Thoughts on this timeline?

[Spiritual Jew]

I said it is unlikely that when Jesus made the statement of Matt 16:28 it was not speaking of the transfiguration.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I agree. It's unfortunate that a chapter break was put after that verse because that was a mistake.

We could pick any number of miracles associated with Jesus and say the same thing, such as the walking on water event where the disciples thought he was a ghost (perhaps another type of transfiguration.)

What we can say deterministically is that devils were also "in the people" present. We have no record of their deaths so presumably they are all still alive (if we can call them alive), standing here, and will be when Jesus returns to finish them off. Rev 1:7 shows us those who pierced Him will also see Him upon return and we know those men are long dead but the devils who ALSO fostered those acts are still here.

So, future event.

You lost me there.

You lost me there.

Short version once again: It was not just and only people standing there, or anywhere that day or any other day when Jesus spoke

Read Mark 4:15 and see if you can figure out who else was standing there, in the people, unseen
