Churches Of Christ/Matt 16:28

Question
Dear Ernie,

In Matt 16:28 Jesus says that
  
"Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."

My question for you is did Jesus came on the day of Pentecost when the church was established. Because this contrasts with the words of Jesus where he promised the disciples to send the holy spirit on the day of Pentecost.

Please clarify.

Thanks & regards,
Praywin

Answer
Actually he was talking about coming in judgment against the Jews in AD 67-73.  This is a very in depth topic, but I have covered it in great detail on my blog.

The verse echoes what he said in Matthew 24:30 and other places in the NT.

In Truth and Love,
Ernie
