- There is nothing to even suggest he is saying the people standing there would
- witness the return and judgment (which "comes in his Father's glory with the
- holy angels" sounds much more like).
- Jesus said they'd see the kingdom of God come with power, which they did when
- they witnessed the Transfiguration and when they witnessed his death and
- ressurection.
- As far as the Transfiguration is concerned, shoot God was there talking to
- people from a cloud and two Prophets that have been dead several centuries
- are hanging out. Sounds like alot of power to me.
