bible3 Son

Son is used generically throughout the Bible, but the  particular use is for the Son of God.

First case:

“Gen.5

1. [3] And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:”

Second case:

Matt.14

1. [33] Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

The first is commonplace; every man born is the son of a father.

The second is unique, at least in theology, in the Bible and with Blake.

In the Bible you may find many occasions:

Daniel 3

[19] Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
[20] And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
[21] Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
[22] Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
[23] And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
[24] Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
[25] He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

And at Matthew 4, the words of Satan:

Matt.4

1. [3] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
2. [6] And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

And at  Matt.27:

1. [40] And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
2. [43] He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
3. [54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 

And many others.

In Blake I’ve chosen only two:

1. Such is our state nor will the Son of God redeem us but destroy

                                                                The Four Zoas [Nt 7a], 87.59; E370:
"Enitharmon answerd I behold the Lamb of God descending

To Meet these Spectres of the Dead I therefore fear that he
Will give us to Eternal Death fit punishment for such
Hideous offenders Uttermost extinction in eternal pain    
An ever dying life of stifling & obstruction shut out
Of existence to be a sign & terror to all who behold
Lest any should in futurity do as we have done in heaven
Such is our state nor will the Son of God redeem us but destroy"

Erdman 369-70)

2. Babel mocks saying, there is no God nor Son of God

                                                                Jerusalem, 60.56; E211

"O Lord & Saviour, have the Gods of the Heathen pierced thee?
Or hast thou been pierced in the House of thy Friends?
Art thou alive! & livest thou for-evermore? or art thou
Not: but a delusive shadow, a thought that liveth not.          t
Babel mocks saying, there is no God nor Son of God
That thou O Human Imagination, O Divine Body art all
A delusion."

Here is Blake's Vision of the Son of God in Jerusalem, Plate 76:
