Subject: Christ comes in power for 1260 days! |
Bible Note: 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 |
