Bible Question:
What does this verse mean? ( Luke 9: 27 ) Ngop |
Bible Answer: "Jesus promises that His Kingdom will arrive within the lifetime of His contempoaries. This points to the birth of the Church in general(22:28-30)and to the destruction of Jerusalem in particular. The downfall of the city (70 A.D.) will mark the turning point in salvation history that signals the expiration of the Old Covenant Kingdom and the Establishment of the New." note on Luke 9:27 from Ignatius Catholic Study Bible |
