Mark 13:26 is just one example of the many temporal markers of God's soon coming judgment (not postponed for over 2,000 years!). Here are some others in Matthew and Mark.
Matt. 10:23, "But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes."
Matt. 16:27-28, "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."
Matt. 23:29-36,37-39
Matt. 24:33-34, "so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place."
Matt. 26:64, "Jesus said to him, 'You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.'"
Mark 9:1, "And Jesus was saying to them, 'Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.'"
Here is a list of other NT texts which denote the immediacy of the coming Kingdom of power:

1 Thess. 2:16
Heb. 10:35,37
