Now go and tell his followers. And \{be sure to\} tell Peter. Tell them, ‘Jesus is going into Galilee. He will be there before you. You will see him there like he told you before.’”
What we tell you now is the Lord’s own message. We who are living now might still be living when the Lord comes again. We who are living at that time will be with the Lord, but not before those people who have already died.
Those people will say, “He (Jesus) promised to come again. Where is he? Our fathers have died. But the world continues the way it has been since it was made.”
