That&#x27;s interesting, but this is actually what I had in mind:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;matthew&#x2F;16-28.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;matthew&#x2F;16-28.htm</a> Matthew 16:28<p>&gt; 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.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;mark&#x2F;9-1.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;mark&#x2F;9-1.htm</a> Mark 9:1<p>&gt; And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.<p>I&#x27;m sure that can be interpreted many ways, but the meaning seems pretty clear: Jesus himself supposedly said in a sermon that there were people listening to him who would not die before he came back.<p>Even better, perhaps, is Matthew 24:34 (also in other gospels, of course):<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;matthew&#x2F;24-34.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;matthew&#x2F;24-34.htm</a><p>&gt; Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.<p>It&#x27;s always possible to interpret things. However, that is, if anything, even clearer than the above, and interpreting it some other way seems more like a method of getting out of a failed prophecy than legitimate textual analysis.
