How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

Thank you for your post and vote.

It seems I saw a thread on the Eschatology board awhile back with that title, and had not heard of it until that thread. Do you remember it by any chance? Thanks

I wish also that there would be more interaction on this issue. Like the thread in Eschatology about "this Generation"; this is a foundational issue between weather the NT is to be read as a new code of law and doctrine to be deciphered or as a narrative history of the fulfillments of the prophets and a fulfillment of the Everlasting Covenant of life to man and 'new' covenant to those under the old covenant law.

Shameless bump.

For those who didn't know, I voted all fulfilled.

The 'generation' SINGULAR that Jesus and many of the O.T. writers depicted is not a GENERATION that can be seen with fleshly eyes...

yet God has been 'dealing' with THAT GENERATION from the beginning and that GENERATION will have an ending exactly as Jesus described in Matthew 24 IF it is understood properly.

Jesus gave us a physical preamble of the EVENT TO COME, so it has been in part fulfilled...but yet to be fulfilled in totality.

That 'GENERATION' is the GENERATION of DEVILS who have not yet passed away. There was ONE in the Garden who IS STILL HERE...and he also has CHILDREN. That SERPENT had children standing in the seat of mankind when Jesus was here, and THEY will still be here to SEE HIM when He comes again, prior to THEM being sent to the FIRES prepared for THEM.

Factor that generation INTO VIEW and Matthew 24 is as clear as a BELL.

Help me understand the verse that says This generation will not pass away before Jesus returns. How does the Greek roughly translate to our modern language as I have always struggled with this.

I know we are not to know the day or the hour, but notice we could know the season, the generation, year or even month then. Maybe

Hi Squint and thanks for your input!

Perhaps to you and I it is "clear as Bell".

I rarely post on the Eschatology board but I do browse thru it and it astonishes me how " confused" much of Christianity is on Matt 24 and Revelation. I found this thread on "Generation" over there:

And those PHYSICAL SIGNS were a WARNING TO THAT GENERATION to not get out of HAND and as a SIGN of what is to come upon THAT generation.

Can you explain why?
