The coming of the "Son of Man" from the Talmud Sanhedrin 98a
From Talmud Sanhedrin 98a (So much is hidden in the Hebrew of the Talmud)
§ Rabbi Alexandri says: Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi raises a contradiction in a verse addressing God’s commitment to redeem the Jewish people. In the verse: “I the Lord in its time I will hasten it” (Isaiah 60:22), it is written: “In its time,” indicating that there is a designated time for the redemption (Salvation/Yeshua) , and it is written: “I will hasten it,” indicating that there is no set time for the redemption. Rabbi Alexandri explains: If they merit redemption through repentance and good deeds I will hasten the coming of the Messiah. If they do not merit redemption (Salvation/Yeshua), the coming of the Messiah will be in its designated time.
אמר רבי אלכסנדרי רבי יהושע בן לוי רמי כתיב (דניאל ז, יג) וארו עם ענני שמיא כבר אינש אתה וכתיב (זכריה ט, ט) עני ורוכב על חמור זכו עם ענני שמיא לא זכו עני רוכב על חמור
Rabbi Alexandri says: Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi raises a contradiction between two depictions of the coming of the Messiah. It is written: “There came with the clouds of heaven, one like unto a Son of Man (Bar Enosh)…and there was given him dominion and glory and a kingdom…his dominion is an everlasting dominion” (Daniel 7:13–14). And it is written: “Behold, your KING will come to you; he is just and victorious; lowly and riding upon a donkey and upon a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9). Rabbi Alexandri explains: If the Jewish people merit redemption (Salvation/Yeshua) , the Messiah will come in a miraculous manner with the clouds of heaven. If they do not merit redemption, the Messiah will come lowly and riding upon a donkey.

Yes this is in the Talmud - Sanhedrin 98 a There is a lot more there to see. Come and See .....
I'm so exciting to read this post, just resteemed it. Thank you for the information.
You are very welcome
The details about Jesus in the talmud and Zohar are amazing. More amazing is the blindness placed so it cannot be seen so often.
I cannot understand this blindness I have the opposite problem - I only find God everywhere I look - to the point I am a Pantheist a Spinozist ... God present in all things
This is the Copy of the Zohar I study .... The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Vol. 1 by Daniel C. Matt http://amzn.to/2ylBRwK
I had no Idea that Jesus existed in the Talmud until I learned that his name is Yeshua and in the Talmud he is called Yeshu ha Notzri .... Jesus the Nazarene. In the Talmud he is executed for Sorcery and leading Israel astray for saything that he is God. - pretty much exactly as the story is told in the New Testament -
great post!
Thanks
