"Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."
"this generation" applies to all of the following:
A. A reference to any reader who understands the dialogue. The lifetime of any individual who experiences the process outlined.
The symbolic things mentioned are inside the individual and playing out in his struggle.
B. the "2nd generation" of mankind, that is, the roughly 2000 years that follow Jesus resurrection. The symbolic things mentioned have happened in the world.
C. the "last days" generation. The things are happening over and over right now, and each time they do, they escalate and the cycle is quicker than the last.
D. the men physically in His presence when He spoke. Per item A.
In this manner, we no longer need to "explain how He didn't lie", or concoct prophecies.
"These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever."
