@Alfredovich65@JordanAcademia0 Even in 11QM, Melchizedek takes the place of Yahweh in Ps.82. which Jesus quotes in John 10. Making the identification with the God of Israel hard to avoid.
@JordanAcademia0 The authority to forgive sins comes from his identification as the Second Power in Heaven of Daniel 7 who in the OG is identified as the Ancient of Days.

@MockClay If the Son of Man in 1 Enoch 48:2โ3 is not being "given" the divine name but rather being summoned, does this mean that he cannot be viewed as a "possessor" of the divine name or that he simply did not "acquire" the name in this passage or can he still be viewed as such?
