Critical Times as Foretold

You will need to explain the said unanswered questions then, as based on your repeated cry, it would appear I am missing something?
(nope, I AM not saying I am the I am , mind you, based on what some are saying about the I AM, you could take my words as though I am claiming the I AM status.
And you suggest I am up the garden path lol, just have a look around mate).

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.

What was this "Kingdom of God" they were to "see" ?

I covered this and part of that is the Comforter matter,
Jesus said the Kingdom is near, in your midst = partially within him, hence what was within has was going to request that is came back and along with that, or by means of, Jesus would come as well.
Hence, they would have both God the Word and Jesus the Word of God, dwelling within them.
To aid, or means of them being able to endure to the end as Jesus pretty much said one would need to do.

The Door, now Jesus to the Kingdom (Dabar) was reopened.

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.”

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.

You appear to ignore the point, Jesus pretty much says, no one can do it on their own.
Now seriously, do you not think he's not going to cover how and when you might get aid (some standing here will........), help to enable you to do it, endure the events coming or endure to the end?
----------
As for your clue 3 or point 3, I showed you from history how that comment, thought, falls flat on it's face.
----------
Anyway, gotta go as it looks like the said weather forecast of 35mm is a bit like the boy that cried wolf.
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.
Might be a bit of blood, no sweat and tears lol.

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.

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 !!
