It does matter. John was still on Earth when he had his vision, Jesus said people would see him coming in his kingdom which did not include Earth, so John's vision on Earth has nothing to do with what Jesus said.

Your'e assuming a lot of nonexistent stuff.
I suppose you're agreeing with that statement since you're upset I challenged it.
I don't agree with what Rex said and I'm not upset.
I was applying the standard you put on Rex, on you, to have your theory conform to the Bible.
I don't think yours does.All that stuff is meaningless to me.
So let me ask you the same thing;
What I was questioning was your invention of the term, "human sovereignty".edit on 16-8-2013 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)
Simply stated ...The Gospel is this.Yahoshua is ......God is salvation..the savior of ALL mankind.

You are out of line...you need to read.SHATTERING THE STIGMA its a thread by the mod Hefficide. It will help you with your attitude and such...If anyone could help posting a link to that thread I would appreciate it...Its another thing I need to learn how to do...thanks
I think you have a godless religion based on a satanic type belief in doing what you want.
Haha!
I didn't invent the term. One of the definitions of "sovereign" is:
"free from external control".
Humans are not puppets or robots.

And I think that is a non sequitur and ad hominem fallacy.

Hmm, Where have I heard that before? Oh Yeah!
Matthew 16
27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
John didn't taste death before he saw Jesus coming in His kingdom. That was fulfilled when John was on Patmos.
en.wikipedia.org...
Some modern scholars have raised the possibility that John the Apostle, John the Evangelist, and John of Patmos were three separate individuals.[3] Certain lines of evidence suggest that John of Patmos wrote Revelation but neither the Gospel of John nor the Epistles of John. For one, the author of Revelation identifies himself as "John" several times, but the author of the Gospel of John never identifies himself directly. Some Catholic scholars state that "vocabulary, grammar, and style make it doubtful that the book could have been put into its present form by the same person(s) responsible for the fourth gospel"
Not good enough! One man's vision isn't a reality of the "Son of Man coming in his kingdom"!
Revelation 1
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
Revelation 2
2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
Luke 21
8 He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.

2. Seeing the Future of Israel
June 7, 2011
Jesus:
....The Pope will enter Jerusalem like I entered it. The city will already have suffered much and Israel will begin to despair, wondering what can be done. Then this figure clothed in white will come, sent by the Father just as He sent me. He will come to save Israel, just as I came. He, too will die in Jerusalem but his death will have a profound effect upon the whole world. For the whole world will weep at his death and his death will bless Israel. Why do I reveal these things now? Why do I bring you to the center of the mystery so quickly? Because the time is short. The events are near. They are not far away.
Comment: Jesus describes what has happened since the State of Israel was formed and why it is now prey to so many enemies. Most important, the Holy Father goes to Jerusalem, dies there, and a series of events begin that save Israel.

Oh, so that's all Jesus meant, huh? All "those" will not taste death before they see a vision of the "Son of Man coming", on their death beds! So Jesus never meant that he would literally come back, just that the faithful would have visions of him coming in his glory! I see. Good to know!
That still doesn't take care of the fact that scholars don't think the John of Patmos was the same John as John the Apostle.
Prophecy fail!
