   0:00 - 0:47
2. If humans acting like animals is bad, what's so biblically bad about animals?
   0:48 - 0:48
3. "I've got a question about humans and animals. It seems like animals get a really bad rap. You've been talking about when humans don't pass the test or live as they're made to live, they're not truly the image of God. They act less than human, or to be true, they act like animals. And I'm wondering what about animals is so bad or so wrong? Or are you trying to communicate about a different reality than an animal?" - Matt from Australia
   0:49 - 6:15
4. Are the empty thrones in Daniel 7 for the Son of Man or for the judges in the court?
   6:16 - 6:16
5. "In the podcast episode (The Empty Throne), Tim refers to the empty throne in Daniel 7, but if I read Daniel 7 in different translations, verse 9 says "thrones," and verse 10, "the court place." So I get the conclusion that thrones are set for the court. In Matthew 19:28, Jesus tells his disciples that they will sit on the 12 thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel. I don't assume that's specific because in Revelation it says 24. My question is, where do you get the conclusion that the empty throne refers to the Son of Man because I come to the conclusion that it refers to the court." - Petra from the Netherlands
   6:17 - 12:09
6. Where is Daniel in Daniel 3?
   12:10 - 12:10
7. "This is a question I've always had: where is Daniel in Daniel 3?" - Rachel from Delaware
   12:11 - 20:57
8. Why isn't Daniel the Messiah?
   20:58 - 20:58
9. "My question is: why is Daniel portrayed as a new human, a new Adam, when he is not THE new human, the Messiah to come?" - Stephanie from Virginia
   20:59 - 21:21
10. "I've found this series on the Son of Man really exciting. I have a question about Daniel. I was struck when you were taking us through those first chapters in the book of Daniel that Daniel himself actually seems to be a flawless human being. My working paradigm was that there are no heroes in the Old Testament except for God himself, but Daniel does actually seems to pass the test (or at least to not really fail the test at any particular point). So how do you interpret the figure of Daniel?" - John from North Wales
    21:22 - 25:59
11. Does the term "son of man" represent all the saints or just one person?
    26:00 - 26:00
12. "In Daniel 7:18, 22, 27 it speaks of the saints being given the dominion and kingdom to possess forever. Verse 27 ends by saying, "All dominions shall serve and obey them." But the ESV footnote says it might end by saying, "All dominions shall serve and obey him." Is it a possible interpretation to view the Son of Man as a figurative representation of all the saints of the Most High rather than a specific individual? Or what is the connection between the individual and the collective groups of saints?" - Sam from Ohio
    26:01 - 40:12
13. Is the use of "son of man" in Ezekiel different from its use in Daniel?
    40:13 - 40:13
14. "I was curious about the use of the word "son of man" in other Old Testament books such as Ezekiel. Ezekiel appears to be written before Daniel, and they use the exact same word, "son of man." I wonder if you know if it has a different meaning, and if not, how is it related to Daniel's use of "son of man?" - Douglas from Rwanda
    40:14 - 43:17
15. What does it mean when humans are referd to as children of God in John 1:12?
    43:18 - 43:18
16. "I love the conversation about the Son of God and how he's someone God gave that title. How, with that definition, do we read John 1:12 that whoever receives him will be called a son of God? How do we understand that, or does John have a different definition in mind?" - Ivan from El Salvador
    43:19 - 57:05
