One standard explanation is that "see" doesn't mean to "experience" but rather to "perceive" in their hearts. They'd be fully convinced by grace of the truth of Christ's message, perhaps by the Transfiguration.

Another possibility is that Jesus is referring to the evangelical age that would begin with His resurrection.

A third is that the passages are really about the coming destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans.

You be the judge.
