Why in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Daniel is the Son of Man called the Son of Man? In Daniel 7 to 11 there are several heavenly beings called “a man” but they are not human beings but angels; archangels. In chapter 7 there is just one who is called a Son of Man; because He is not an angel looking like a man but looks like He actually is a real man. So this is the Messiah’s meaning when He calls Himself the Son of Man; He means He is this Son of Man who Daniel and Enoch saw.
