Bible Question:
Mark 9:1 And Jesus was saying to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power." Can someone please explain this verse for me? |
Bible Answer: Mark 9:1-3 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 2 Peter 1:16-18 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. Peter says that he saw the Glory and Majesty of the Coming of the Lord in Power when he saw Him transfigured on the holy mount. So we know from that, that Jesus was saying that the some of them was Peter James and John. They saw in the transfiguration and type of what we all will partake of when we are changed in a twinkling and are glorified and rise and meet the Lord in the air when Jesus comes again. |
