1 | what about Matt. 16:27 | Matt 16:28 | Mommapbs | 67311 | ||
Greetings in our Saviour's Name! I was asked about this verse today and thought I'd consult the Forum on it. I agree that this is in reference to the second coming. My intial reaction to this verse was that the "death" is the second death of Revelation 21:8. So as Jesus spoke these words, He knew that some of those within their hearing would reject Him, thus sealing thier eternal destiny. Comments? mommapbs |

2 | what about Matt. 16:27 | Matt 16:28 | Robert Nicholson | 67350 | ||
Greetings mommapbs: I believe that verse 27 of Matt. 17 is speaking as has been mentioned when Christ comes in glory and power as in 2 Thess. 1: 7-9 where it speaks of Christ coming in judgment against those who have disobeyed the gospel and in v. 10 "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be admired in all them that believe" He is coming as promised in Acts 1 and this same glorified Jesus Christ, his feet will rest again on the mount of olives from whence he left. However, in verse 28 "...there be some standing here which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" I believe speaks of Peter, James and John in chp 17 where they saw his coming glory in miniture during his transfiguration. John later writes "...and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth" (John 1:14) I think that John is referring to that day when he along with Peter and James had the joy of seeing the Lord Jesus when "he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as light" Matt. 17:2 God bless Robert |

3 | what about Matt. 16:27 | Matt 16:28 | Mommapbs | 67401 | ||
Greetings Robert, I appreciate your response and do consider this train of thinking, however, how is "coming in His kingdom" pictured in the Transfiguration? I suppose one might infer that this affirmation of Christ's divinity reveals Him as KING. And yes, the disciples beheld His glory; but at this point I'm hard pressed to say that they saw Him "coming in His kingdom." (This is just my personal opinion - open to change as led by the Spirit.) Either way, isn't it wonderful to KNOW that Jesus IS coming back! Oh that will be glory! Maranantha! mommapbs |

4 | what about Matt. 16:27 | Matt 16:28 | Fatherof4 | 127693 | ||
Mommapbs, OK so you see Matt. 16:27-28 as Second Coming verses. I agree. Did you notice that Jesus said he was returning in THAT very generation (before all of them died)? The Second Coming is history. http://www.preterim.info. | ||||||
