What did Jesus mean in Mathew 10:23 16:28, 26:64. please no Theology just plain and simple literal interpretation. Love in Christ Jesus RC Scroll |
Bible Answer: Greetings RC! Plain and simple? Okay! Matthew 10 starts with the sending out of the 12 to minister. However, as the passage progresses, events at the end of time come into view. How do we know? Simple, v. 22 tells us. That verse speaks of those who stand firm to the 'end'. Thus, v. 23 is simply a promise that when that 'end' comes, those who are being persecuted will not be able to travel throughout Israel before Christ returns. 2) Matthew 16:28 simply says that some of those standing there would not taste of death before they saw the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. What event that would be is not revealed in the text. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
