As shown recently in other posts, the title “Son of Man” which Jesus associated Himself with in His Earthly Ministry is a title with Divine Undertones. The reasoning behind this is because the “Son of Man” that Jesus claims to be is the Son of Man that receives worship from all of the nations. Something that Yahweh alone receives (see Ps 117:1 and other passages). This is not a private interpretation, rather an interpretation taken by the Early Church historian Eusebius;

24. For instance, Daniel the prophet, under the influence of the divine Spirit, seeing his kingdom at the end of time, was inspired thus to describe the divine vision in language fitted to human comprehension: For I beheld, he says, until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was a flame of fire and his wheels burning fire. A river of fire flowed before him. Thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. He appointed judgment, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:9-10

25. And again, I saw, says he, and beheld, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he hastened unto the Ancient of Days and was brought into his presence, and there was given him the dominion and the glory and the kingdom; and all peoples, tribes, and tongues serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14

26. It is clear that these words can refer to no one else than to our Saviour, the God Word who was in the beginning with God, and who was called the Son of man because of his final appearance in the flesh.

Church History (Book 1) Eusebius

Amazing! Eusebius correctly identifies Jesus as that “Son of Man” in Daniel 7:13-14. That “Son of Man” that is in possession of an everlasting Kingdom and receives worship from all of the nations!
