"In Jewish usage the term Son of... did not generally imply any subordination, but rather equality and identity of nature. Thus Bar Kokba, who led the Jewish revolt 135-132 B.C. in the reign of Hadrian, was called by a name which means 'Son of the Star.' It was supposed that he took this name to identify himself as the very Star predicted in Numbers 24:17. The name 'Son of Encouragement' (Acts 4:36) doubtless means, 'The Encourager.' 'Sons of Thunder' (Mark 3:17) probably means 'Thunderous Men.'

"'Son of man,' especially as applied to Christ in Daniel 7:13 and constantly in the New Testament, essentially means 'The Representative Man.' Thus for Christ to say, 'I am the Son of God' (John 10:36) was understood by His contemporaries as identifying Himself as God, equal with the Father, in an unqualified sense"
