Mark 14:61-62:
61 But He kept silent and answered nothing.
Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

Here everything is clear. Jesus Christ quoted Daniel 7:13-14:

Daniel 7:13-14:
13 “I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.

Here we see two Persons of God:
⠀⠀- the Ancient of Days - the Father.
⠀⠀- the Son of Man - the Son.

How can we be sure that the Son is God, according to Daniel 7?

1. "the Son of Man" connection with God:

"Coming with the clouds of heaven" (Daniel 7:13)

Psalm 104:1-3:
1 O Lord my God, You are very great:
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
...
3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,

Isaiah 19:1:
The burden against Egypt.
Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud,
And will come into Egypt;
The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.

2. "the Son of Man" connection with God:

"Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom" (Daniel 7:14)
"And His kingdom the one" (Daniel 7:14)
"Which shall not be destroyed" (Daniel 7:14)

Psalm 145:10-13:
10 All Your works shall praise You, O Lord,
And Your saints shall bless You.
...
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

Daniel 4:34:
And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever:
For His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation.

3. "the Son of Man" connection with God:

"That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him" (Daniel 7:14)

Deuteronomy 6:13:
Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.

---

So if "the Son of Man" is just a creature and not God Himself, then why should, according to Daniel, ALL peoples and nations SERVE "the Son of Man"? When we are commanded to serve ONLY GOD (Deuteronomy 6:13)?

Well, it's quite obvious, because - Jesus Christ, Who is also called "the Son of Man" - is God Himself in the flesh.
