Bible Note: The popular view that Mark 9:1 was fulfilled a week later has two basic flaws. It does not address the question of "not tasting death by any means until after Jesus comes in Kingdom Power." And it ignores the context for "tasting death." Jesus had just shown His concern for those who face death when He is "about to come in glory." The Transfiguration concerned Christ's death. It had nothing to do with "willing to take up our cross and follow Him" until the End. Only members of the Church who "overcome to the End will sit on thrones to reign with Christ." Rev.2:25,26. Mel |
