<p>9:1<em> And he said to them: Truly I say to you: There are some standing here, who shall in no way taste death, before they see the kingdom of God come with power</em>-The Lord will essentially be the same as the Gospels present Him when we see Him again. This is why Jesus even in His earthly life could be called &quot;the Kingdom of God&quot;, so close was the link between the man who walked Palestine and the One who will come again in glory. &ldquo;They see the Kingdom of God come&rdquo; (Mk. 9:1) is paralleled by &ldquo;They see the Son of man coming&rdquo; (Mt. 16:28). Indeed it would seem that the references in the Synoptic Gospels to the &lsquo;coming&rsquo; of the Kingdom are interpreted in the rest of the New Testament as referring to the personal &lsquo;coming&rsquo; of the Lord Jesus (e.g. 1 Cor. 16:22; Rev. 22:20). In that very context of referring to Himself as &quot;the Kingdom of God&quot;, the Lord speaks of His return as 'the days of the Son of man'- the human Jesus. And yet He also speaks in that context of how after His death, men will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, i.e. how He had been in His mortal life (Lk. 17:20-26). As He was in His mortal days, so He will essentially be in the day of His final glory.</p>
