If you look at these two verses, Matthew 16, verses 27 and 28, it starts out with Jesus talking about Peter's objection to Jesus' announcement that he was going to be killed by the leaders of the Jew's temple. He is using a practical example to make his point, which is that one must be willing to loose his life to save his soul.
John didn't taste death before he saw Jesus coming in His kingdom. That was fulfilled when John was on Patmos.

They are not going to listen. Not yet at any rate, they're not ready to listen. They still have stoney hearts. Soon perhaps, but not yet.
Jesus, according to the original text, was talking about people in the plural who would still be alive when they "see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
My point was that what Jesus said would happen in regards to that verse was fulfilled in John when he received the vision that became the book of Revelation. He "saw" the Son of Man coming in His kingdom before he tasted death.
He just parrots little blurbs that he picks up from "wise" sounding preachers in YouTube videos.
. . . bring many into the kingdom brother, for you are wise . . .
This supposed name is an invention by people who want to replace Christianity with a spin-off of Talmudic Judaism.
The book of Revelation is about one thing only.The unveiling of Yahoshua(God is salvation).....
The Book of Revelation itself says at its beginning that it is given in sign and portents, but they are portents of things to come, and at least the importanr part was to come to pass soon.
The book of Revelation is not predictions or prophecies of historical events.It is written in metaphor and signs.

What's that matter brother? We're told to preach, not convert. Noah preached for 120 years without a conversion. Lol

Well yeah there is that. Sometimes I get the feeling i'm preaching to empty air.
Taking your own advice about conforming theory with the Bible, where do you find this bit about "the sovereignty of man"?
Your theology needs to match the Word. God does draw all men, but you downplay the sovereignty of man which He created us with.

That's not Biblical. Now it is true that He draws all men to Christ, it's also true that He created man sovereign with free will and will not force anyone to convert. The Bible says it's God's will that none are lost and all men come to repent and accept the gospel, yet Jesus said most will reject it. If it was all God then, and since it's also His will that none are lost there would be none lost.
