The verses below were taken from the New Matthew Bible, not for any reason other than I really love this version. Its a very careful and gentle update of William Tyndales New Testament from 1526
Use any translation you like.
Spoken to his Disciples
Matthew 16:28 Truly I say to you, some there are among them that stand here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Son of man come in his kingdom.
Spoken before the Sanhedrin
Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him, It is as you have said. But I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky.
A warning to the Philadelphians
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come shortly. Hold that which you have, so that no one may take away your crown.
Paul referencing Deuteronomy
2 Corinthians 13:1
Now I am coming the third time to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall everything be established.
Above we have three passages spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ concerning His imminent return.
Let's examine these passages together in good faith. What was Christ saying? To whom was He saying it? And what impact, if any, should these words have upon our present day understanding of biblical eschatology?
