MK 8:39 And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
Also see: Mark 13:24-33, Mathew 16:28, Matthew 24:34, Luke 9:26-27, and probably some stuff that slips my mind.
Jesus constantly proclaimed that the people he was talking to and that generation would witness the end of days - essentially placing it the 1st century CE?
Whats up with that?
Now just dont tell me its not meant literally, its a clear statement found in different books (Mk,Mt,Lk) even sealed by his "Amen"
It is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, its not a metaphor - unless you would suggest all his words to be metaphoric.
