Pope Shenouda III
Nevertheless, the Lord Jesus Christ declares that the kingdom belongs to Him, saying: "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt. 16:28). This is concerning the spread of His kingdom on earth. And concerning the end of this age, He says: "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire" (Matt. 13:40-42).
