"And no, no one can change my mind or the words above, an event -> seeing the Kingdom of God and a timeline -> before they die."
Sorry wotsup, the spirit of a great man Mr Jonnie Walker has instructed me to give you one final set of clues.
He muttered something about "Poor wotsup needs relief from bathroom tiles." ?
I battled hard to convince him you were happy and immovable in your belief, though it was plainly the wrong end of the stick.
However he insisted and I was powerless to resist further.
Clue 1
The disciples had already been sent to preach the Kingdom of God. Luke 9:2 "And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."
Why did the Gospel authors use the word "see" in the verses we are discussing ?
What was this "Kingdom of God" they were to "see" ?
Clue 2.
Why did Matthew express it as ...
Matthew 16:27-28
27 For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
28 Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
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" ?
