Matthew 16:28
I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will
not taste death before they see the Son of Man
coming in his kingdom.
Mark 9:1
And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who
are standing here will not taste death before they
see the kingdom of God come with power.
Luke 9:27
I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will
not taste death before they see the kingdom of
God
Obviously everyone that heard Jesus say this is no
longer living, so it seems this prediction by Jesus did
not take place. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what
the 'Kingdom of God' is. Or maybe Jesus is saying that
salvation brings life, and physical death is not important.
I think that is was the pervading belief among early
Christians that they would live to see the second
coming of Christ, as evidenced by some of the letters
of Paul. How am I misinterpreting this?

I too have marveled at that scripture. I'm following with keen interest

The prediction took place roughly 40 years later.

Romans invaded Jerusalem in August of A.D. 70, after a five-month siege destroyed the Temple.

It is the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D, they lived to see, without tasting death

The Temple was completely destroyed about 40 years after Jesus died.

So some of them witnessed the kingdom of God come with power at the destruction of the temple just as Jesus prophesied

The Nicodemus' and the likes can't, won't or don't see the Kingdom of God even if staring them in the eyeballs

For some of those people, not born of above then, to see, they saw 40 years later

# Number 40, again. Deja vu?

I don't think you solved it

It means that Peter, James and John would see the kingdom of God come with power at the mount of transfiguration some days later.
