And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!" 64 Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you [Caiaphas] will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Matt. 26:63-64
Caiaphas did indeed live to see Jesus return in the clouds and with great glory. He would have to have, otherwise Jesus' prophecy would have been false.
Josephus, the ancient world's most respected historian:
Quote:
“Besides these, a few days after that feast, on the one and twentieth day of the month Artemisius, [Iyar,] a certain prodigious and incredible phenomenon appeared: I suppose the account of it would seem to be a fable, were it not related by those that saw it, and were not the events that followed it of so considerable a nature as to deserve such signals; for, before sun-setting, chariots and troops of soldiers in their armor were seen running about among the clouds, and surrounding of cities." (Josephus, The Wars, Book VI, Chapter 5, Section 3)

I don't know what book that is you are referring to, but according to the scriptures: "every eye shall see Him, including those that pierced Him" all means all, including you and I.

Well, Betsey, you very subtly (but not successfully ) evaded my pointed question: Jesus made a prophecy DIRECTLY to Caiaphas that Caiaphas himself would see Jesus literally return to earth with great glory in the clouds:
Quote:
"I say to you, hereafter you [Caiaphas] will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Now, did Caiaphas see Jesus return or was Jesus either mistaken in His prophecy or lying to Caiaphas?
Daniel 7:13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven.
He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.
14He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Yes, Caiaphas saw the fulfillment of Daniel's vision, whether he realized it or not. But I don't think it is what you're trying to make of it.

Well, then, if I understand you, when Jesus spoke those words to Caiaphas He was speaking of a symbolic return, not a literal one, would that be what you're saying?
