The last days was when the old covenant ended (the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ) or else the last days began after the Resurrection. The Second Coming is a spiritual thing, not a physical thing that you can see with your fleshly eyes. The Rapture is spiritual, not physical; the rapture is the glorification of your body, it is when the Holy Ghost falls on you. After you go through a time of great purification (tribulation), then Jesus comes to you the Second Time.

“The Kingdom comes not with observation.”

Peter, James, and John went with Jesus to what Peter referred to as the Holy Mountain. They saw Jesus perform many miracles in many places but Peter referred to this place in particular as the Holy Mountain because they saw something dramatic happen here. They saw Jesus in all His glory and witnessed the Kingdom. John says in John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” He says he say Jesus’ glory and he was on that mountain when Jesus was transfigured. Peter mentions in 2 Peter 1:16-18 “For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the POWER and COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with Him on the holy mountain.” They saw Jesus in His glory. Something the others haven’t seen yet. Following that verse where He talks about SOME of them seeing it before they taste death, in all three gospels, is this event right here.

Whenever you think the Bible to be wrong, it’s just a misunderstanding. I had to search a little to find this answer myself, but it’s there to find. We must always pray for understanding and as Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”

We must not trust our own limited knowledge but ONLY in God’s infinite knowledge and truth, always! Jesus is never wrong. God is never wrong. The Bible is never wrong, only wrongly interpreted.

Please take a moment next time to search out the truth for yourself knowing that it’s there, regardless of your current understanding of what was read. Seek the truth. Seek Jesus while He may still be found. Before it’s too late.

May God guide your heart to truth and salvation through Jesus Christ, and understanding of His word through the Holy Spirit.

I can’t find it.

Jesus did indeed tell his disciples that there were some standing there that would see the kingdom come before they died. Please note that jesus was asked about the kingdom and responded “the kingdom of God cometh not with observation(you can’t see it)neither shall you say lo here or lo there for behold, the kingdom of God is within you”. This is really clear don’t you think? The kingdom is a spiritual kingdom and can’t be seen. The point most people miss is that the kingdom did come just as he said (in their lifetime). Read acts 2 and you will find that Peter did not say this is similar to what the prophets predicted but he said ” this IS THAT which was spoken by the prophet Joel that it will come to pass IN THE LAST DAYS that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh…”. The last days according to Peter were right then and any other interpretation would call Peter’s statement untrue.The last days simply meant the end of the first covenant and the start of the new whereby we can all (jews and gentiles alike) enter the kingdom. This is why in Colossians Paul stated that “he HATH(already)translated us into THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON”. If Paul could get into the kingdom then, why are we still looking for his kingdom? Jesus also said ” My kingdom is not of this world”; should we deny that he knew what he was talking about. Another thought … in Matthew 24 Jesus was talking directly to HIS DISCIPLES and them ALONE! He never even hinted that anything he spoke about would happen thousands of years later. Read this for yourself and see if this is not true. He never said the frequency of earthquakes meant a sign of anything… same about famines, pestilence, etc. He simply said these are the beginning of sorrows. All this stuff about these things being signs of the last days is false and manmade, it is not in Matthew 24. If you don’t believe this ,show me THE VERSE that says other wise. Also read Matthew 24 verse 34 which clearly says “THIS GENERATION(the one they were living in)shall not pass till ALL these things be fulfilled. There are 15 other places where Jesus used the phrase “this generation or a wicked and adulterous generation” and no one has any doubt that he meant the one present at that time, yet people try to twist his words to fit their purpose. I will take the words of Christ over any theologian any day. Jesus was describing the destruction of the temple and the end of the Jews as the covenant people not some end of the world scenario.( As a matter of fact the Bible never mentions the end of time; Daniel calls it The time of the end. The end of what? Genesis 8 says God will never again destroy every living thing. All these rapture theories describe everyone except the raptured ones being killed cotrary to God’s word.)I know that many will disregard this because they have always been taught otherwise; please take this test (as a dear friend and minister used to tell me… Don’t take my word for it, read it for yourself and see if everything I have said is true. God bless you all and I pray you too will be translated into his kingdom while here on earth.
