“You are not answering any of my questions. I suspect they are making you uncomfortable since they expose all the weaknesses in your position.”

I’ll go slow and try to make this easy for you. No He did not lie “when He said to him “ you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven”

Here is the fulfillment of the promise that they will see Him coming in His majesty and glory and there will be no mistaking Him for the paper tiger, Rome,

Rev. 20:11-15, “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

There, so even the high priest who died before his return will literally, hyperliterally, see Him in all of his majesty just as Jesus said he would. You see, Jesus keeps His promises, literally, hyperliterally!

I see how you are twisting things here. The high priest was alive and had two functioning eyes when Jesus spoke to him and said, "you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven". But you are free to reinterpret His words and apply them symbolically/spiritually to the final white throne judgment, which is not a cloud coming at all, and has no such language.

BTW, the millions of unbelieving Jews who died in Jerusalem during the "days of vengeance" did not consider Rome a paper tiger. Nor did the disciples who fled when they saw the abomination of desolation (Jerusalem surrounded by armies).
