quote:
For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.
First it is just a strong tone that 'all this shall be witnessed'. Second tasting death means to follow the normal death process till you decend to Hades. But not everyone shall taste death, there are those saints not tasting death (not complete the process of death) are still in the paradise (perhaps in third heaven) named Abraham's Bosom. They continue their witness there, perhaps including Moses and Elijah.
It is the same thing as follows,
quote:
John 21:22-23
Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me." Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?"
™ Version 4.2
