Tasting Death

Looking into the account surrounding the Mount of Transfiguration.

NOT TASTING DEATH TILL THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN: REDEMPTION OF THE BODY AT THE APPEARING OF CHRIST?

Mt 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of DEATH, till they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.

Nu 23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the DEATH of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!

Re 9:6 And in those days shall men seek DEATH, and shall not find it; and shall desire to DIE, and DEATH shall flee from them.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

Mt 16:28 and the related verses appear to be saying that the Elect would not tasted DEATH (redemption of the body) until they had seen Christ come in His Glory. Historically, this would have had to be physical death in view. The disciples would see Christ in His Glory (which they did through the transfiguration) before they died. This transfiguration seemed to typify the Revelation of Christ in judgment. The DEATH in view does not appear to be speaking of the second death (judgment on Babylon) because at the revelation of Christ the believers are delivered out of Babylon.
