2 | Christ comes in power for 1260 days! | Mark 9:1 | Lastday | 97093 | ||
Darcy, We still need to settle why Jesus had only "some" in mind who "would not taste death, by any means, until after they had seen the kingdom of God coming in power." His challenge relates to those who must still expect to taste death when "time is no longer and He is about to come in glory." "Truly," this mandate was so important that Jesus actully closed His Mission purpose for coming to build His Church with this mandate for "some who would taste death." A week later He took Peter, James and John to the Mount of Transfiguration. You observed that this mandate for death "began to be fulfilled in Mark 9:2" a week after He spoke these words. I am saying the context for an appointment with death relates to being unashamed of Jesus when He comes in glory with the angels to reward every believer (See parallel, Matt.16:27,28). His prediction to those who heard Him could not relate to the first century becaue they ALL died. He said only "some would die." The context was that of being "unashamed of Him at His coming in glory when it is *about" to happen!" I do not believe His message was merely informational, but that it was connected with being faithful unto death even when some must still taste death after they have seen God's Kingdom Power at the Endtime of Rev.12:10,11 when all Believers will Overcome because "they will love not their life unto death." I can't help but feel you are satisfied with the only reason for the prediction was to assure Peter, James and John alone that they must die ... but without saying when or why??? Mel |

3 | Christ comes in power for 1260 days! | Mark 9:1 | DarcyA | 97096 | ||
Irts a type of His second coming. Notice it he Went up to the mountain after 6 days. I'm sure you know about the 6 day theory. The 3 people that went to the tranfiguration is 1/4 3 out of 12 disciples. This is a type of the tribulation then the second coming of Christ in a sense. Of course you have to take it first and foremost in the contect of the verse but I believe the type which is a little deeper is a type of the second coming. I believe that Christ showed His second coming through the mount of transfiguration. Useing the 6 days as people know of as the six day theory, Useing also how tribulation saints would survive the tribulation until His return. | ||||||

I don't share the view of a six-day theory because Luke says it was "about eight days." I do agree with you that the transfiguration was a type of the second coming. That is exactly why I believe Jesus said that *some* must still face the prospect of martyrdom after He comes in kingdom power in order to fulfill Rev.12:10 when "they love not their life unto death." After all, Endtime Saints are the ones who will need the most encouragement. By saying that "some will still taste death when He is about to come in glory," He indicates that "many will survive to the End and be saved" from physical death as He promised in Matt.24:14! Revelation also promises that those who endure will be "kept from the hour of trial that comes on all the inhabitants of earth ... an hour that Luke states will occur on the Day Christ appears in glory." Luke 21:35,36. Mel | ||||||
