Mark 14
[FONT="][FONT=Arial][B]61 [/B][/FONT]But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR="#0000CD"] If you will remember, the Priest have all day been beating and questioning Jesus... Having gotten not satisfactory answers out of Him, The Chief Priest lays down the Blasphemy card...Yeah that is right,,,He is asking him if HE is GOD.
[FONT="][FONT=Arial][B]62 [/B][/FONT]And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR="#0000CD"]As the verse 62 states, Jesus told him with the FInal Authority..."I am", Then he adds something that most people who symbolize/allegorize scriptures miss....Ah you did..?????? Jesus even calls the High Priest out with "YE". There is no one else involved here except the High Priest "Ye".
Think about it,,,where is the High Priest going to see Jesus. Is He a believer,,,NO....Where will Jesus be setting at the White Throne Judgement???....oh yeah, this High Priest is going to see him and when His Father ask about this man, Jesus will tell Him, 'I know Him NOT';
There is another part of this verse that seems to have you baffled???? "and coming in the clouds of heaven."....Yes His soul will see Him coming in the Clouds for His 2nd Advent. Yes, the Souls who are Dead will see Him...
Check out Rev. 1:7....." Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
WHo are the ones who pierced HIM...HERE He tells everyone that ALL PEOPLE and their SOULS on Earth will see HIM coming in the Clouds.
[FONT="]63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
OK,the high priest did not see that. It is OBVIOUSLY FUTURE.
But,under your rule of understanding ,we must conclude,Jesus' second coming in power,has already happened[/FONT]
