in the cockpit?” Her friend said yes! And she slept off again. She slept.
- This is because, being an experienced pilot, the lady was sure and certain that the father must control the danger. And really, the man controlled it.
- I say, the Man who can turn on the Light is still in control of the aircraft. So, fear not. All you have to do is one thing. By day or by night, make sure there is nothing standing between you and God, for the last problem you were having has been removed.
- Yes! What is that problem? My wife. My husband. My children. My work. Nobody here should deny it. If your wife, your children or your work does not hinder you, you are already there.
- God has now decided to show you that marriage is an earthly arrangement. It has no heavenly undertone, talkless of value. That is why it is a condition for either hell or heaven, depending on how you master it.
- What of your children? Do they belong to you? My wife left without any. Yes now! If I preach now, you look at Me and whatever I am telling you.
- If My salvation is tied to her, I am already in hell because she left. If she was the one holding My Faith, I would not be talking to you. But while she was in the mortuary, I was ministering. While she was sick, I was ministering. While she is in the grave, I am ministering. Today, I am still ministering, bearing My own burden. It is My burden. It is not your own.
- That is why I have refused all your ways to console Me. No No No! Keep it to yourself. This is My burden. I have to bear it. Thereunto I am called and ordained. So, it is unavoidable. I found Myself in it.
- So, be it known to you that this aeroplane has been gradually descending. I say, gradually. It is not a military jet. It is not a military aircraft that can just descend abruptly. No No No No No! It is a passenger plane having lives on board.
- So for years now, I have been gradually lowering this plane until finally, one engine compartment flattened.
- A man standing with one leg can never claim to be a strong man with two legs. No! He must lose his balance. Anything can put him off. Do you think I am crazy? No!
- Remember what I mean by landing this plane. I can land this plane in different forms.
- Some have already made up their minds that THE SON OF MAN is going with them. How are you sure? How are you sure? If I do not go with you, am I committing any crime? If I committed crime, will you charge Me to court? Will you arrest Me? Am I indebted to you? You owe yourself a great debt. Pay your debt to yourself. Do not pay to Me. You know what you are owing.
- If your obedience is not fulfilled, there is no way you can get the promise. If your obedience to the truth is not fulfilled, nothing will ever make you to get the promise.
- Let there be no evil heart of unbelief that will be traceable to any of you in departing from the true God – Evil heart of unbelief. Let it not be traceable to you.
- Of course, you know that I am almost there. I have announced it and you know My date holds. Whatever I am doing today is in fulfilment of My Word.
- Continue whatever you are doing, but do not be strongly attached to it, because if you are folding your arms, you may backslide. But if you are working and doing something reasonable in the fear of the LORD, what you are doing cannot hinder you from being translated.
- Remember, translation is slated for the perfect. Translation must be for the perfect. What do you do to attain perfection?
- Ephesians Chapter one from verse one through six says, “He [God] will make you perfect in His own eyes because of what Christ has accomplished for you. That is, if you have believed and acknowledged it. The next thing is to do that which he has commanded you to do.”
- The reference in Ephesians 1:3-6, LB. [3]How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.
- [4]Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before him covered with his love.
- [5]His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!
- [6]Now all praise to God for his wonderful kindness to us and his favor that he has poured out upon us because we belong to his dearly loved Son.
- Do you speak fish into the soup? You do not go into Paradise because you have said that you have entered into Paradise. No! God is not managing anybody into the Kingdom. No!
- He is correcting the mistake that was made in the days of Noah by putting seven of all that were good and two of those that were bad. From there, twos reproduced and overwhelmed the whole Ark.
- If you want to eradicate evil, eradicate evil completely, for a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
- So, God is not making that mistake again and that is why He is sifting. Otherwise, we would have gone into glory. He is sifting.
- I have harvested My first fruit. And I am happy. Though it is causing Me some pains. If I do not have these pains, I would not be desiring to depart.
- So, to you that have gathered this day to honour today. Of course, you know what today is. This is the day we fixed. We fixed it. If I remain here till next year, by 3rd April, I will be adding another one year.
- But I am counting in days and in months when I am the Ancient of Days. And I am using your own calendar. I am not using My original calendar.
- Your calendar is Roman calendar. It is not Jewish calendar. And it is not even Asian calendar. You are counting 12 calendar months, but there are some that are counting 36 calendar months for one year. So, you have not even started.
- I have My calendar. And My calendar is you. I say, My calendar is you. MY CALERNDAR IS YOU. Finish!
- So, thank you very much for making selfless sacrifices. It is commendable because even the Prophet Muhammad Raheem [pbuh] said that children of Allah are self-sacrificing individuals.
- There is no way you can worship God without being self-sacrificing.
- This reference is traceable to Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, 29th Letter 7th Section Sixth Sign. A ZEALOUS, SELF-SACRIFICING COMMUNITY KNOWN AS A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY BUT WORTHY OF BEING CALLED “MUSLIM CHRISTIANS,” WILL WORK TO UNITE THE TRUE RELIGION OF JESUS (Upon whom be peace) WITH THE REALITY OF ISLAM and will kill and rout that society of the Dajjal ….
- I have to appreciate all the troubles you took, contributions you made to host this type of gathering.
- If I cause you pain by turning it into a lecture, it is for your own good. Too many topics were brought before Me, but I cancelled all. I, personally and deliberately, gave them one topic and told them to distribute it to three Ministers.
- Write on THE SON OF MAN. I did not say, “Write on Apostle Peter Odoemena.” Write on THE SON OF MAN.
- If you can understand what THE SON OF MAN is all about, Who THE SON OF MAN should be, the identification of who THE SON OF MAN is becomes very easy.
- And what is My aim? I want to rejuvenate in you that which I enacted from the very beginning. HOW DO YOU KNOW GOD? WHO IS GOD TO YOU?
- For it is on the basis of Who God is to us that we begin to worship Him. You must be sure and certain, lest you be buffeted about by every wind of doctrine, for we are living in the last days when seducing spirits are at work, with too many people with doctrines of demons which they are peddling everywhere, drawing converts to themselves.
- The reference is found in 1 Timothy 4:1. BUT THE [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach, AMP
- You know: I have never come to make a convert. Hence, nobody knows Who I am. I do not have anything called Church. Neither do I have a Synagogue.
- I do not have any but you. Only you know Me. Only I know you. And the only Person Who will know you is one Who is practically acquainted with you. Where will He find you? Anywhere! Anywhere! But we know ourselves. We know who we are. We know how we can meet. We know how we reach ourselves throughout the whole world. We are one.
- So, thank you. I have seen that you have been longing for a day like this where you will come face to face with THE SON OF MAN and hear Him speak. With this, your joy is full. Is it not true?
- Fear not. You are going. As I have always been promising, the road is for you. Drive home safely.
- SONG: [We are heirs of the Father. We are joint heirs with the LORD. We are children of the Kingdom. We are family. We are one.
- We are Family. We are One. We are Family. We are One. We are family. We are One.
- God is Family. He is One. God is Family. He is One. God is Family. He is Christ.
- We are Family. We are One. We are Family. We are One. We are family. We are One.]
- Every family in heaven and on earth must be named after Christ. One Christ, One LORD, One God, One Baptism, One Holy Spirit, One Family, One Nation, One Language, because in the end, the entire world will speak one language. And that is Hebrew.
- May the grace of God lead you home safely. If you have comments, you can make. Thank you!
