Most attribute the fulfillment of this to the transfiguring of Christ in the glory of the transiguration when he stood appearing with Moses and Elijah on the mountain. The apostles James and John witnessed this. As for the reference in Mark 14:62, he may have been referring to the nation in general rather than the specific person to whom he was speaking or he may have been referring to the time of the resurrection of the dead which will happen in the last days of the age. In this reference he did not specify that it would happen before their death.
If you're willing to take such drastic liberties with the meaning of the words of Jesus himself, why is it so hard for you to accept a non-literal interpretation of Genesis? You can manipulate the semantics all you want, but what you have is a clear-cut double standard.
Incidentally, don't you think the "resurrection of the dead" would imply that they had in fact tasted death before his return?
