I think that's a very poor explanation. On that particular prophecy, its not talking about the second coming. Jesus said "Some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power". That's a very general thing to say. It doesn't say "you will see the Son of Man coming with power" or "the Son of Man coming to judge", which are clear indications of the second coming. It just mentions the "kingdom of God".
And guess what, they really saw the kingdom of God before dying. You just need to read the next verses: the transfiguration.
There is no "conditional prophecy" here. Jesus clearly said that they would see the kingdom of God before dying and they saw it. Clear as water.

Or its simply about the Destruction of the Temple 70 AD

[dennissprague]

I think sometimes some of my Christian brethren greatly underestimate the significance of 70 A.D.

[babisbabinos]

Or it is simply explained by the transfiguration.

Jesus is quoting Daniel 7. It doesn’t describe the second coming it describes the son of man being given all authority and power. Jesus quotes it again to the high priest before his crucifixion.

Then later the same ones standing there witness Jesus ascend. This DID happen in their lifetimes, Jesus returned to his rightful place and was seated at the right hand and was given authority over all things. Idk why IP does gymnastics to try say it’s conditional when it’s clearly not and clearly was fulfilled

[EyeToob]

The first problem is that Jesus did not spell out conditions or stipulations.

The second problem is the author of Hebrews gave a prophecy against any delay in Christ's coming >> "For, in just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.” - Hebrews 10 : 37

Jesus fulfilled his prophecy by destroying Jerusalem and its temple through the Roman army. That was his second coming which brought the kingdom of heaven, brought relief to the persecuted Church, and caused the Mosaic covenant to disappear.

We find the same cloud comings of God against Babylon and against Egypt in the Old Testament in which He used human armies to judge a nation.

Some in that generation DID witness the Kingdom of God when they witnessed the risen transfigured Christ. It's really that simple.

[codyhillis]

It's called the preterist view. It's older than dirt. He did come back. In 70ad. Just like He would come in power in the OT.... as an agent of judgment to enact His will.

[BiblicalTruth]

In almost every translation Jesus said, “some who are standing here will not taste death…”
Key word-Some
Some saw the kingdom some didn’t?
That may be incorrect, but just an observation

[MeanBeanComedy]

Yeah, no. It was about the Temple being destroyed.

[godswarrior]

Jesus did come back in their time. He came back in judgment during 70 AD Jesus gave the scribes and the Pharisees 40 years to repent and they didn't. So they had to go through the most horrific time that they would ever go through when the temple and Jerusalem were destroyed.

[Alec-yuxq]

But no condition was given here. Jesus just said that this would happen… and it did happen, in 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed.

[robbiehilton]

I’ve heard some bad answers to this question and that might be the worst. Conditional prophecy lol. Also, to the people saying the transfiguration is what he was talking about… that’s the second worst answer I’ve heard. The transfiguration happened within a few days after he said that. What would be the point of talking about the possibility of people not dying before they saw it? Also, 3 people witnessed the transfiguration and they were told to keep quiet about it. Jesus is referring to the destruction of the temple and His coming Kingdom that happened in 70AD. He is not a failed prophet nor is He giving “conditional prophecies”. Everything Jesus said would happen within their lifetime happened.

[theAshesofDecember]

I believe it’s much more simple than that. Christ said they would see the kingdom of God has come with power. They saw Christ die and some even saw him resurrect and ascend. To me, this is the beginning of the kingdom of God that Christ promised would start as a mustard seed and grow. The kingdom is his church which now encompasses a third of the world’s population.

[onetowardslove]

I kinda assumed it was referring to the ascension tbh. There’s other instances where people receive visions of the kingdom like Stephen who sees Christ in his rightful place standing at the right hand of God before he is martyred

[AlignWithJesus]

The coming of the Lord often referred to judgement in the OT. The coming of Christ was prophesied to bring salvation (baptism of the Spirit) and judgement (baptism of fire) for Jerusalem’s unbelief in the messiah. When Christ says He (the Lord) will return, that was the return of judgement on Jerusalem as prophesied, which we saw take place in the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD. Christ goes to the temple twice, seeing it corrupt both times and thus destroying it brick by brick (as a Levitical priest would do to a house that was plagued and stayed unclean). This validates His role as both the eternal high priest and prophet.

[cariboubearmalachy]

In Jeremiah, God gives the conditions under which he will change his mind. But there are no conditions specified in Matthew 24.

[solidsnakebutaduck]

The way I interpret this is that Jesus was talking about “this generation” as in the generation who will see the signs of the end of times. Therefore what is being prophesied here is that the generation who is around when the signs of the end start will not all die before the end comes (Jesus returns)

[liamdoyle]

He says that there are specific signs of when the Temple will fall, and there are some who will see that happen, but of the end of the age, no one knows the day.

Difficult to see how when someone says noone knows when this will happen, you then accuse Him of failing to fulfil it, when He explicitly says noone knows the day.

[blackmartini]

No, the passage says that the generation will see the destruction of the temple. That's what all things means. And that generation did see that. And that the son of man wouldn't come until after that. Meaning that all things is separate from the second coming. They were not promised to see the second coming
