Hey Dennis. I will be praying for you the rest of Lent.
“In each of the synoptic Gospels, the next event immediately after this promise from Jesus is the transfiguration. Rather than interpreting Jesus’ promise as referring to His coming to establish His kingdom on earth, the context indicates that Jesus was referring to the transfiguration. The Greek word translated “kingdom” can also be translated “royal splendor,” meaning that the three disciples standing there would see Christ as He really is—the King of heaven—which occurred in the transfiguration.”
In addition, “Many of his hearers would see the kingdom of God coming in his power over sickness, demons, and death. Most of them would see him in his glorified form after his resurrection. The kingdom of God is one of power. When we see the miraculous power of God we are seeing the in-breaking of the future heavenly kingdom.”
The Transfiguration occurred one week later. The three Apostles saw the kingdom of God.
