you are right Matt 16: 28 Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

that clearly indicates that the kingdom would come in the lifetime of His listeners - i.e. by 70 AD

That corroborates with
Mark 1:15 Jesus came into Galilee, [k]preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God [l]is at hand; repent and [m]believe in the gospel.”

and

Matthew 3:2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

good catch

and Col. 1.13-14 says first century Christians were in Christ’s kingdom:

13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; 14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:

Thanks for your input.

Do you also accept from Mt. 16.27 that Jesus came in the glory of his father with his angels, and judged every man while some of his disciples were still alive?
