Verse 27 is referring to his return as Jesus the Mesiah to judge the world at the last days and Verse 28 is him referring to some of them not dying until they see his kingdom expanding leading up to and after his resurection ? Where is the word 'expanding' in the verses? It says some of them will not die until they Jesus coming in his kingdom aka second coming i.e with angels to pass judgement.

The verse does not say the apostles will see ' his
expanding, unfolding and
coming power while they are
still alive.' or 'his unfolding power all the way to
the resurrection' . Jesus did not say 'you will see my expanding unfolding power'
He said ' Truly, I say to you,
there are some standing here
who will not taste death until
they see the Son of Man (Jesus himself, not his expanding unfolding power
) coming in his kingdom.� Coming in his kingdom which he had described in the previous sentence as 'the Son of Man is going to
come with his angels in the
glory of his Father, and then he
will repay each person according to what he has
done'.

They did see Him, and saw what His kingdom really meant. That is where the whole Word of Christ and the Christian message came from. Before they saw Him resurrected they did not understand that His kingdom was not of this earth. After the death and resurrection, and seeing Him again, they understood. They also experienced what Jesus had promised, and that was the coming of the comforter, the Holy Spirit which entered into them at Pentacost, and then they were able to go and do the miracles of Jesus.They saw Jesus ascend to His kingdom. 1.When did Jesus come with angels in the glory of his Father to judge? 'Coming in his kingdom' refers to coming and Judging which he promised to do in the lifetime of some who were listening. 2. If his Kingdom is not of this earth, why will he/why does he have to come back? � Jesus will come in glory to judge at the second coming. <blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"> "'Coming in his kingdom' refers to coming and Judging" Who says it does.� All Jesus said was that you will see me coming[into] my kingdom... which they did when they saw Him ascend to heaven. � He has to come back to oust the devil and make it His own. The seeds have been sown(with Adam and Eve)�and have needed their time to come to fruition, then will be the reaping.

1.He said ' Truly, I say to you,
there are some standing here
who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.�
Coming in his kingdom which
he had described in the previous sentence as 'the Son
of Man is going to
come with his angels in the
glory of his Father, and then he
will repay each person
according to what he has done'.

Matthew 16:27-28 English
Standard Version (ESV) 27 For
the Son of Man is going to
come with his angels in the
glory of his Father, and then he
will repay each person according to what he has
done. 28 Truly, I say to you,
there are some standing here
who will not taste death until
they see the Son of Man
coming in his kingdom.�

The verses are clear enough.

2. There is a difference between coming and going. Going to heaven involves moving away from earth, coming is the complete opposite. Both statements use coming.

3. "He has to come back to oust the devil and make it His own.
The seeds have been sown(with Adam and Eve) and have needed their time to come to fruition, then will be the reaping."Colourful imagination. Please always quote direct scriptual evidence for your position otherwise i may conclude that your position is something you made up in your mind.

MY REPLY �
If you cross reference to Mark 9.1 the break between him talking about his second coming and then later talking about his resurrection is more clearly defined.

Also you cannot read one verse in isolation and out of context with the rest of the bible. So in the light of that -

Jesus often said his Kingdom is expanding, unfolding or developing in power, for example in Luke 13:18 to 13:21 �

Then Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches."

Again he asked, "What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? �It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount [fn] of flour until it worked all through the dough."

Mathew 16 Verse 27 is talking about the second coming. But verse 28 is talking about his unfolding and coming power while they are still alive.

If you read from Mathew 16 onwards into chapter 17 you will see his unfolding power in his transfiguration which is evidence and if you keep reading on to the end of the gospel it demonstrates his unfolding power all the way to the resurrection which many of them were witnesses to.
