Subject: what about Matt. 16:27 |
Bible Note: 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 |
