Biblical Prophecies Atheists Love Part 3

In Matthew Chapter 10 we read where the Savior says the following:

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.

In this section Jesus very matter-of-factly states that His second coming would occur before the disciples returned from the mission on which He was sending them. This, of course, did not happen and as far as I know; and I'm pretty sure about this, the Second Coming still hasn't occurred! ;-}

If we use the standard enemies of the LDS Church use; and most of them claim to be Christian, then Jesus has to be declared a false prophet. Jesus is the Savior of the world, the only perfect man who ever walked upon its face. Jesus made hundreds of prophecies and this one simply requires that one understand how prophecy is to be interpreted before getting uppity and declaring the Jehovah of the Old Testament to be a false prophet. For obvious reasons, it is absurd to accuse Jesus of being a false prophet. I am simply pointing out that if our enemies are to be consistent, then it is they who must make this declaration. As Latter-day Saints, we find such an accusation to be patently absurd!

Could it possibly be that Jesus was addressing the office of an apostle instead of the men standing before him who held that office? Readers of this blog will remember that this sounds an awful lot like the story of David W. Patten.
