Why did the Gospel authors use the word "see" in the verses we are discussing ?

Sign,.... way they spoke back then as in, seeing and hearing is not necessarily literal seeing or hearing.
A bit like, those of God hear God's word, when in fact, their not literally hearing anything.

Yes, but why did Jesus use "see" the Kingdom ?
He could have said know, experience, receive, hear or the Kingdom will dwell in you, but specifically used see.
Why did he add "verily I say" to emphasize the event of the preceding verse and say it would happen within their own generation.

You should not dismiss this by imagining it was just a "comforting" throw away line.
If that was what Jesus was doing, it would have been expressed differently.

"
I gave you all the things, explanation the Bible shows that Matt was or could have very well been referring to with each of these aspects in 27.
"

It's not just V27 but V28 ... which you seem to avoid.
Matthew specifically detailed Jesus returning spectacularly to repay each according to what they had done and described it as "
see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.
".

Again wotsup, this is unmistakably the same events as in the Olivet discourse. The grand "Second Coming" of the Messiah.

"As for your clue 3 or point 3, I showed you from history how that comment, thought, falls flat on it's face."
Nope you completely missed the question.

This is clue 3.
"Clue 3
The meaning of the Bible has been examined, contested, argued and wondered about for thousands of years by the most devout and intelligent minds of both believers and doubters.
Do you really think it is wotsup ... in between building his wife's heavenly dream on Earth, and saddled with the usual lack of education for his time and circumstances, that has actually discovered "the truth" ?"

The first sentence is not in dispute it is simple uncontested fact.
The second sentence is the question I asked of you.

"As I have to plan how I am going to spread out 7 semi loads of recycled bitumen stored in front of my shed, over my limestone driveway and compact so where not sucking on dust every time we drive in and out of the property."

We drive just over 3 Km to reach our driveway which is then about another K ... all dirt road.
What's wrong with a bit of good old honest dust !!

No, you have simply added, tired to make it grow -> Matthew specifically detailed Jesus returning spectacularly......
Misleading conduct.

Why did he add "verily I say" to emphasize the event of the preceding verse and say it would happen within their own generation.
Once again, you are adding.
Verily (truly) I say,....is in regards to the verse and subject he raised,...the wrap up verse and not the one before it.

As for seeing, whether you like it or Not, it also involves, part of, the Pentecost matter.
Many things were SEEN there.

The first sentence, sets the stage for the next question, come insult.
And I pointed out, your first claim based on History and the Bible, is NOT worth a pinch of salt, it means absolute zero, meaningless and the reasons why, I Gave.
So that in effect and obviously your thinking, raises numerous questions and some of those would probably not be nice, so it might well to leave it alone.
It's not about No's and whose who etc and if you haven't picked that up in the Bible, then it's no point in going there.

Anyway, on this one, I think it might be a good time to let it go.
---------
Drive way -> For one, if you saw the house and despite it being on a rural property, I think you would agree a scruffy old limestone drive wouldn't be fitting or the part.
The original plan was hot mix, before the crashing or thief of the interest rates, our income and when thinking about it, I cannot justify the expence of the hotmix, as we could better utilize that elsewhere.
Plus, out the front of the 3 car garage there is about 7-8mts of exposed concrete, sealed etc, hence coming in on wet (winter) limestone, that would mess that up as well as bringing dirt, rubbish into the Garage, which also links to an entry come drop down zone and another into the scullery and walkin pantry, all with gloss tiles and light in colour.
And, sick of having to wash cars every other day, wife's is a black Rav.

Anyway, I manage to spread out at least 1/2 or more of a semi load.
I have been a bit creative by adding a 4mtr wide screed arrangement to my 3pl rear blade with 2 adjustable skids on either end to control the bitumen thickness being laid.
Made it so I can also set a camber for water run off.
Going to take a few trial runs to get the hang of this creation. lol.
You have to get creative, inventive, so you can do things solo.
You know the saying,......If it's to be, it's up to me. lol.
Obviously I will higher a vibrating roller at the appropriate timing.
