1 | Could Mark 9:1 refer to Acts 2:1ff? | Mark 9:1 | Morant61 | 43203 | ||
Greetings Searcher! The Bible Knowledge Commentary lists five possible identifications of the phrase "the Kingdom of God come with power": "(a) Jesus’ transfiguration, (b) Jesus’ resurrection and Ascension, (c) the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4) and the spread of Christianity by the early church, (d) the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome in a.d. 70, and (e) the second coming of Jesus Christ." The author then continues: "The first of these is the most reasonable view in this context. The specific time reference in the following account of Jesus’ transfiguration (Mark 9:2a) indicates that Mark understood a definite connection between Jesus’ prediction (v. 1) and this event. Jesus’ transfiguration was a striking preview and guarantee of His future coming in glory (cf. 2 Peter 1:16-19)." Like Scribe and this author, I think the best choice is the transfiguration since it is mentioned immediately after this comment in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The only drawback would be that the phrase "some standing here will not taste of death" would seem a bit unusual for an event which occurs so soon after the comment. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, I'd choose the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The main reason is that it is the enablement to the kingdom of God to start. It was an awesome start. Searcher | ||||||
