Bible Question:
can you explain Mt 16: 28 Does Jesus mean that statement. |
Bible Answer: Let's take Jesus at his word in the plain language you see here (and in the surrounding verses) What do we know (1) Jesus was going to return in Judgement (2) His return was going to take place in THAT generation (before all of them died). The only event that fills this prophecy is the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Jesus did not return in judgement (with reward) in the Transfiguration or in Acts 2. http://www.preterism.info |
