After Last Supper
Israel as a vine
Psalm 80:7-19
Psalm 80 goes on to hint at this great messianic hope when it declares that in the face of Israel’s tragic, lamentable state, their hope is that God would “rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself” (Psalm 80:17). Even the great kings of Israel who represented God’s “right hand” in the world failed. It would be great David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ, who would stand as God’s man at His right hand, the “son of man” who would represent all of humanity in the incarnation. He becomes God’s great victor who exercises God’s kingly rule in the world.1
Israel is the “son of man”; yet, it is Messiah who fulfils what Israel could not.
MacArthur NKJV Study Bible note: son of man. In this context, this phrase is primarily a reference to Israel. In a secondary sense, the “son of man” may allude to the Davidic dynasty and even extend to the Messiah, since he is so frequently called by that title in the NT.
Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 2:21; Hosea 10:1-2
