Jesus said, "There are some standing here which shall not taste death till the Son of Man comes into His kingdom,"
Since there is no record of the presence in 1914 of a single early Christian manong, one has to presume that what Jesus was referring to was, of course, the invisible spiritual death of the soul and not by any means to the start of the process of decomposition of the human body.
However, it is quite possible for Mr. Gorden to have quite a different interpretation as he must be quite familiar with what truly happened in 1914.
