Bible Note: Greetings,
If you are asserting that the Kingdom came on the day of Pentecost there would be a glitch in your thesis especially since you used Matt.16:28
Is this what Matt. 16:28 says?
Matthew 16:28
28 Verily I say unto you, “all of you standing here”, shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
i.e. they were all there for Pentecost, right? The answer is yes but that isn’t what Matt16:28 says now is it?

Matthew 16:28 (KJV)
28 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.
The word "some" is translated from the Koine Greek and it is the enclitic indefinite pronoun “TIS”.
If it would have meant all, as you suggest, The adjective “PAS” would have been used.

The Kingdom that was being referred to is when Christ returns in full visible Glory, Peter, James and John were given a ring side seat for the later coming attraction in Matt. 17;1-3

Matthew 17:1-3 (KJV)
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

When this finally takes place and the Kingdom comes God’s perfect will, will be done on Earth as it is in heavenand the enemies of Christ will be made His foot stool!
Jesus won’t be seated at the right hand of the Father at this time. He will be on the move as displayed in Rev. 1:7.
Revelation 1:7 (KJV)
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I must say you certainly formulated a plausible concept though that took a lot of effort and thinking.
