Subject: Where do I go from here? |
Bible Note: Hello Tim: You write: but where exactly did Jesus say point blank to His disciples, "Some of you will live to see Me return"? there is a big difference between a direct statement and a statement which you interpret to mean something. ;-) -------------------------------------------- Let's see what it says: KJV: Matthew 16: 27-28 "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." The Book chose to say the above in this manner: Instead of having Jesus referring to himself in the 3rd person, the 1st person is used: "For I, the Son of Mankind, shall come with my angels in the flory of my Father and judge each person according to his deeds. And some of you standing right here now will certainly live to see me coming in my kingdom." Your question again: where does it say that some will live to see Jesus's return? Well, I just read the two passages again, and again. Guess I don't understand your interpretative problem? Treadway |
