Jenny,
Jesus told his disciples- some standing there would see the kingdom of God.
That was a prophecy of His transfiguring on the Mount with Moses and Elijah- Peter and John were the two who saw it.

A good place to start learning about all this would be to read Bishop John Shelby Spong's 'The Sins of Scripture' or if you're really brave Douglas Lockhart's 'The Dark Side of God: A Quest for the Lost Heart of Christianity'.
