“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“ (Matthew 16: 27, 28)
See? OK, John saw it all. Read Revelation.
Also note that Enoch did not die, but was taken by God. Same with Elijah. So, another explanation is that the same happened to one or more people standing there.
Did he "then repay every man according to his deeds?" No, he did not. So those are speaking to different events. You don't get to just ignore context. All you're doing is proving my point that true believers will come to any rationalization to avoid having to accept any disappointment over a failed prediction or expectation. Just as with Jesus, so with Father Christmas. So, no, you were wrong. December 25th would come and go, and all that would change are the rationalizations.
