  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Moses uses the word "generation" to denote age or epoch. Christ's use is part of a discussion of Israel's ages, so it is probably he is using it in that sense, and is thus speaking of the end of the curse (and gentile trampling of the land).

If we actually read Daniel, we see that his prophecies cover the period of gentile trampling of the land, and they all (or nearly all) end with the millenium -- and those powers being kicked out. If your interpretation were correct, the Romans would have been kicked out of the land in 70AD. But they weren't. Also, your intreperation contradicts Moses' 3-part generation (age) history of Israel which spans is "blessing", "curse" (subjection followed by national destruction, exile, being hated, and wandering), and finally "return" (which includes a return to the land). So your model simply doesn't match any of the linear prophetic presentations of Jewish history.

Are the Jews Israel, or is the church Israel? Or does it depend on the context of the passage?
