Significance
This climactic self-revelation combines Daniel 7:13 and Psalm 110:1, previously cited separately. Jesus' "I am" may echo Exodus 3:14's divine name. From Daniel 7 comes the Son of Man receiving eternal dominion; from Psalm 110 comes sitting at God's right hand. The combination is offensive because: (1) Jesus claims to share God's throne and prerogatives; (2) At his own trial, he cites Daniel 7's courtroom vindication; (3) He implies ousting present temple leadership; (4) He casts opponents as Daniel 7's fourth beast. Jesus' "you will see" promises vindication in their lifetimes through the temple's destruction (AD 70). This is Mark's christological pinnacle—Jesus as faithful Israel's representative Son of Man sharing God's authority.

Hermeneutical Notes
Prosopological Shift: Referent shifts from Daniel's mysterious "one like a son of man" (third-person apocalyptic vision) to Jesus himself, speaking in first person: "I am, and you will see the Son of Man…" Jesus's prosopological identification with the figure of Daniel 7 is the verdict-securing claim that earns him the charge of blasphemy.
NT Use Pattern: Assimilated — Half of the composite Daniel 7:13 + Psalm 110:1 self-identification Jesus voices before the Sanhedrin. The Son of Man's cloud-coming and right-hand-seating are fused into one claim.
