Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
(Mat 16:28 KJV)


Matt 16:28 is commonly taught to be referring to the Transfiguration on the mount. THIS IS NOT TRUE.These text must be understood within their Sentence structure and context.. He speaks of the death the lost will experience at His coming. Please follow along

26) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
We (any man) are to deny ourselves, take up the cross and follow Him

27) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

We (whosoever) will lose our life unless we deny ourselves, take up the cross and follow Him.

28) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Our life, our soul shall be lost (we shall taste death) unless we deny ourselves, take up the cross and follow him

29) For (because) the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Our life, our soul shall be lost (we shall taste death) unless we deny ourselves, take up the cross and follow him. For (because) the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

30) Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Truly, in respect to what was just said, I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, lose their life, their soul, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. In the glory of His Father with his angels; when He shall reward every man according to his works.
(Mat 16:24-28)

May the Lord continue to bless us all in all His Way Jesus Christ

I think that your comment has a YES and a YES answer.

Yes in that those who are lost will loose "everything" when Jesus comes, either at death, the Rapture or the 2nd Coming of Christ. All 3 of those events close the door of salvation to the lost who have heard the gospel but rejected it.

Then YES in that the Transfiguration fullfilled for the Apostles of that day. When Jesus was glorified along with 3 of his disciples present, this statement was fulfilled.

I would also say that the Transfiguration of Jesus does not prove nor set forth the diety of Christ. It sets for the HUMANITY of Christ. It was the proof of His humanity and the HOPE for humanity. The "Man" we see glorified there with his disciples is the kind of person that YOU and ME will be someday if we are a child of God through the "New Birth".

1 John 3:2........
" Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. "

sorry not anything to do with OP...

I don't always follow.. but those that are 'lost' may even be those who are in a church and hadn't confessed and repented of their sin of abusing someone.
Jesus did say of those people (Judas was one of them) that it was better they had not been born. Some do pretend to follow after God, but they are following their own bellies, and taking the Lord's name in vain. This was why in the NT Paul warned against false teachers.

People might reject a corrupt man-made church but rejecting Jesus is another matter, for He wouldn't do a thing like that.

Satan does imitate God and want to be God (even calling himself 'the god of this world') and may people are fooled. Satan likes to quote little bits of scripture out of context all the time. It would be like if you just cut the Bible up into little pieces and threw them around and said Oh but it says this but you've just cut a sentence out of the Bible at random without telling the whole story.

It's also kind of like when people pull out statistics to justify anything they say, thinking everyone's going to be impressed by the figures.
