This Generation

OOOOHHHH! You are saying that "this generation", if it were 70 years, could not have begun yet as of the moment that he said it, right?

But therein lies the error. First of all, he was telling them what would happen prophetically in their lifetime, referring to "this generation" and not that it would happen in some future generation. He said it more than once in regards to the same people:

Mat 23:
33"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.
37"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. 38Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord

and here:

Matt 24:

32"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.


Before that generation, the generation that began with the birth of Jesus, passed away, Israel (the people/the temple/Jerusalem) was left desolate. And as Jesus prophecied, THEY (Israel) will not see Him again until THEY (Israel) says, "blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord". Israel will be desolated until they believe in Him again!

I'm sorry that was your last response. God bless you in your travels. Don't be a stranger!

I'm reposting this sermon for the benefit of those who only read the latter posts on this thread and didn't come across my original post. To you I would say; If you really want to understand "This Generation" spoken of by Jesus, then grab your Bibles and be prepared to gain great understanding. www.LetGodBeTrue.com - Free Audio Sermons

Has anyone grabbed their Bible yet?

Luke 11:29 Of the yet throngs being convened, He begins to be saying "the generation/genea <1074> this, a wicked one is seeking a Sign and a Sign not shall be being given to it except the Sign of Jonah the Prophet".

Its commentary on the last days of the Judahite kingdom in Jesus's words.
In 621 BCE, as part of his reforms, Josiah celebrated the last revival and passover, witnessed by a child named Jeremiah who would in turn witness the falling away of the same group of people, leading the righteous to be spared, the others to die, all within the space of a single generation.
