1 | Matt 16:28 "some" and "see" | Matt 16:28 | following him | 127827 | ||
Tim; I have a question regarding the greek in Matt 16:28. The word "some"...I looked it up myself and found that it could mean "one". Is this an acurate accessement? Would this be a viable interpretaion? Is it possible that this verse Jesus is refering to John only (and the revelation given to him) and not refering to several people. Also the word "see" does it imply experiencing the kingdom not just watching it. If it is just a visual observation then this scripture could very well be refering to the vision John was to receive on Patmos. He indeed saw Christ coming into His kingdom in that vision. Grace to you |

2 | Matt 16:28 "some" and "see" | Matt 16:28 | Morant61 | 127828 | ||
Greetings FollowingHim! The word, 'tives', is translated as some because it is plural in number. It could not be translated as 'one' since it is plural. If it were singular, it could be translated as 'one'. The main problem with this passage is the meaning of 'seeing the Kingdom of God coming in power'. Some view this as a reference to the second coming (preterists). Others, view it as a reference to the transfiguration. However, the kingdom of God is also spoken of as a present reality in Scripture. Personally, I believe the best understanding of Mt. 16:28 is as a reference to the death of resurrection of Christ. This is the decisive moment when the Kingdom of God becomes a reality. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

hello Tim Moran; Thank you for the insight. As you mentioned that the Kingdom was a present reality, I was reminded that many times as Jesus walked along He said that the kingdom of God was at hand and even demonstrated that same kingdom through the miracles He performed. The desciples although given authority to do many things while Jesus was with them; really received power when the Holy Spirit came upon them in Acts. This could not have happened unless Jesus had gone to be with the father. So many of those standing there not only saw the kingdom coming in power but also became the avenue through which God exercised that power to the people around them. I greatly appriciate your help brother Blessing to you. |
