Son Of Man was the third album from Hazakim, and the second album they released on Lamp Mode Recordings. The album released on September 23, 2014, the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah of that year.[1][2] Son Of Man was the group's first album to make it onto the Billboard chart; peaking at numbers 10 and 40 in both Christian and Gospel categories respectively.[3]
Theme
Following the release of Theophanies, five years earlier, Hazakim released Son Of Man on Lamp Mode Recordings in 2014. They chose September 23, the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, as the release date due to the album's heavy emphasis on Biblical eschatology and the second coming of Jesus.[4] In Hazakim's belief system, Rosh Hashanah, also called "the Feast of Trumpets", will find it's fulfillment in the second advent of the Christ.[5] In Jewish tradition, the blowing of the shofar, or "trumpet" made of a ram's horn, is also associated with the story of the Akedah, or binding of Isaac, as well as a call to repentance and introspection. Both of these themes are heard on Son of Man.
The title of the album has it's roots in the same phrase found in the Book of Daniel's seventh chapter, where the Jewish prophet sees in a vision a divine man, whom he calls "Son of Man" coming on the clouds of heaven to establish an eternal kingdom. In the Gospels, Jesus often used this title to refer to Himself. In premillennial eschatology, the fulfillment of Daniel 7 is the second coming of Christ when he rules for a thousand years, according to the Book of Revelation.
