When The Son of Man Appears Before the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:13-14)

We suggest that this Son of Man, who’ll be an offshoot of David (Isaih 11:1), is NOT already sitting at God’s right hand as many teach. This is still future, but it won’t be a literal sitting at God’s right hand.
Firstly, God share his Glory with no one (Isaiah 42:8), so there’s no one sitting silently at his right hand now. He’s a God that does all things alone, there was no one before him, with him, or will be after him ever (Isaiah 44:24).
This being at the right of God, is like when Moses saw God face to face, but here upon the Earth (Exodus 33:11). This son of man (the Prince) will also eat bread before God’s face in the Messianic Temple (Ezekiel 44:3). Because one appears before God, it doesn’t actually mean it’ll be a physical one. When one meets to worship God, he/they are appearing before God.
This Son of Man, AFTER being brought before the Ancient (Yahweh) of Days, is when he becomes God’s son (Psalms 2:7), and he is given the Nation’s to rule over, over which will be eternal (Daniel 7:14).
His Kingdom will crush other Kingdoms (Daniel 7:23b, 27-28), when he is ruling and taking over his enemies (Psalm 110:2), when God has set and placed him upon Mount Zion in Jerusalem (Psalms 2:6).
This Son of Man will be protected (Psalms 91) as he will be given the power to go forth and rebuild (Isaiah 51:16), God will be at his right hand when doing this (Psalms 110:5).
This being at God’s right hand is NOT literal, it’s symbolic of the elevated place this one is going to be given, a very high place, but here upon the earth (Psalms 110:1 and Isaiah 53:12).
He’ll come into his Temple to carry out the role of Purifier of his people (Malachi 3:3). The coming into his Temple riding on a donkey is still future, it’ll be AFTER the 2300 evenings and mornings have been completed, some 3 years AFTER the days of the Great Tribulation Period have been completed (Zechariah 9:9 and (Daniel 8:13-14).
He will teach the King’s and Nations things they didn’t know, and they be astounded by him (Isaiah 52:15).
He will become a son to God, and God will become a ther father to him (Isaiah 42:1), but only on the day he is brought before God. He is the offshoot of David that’ll biuld the Temple of God, and the one who is set to rule (2 Samuel 7:10-14).
He’ll be the wonderful counselor, the warrior King, and the father of the eternal ages that are still to come (Isaiah 9:6).
This Son of Man is still to come, he is the Messiah and Suffering Servant that’ll be cut off for the sins of israel prior to the days of the Great Tribulation Period beginning (Daniel 9:26 and Isaiah 53).
These Events Are All Still Very Much in the Future
This hasn’t hai yet, it’s all still future. The finishing off of guilt, sin and transgression are still future (Daniel 9:24).
This happens before the Assyrian enters Israel to trample on it, to destroy it and it’s Temple, when the evil of the North will befall Israel (Daniel 9:24, 26, 11:30, Jeremiah 6:1 and Micah 5:5).
None of these events have happened yet, they are all still future. The Messiah appears near the End Time to atone for the sin of his people.
When he has become King, this coincides with the destruction of the Assyrian (Daniel 7:11), and Israel returns to Israel (Jeremiah 29:19-14) and the New Covenant has been inaugurated with Israel (Jeremiah 31:31-34).
