I do not think there is even one Christian in ten millions
who really has a precise idea or a definite knowledge about
the origin and the true signification of the term “the Son

strength to destroy and disperse the birds of prey and the
ferocious beasts that were tearing and devouring his sheep
and lambs! The Jews who heard Jesus (pbuh) speaking of

“sheep,” and the other idolatrous nations of the earth
under various species of the birds of prey, ferocious
beasts, and unclean animals. The Prophet Hezekiel is
usually addressed by God as “Bin Adam (pbuh) ,” that
is, “the Son of Man” (or of Adam (pbuh) in the sense of
