JESUS has come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, and he is teaching a crowd that includes his apostles. He makes this startling announcement to them: “Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
‘What could Jesus mean?’ the disciples must wonder. About a week later, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John along with him, and they climb a lofty mountain. Possibly it is at night, since the disciples are sleepy. While Jesus is praying, he is transfigured before them. His face begins to shine as the sun, and his garments become brilliant as light.
How strengthening this vision proves to be, both to Jesus and to the disciples! The vision is, as it were, a preview of Christ’s Kingdom glory. The disciples saw, in effect, “the Son of man coming in his kingdom,” just as Jesus had promised a week earlier. After Jesus’ death, Peter wrote about their having ‘become eyewitnesses of Christ’s magnificence while they were with him in the holy mountain.’

No, that is not a correct interpretation. Jesus was referring to the vision that three Apostles were about to see, described in the next chapter (Matthew 17), where Jesus appeared to them as he would be in the Kingdom of God.
Because anyone being immortal in the flesh would contradict other Scriptures that say, "And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27), and, "For as in Adam ALL die, even so in Christ all will be made alive." (I Corinthians 15:22)

Mat 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
He was talking about Christ coming. When Christ resurrected, He was ushering in his kingdom. It has already begun but will not culminate and be completely established until his second coming. None of his followers died until after his ascension.

Matthew 16:28 does no longer mean there are immortal people living immediately. it really is a connection with the shape next recorded in Matthew 17: the Transfiguration. on the instantaneous, Jesus took Peter, James and John up a mountain; Jesus then resurrected the useless body of Moses and observed as Elijah's already-transfigured body decrease back to earth. Jesus' resurrection did not deliver grace. His attoning lack of existence delivered the possibility of grace to those who repent and trust in the Son of God. you're mind-blowing about Matthew 16:27/John 12:40 seven; those are 2 diverse judgements. Believers will never be judged for his or her sins, provided that that's finished properly this second of their salvation. they are going to in uncomplicated phrases be rewarded for the best works (culmination of the spirit) they exhibited for the time of existence. those are referred in the course of the hot testomony as "crowns." the unique Greek note is "stephanos," which skill a wreath-like crown. Jesus, on the different hand, receives a "diadema" crown: the crown of royalty. "StPolycarp77" charges John 21:23 and wonders even if that's added info that assorted the Apostles would stay continually. He misunderstands the objective of Jesus' statement. John lived in spite of each little thing the different Apostles died and received the "Revelation of Jesus Christ." that's what Jesus meant through John very last till Jesus got here. no longer that John would easily stay till the 2d Coming.
