The final nun ן inherits the meaning of the nun נ as the Son of Man. It has the additional doctrine that the Son of Man died as the tail extends below the lower horizontal of the square text template.

The Son of Man title displays his human nature. It does not deny his divine nature, but simply puts his human nature on focus. In the flesh, Jesus did not use any of his divine nature, though he was still divine. He chose to close his eyes to his divine abilities. This does not make him cease to be God any more than closing my eyes makes me blind.

It is through his death and resurrection that he 'opened his eyes to his divinity', and used the attributes of his divine nature.

Since the Son of Man title refers to his 'emptied' state [1], when he was restored to the glory he had previously, the Son of Man title was put to rest. He would no longer close his eyes to his divine nature.

Greeks try to use philosophy, strawmen, and insults to persuade their followers that Jesus was a superbaby would could fly and turn toy birds into living animals, always looking for a comic book version of Christ. The purpose of his kenosis or emptying, was so that he would face temptation in the same way, and same strength that we have. [2]

The temptation that faced him constantly during his ministry was to take up his divine nature; to embrace it to solve problems. This is similar to the very temptation that we fail every day. When we make choise of good and evil instinctively; without even thinking about it like animals do...we usurp God's prerogative as the one who determines good and evil. We make ourselves to be gods.

Jesus has been taught he is the son of God, he has read the role of the son of God as the Messiah who must die, in the riddles of the mystery hidden from the beginning. Can he trust what he has learned about himself. He is God, but must resist embracing it or he foils his own plan. If he gives into the temptation, he would not have sinned, but he also would not have saved us.

The reward of the Son of Man in being obedient was to cease to be the Son of Man. The Son of Man died and was restored to glory.
