Christ promised to come in the Apostles’ lifetime when they would be persecuted by the Jews
Jesus clearly said his coming would be in the Apostles’ lifetime. “But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.” (Matt 10:23)
Who was this ‘you’ that Jesus was speaking to? Was it all Christians throughout all ages? No, Jesus was speaking to his twelve disciples about events that were to happen during their lifetime.
He clearly told them that He, the Son of Man, would come while they were encountering persecution in the cities of Israel. He would come as they were fleeing from one city of Israel to another.
