QUESTION: To whom does the “Son of Man” refer in Matthew 24:37? To Jesus or to the Father?
ANSWER: In verse thirty-six of this chapter, Jesus begins to answer a question asked of Him in the latter part of verse three, “Tell us . . .what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” His disciples wanted to know when HE would return! He referred to HIS return as the “coming of the Son of Man” in verse thirty-seven. Jesus Christ is, therefore, the Son of Man!
