[Mark was here]

I'm not as up to speed on the topic of the rapture as you are, so I have a question. When Jesus said something along the lines of “those standing here will see me again”, was he really thinking to himself “yeah, if you simply hang out some 2000 years or so”? To me this makes no sense, but I know others would rather believe he really wasn't being straight up with those he was talking to, and was actually talking to people in our day and age.

Actually I have trouble understanding those who want to get as many Jews into Israel as possible, just so God can destroy them. Red cows, new temples all that.

This is important because we need to stand up to the likes of Obama, and solve our problems, not look to our problems as “a sign” that Jesus was not being straight up with those he was talking to.

In that instance He is not speaking of the Rapture but of the coming Mount of Transfiguration. And they instantly knew who Moses and Elijah were, despite being separated by about 1400 years and 600 years, respectively.
