I am reasonably sure there is some verse in the bible to the affect that Jesus would return within his followers lifetimes, but I cannot find it, anyone help me with this? Thanks

(From KJV)

Quote:

Mark 9:1 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.

However, some will say that "kingdom of God come with power" means "the transfiguration." and some others will say that John did see this -- in a vision -- he saw it, just as the verse says, and wrote about what he saw in Revelations.

Matthew 24:34, Matthew 10:28, and of course the passage the previous poster mentioned.

Here is 101 verses which see to indicate that Jesus was going to soon return and or the kingdom of God was about to come.

Here is another study of the greek word mello which it is argued indicates the return Of Christ
was supposed to have happned long ago.
