The Ramp
Angels of God were ascending and descending upon a ladder.
The Hebrew term for ladder in verse 12 is better translated as ramp.
And in verse 13, the phrase “and the Lord stood above it,” is better translated as “the Lord was poised over him,” which could literally be translated as on it.
The Lord was on the ramp (ladder).
This dream was give to Jacob to encourage him.
God appointed angelic messengers to ensure Jacob that He was faithful to carry out His will and plans for Jacob’s life.
More than likely, the angels traversed a stairway rather than a ladder.
Joseph’s Dream
Tell Your Joseph Dream
Son of Man
The term “Son of Man” replaced the ladder in Jacob’s dream, signifying that Jesus was the means of access between God and man.
Son of Man.
The term at times may refer merely to a human being or as a substitute for “I,” it especially takes on an eschatological significance referring to Daniel 7:13, 14 where the “Son of Man” or Messiah comes in glory to receive the kingdom from the “Ancient of Days.”
Jesus used the term “son of man” as a name for Himself more than any other, eighty-three times in the Gospels.
It is a messianic title (Dan.
7:13, 14) that refers clearly to the humanity and the humility of Christ.
Yet it also speaks of His everlasting glory, as Daniel 7:13, 14 shows (cf.
24:27; Acts 7:56).
John 14:6 (ESV) -Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
1 Timothy 2:5 (ESV) - For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
