The first part of your statement contradicts the second part, first you say no generation could ever see all of them anyway" then you proceed to finish by saying the generation just before his return does see these things fulfilled...............?
No contradiction. You changed my words.
I did not say in the second part that one single lifespan generation would '
see' them.
I said "
only that all of them will be fulfilled".
Will be fulfilled does not mean physically 'seeing' them be fulfilled.
No single lifespan will physically see every sign but by the last day of the last days they will have in fact all been fulfilled.
And Jesus could very well have meant this generation of grace.
and I don't remember specifically stating that WE ,our generation is the one to see these things fulfilled, I'm 385 (in dog years) although I can see certain events transpire which are a leading up to this end time and it's prophecies, I may not see anything but the rest of my life then death followed by my resurrection from death.......so I have no idea why you said "And it does not say we 'see' them be fulfilled
I agree you did not say 'we'. you said:
... only "this generation" will see these things fulfilled, the very end time generation shortly before Christ's return ...
I am hoping those very end people is 'we' but as you say, it may not be.
I was trying to simplify the "
very end time generation" you spoke of, into a simple '
we'.
And as i just stated no single generation of people will 'see' all of them happen they take the entire generation of this age.
Darn manasseh 385?? you are almost as old as dirt.

hehe
Actually it would be you that would have a problem in attempting to prove the apostles seen the abomination of desolation in their generation, since there was no temple left for the abomination of desolation to even be placed..............
The abomination starts before the desolation. The A causes the D silly.
Remember in Daniel there is 3.5 years to the end of D.
This is why it says when you see the A OF D run! so you don't get stuck
in the D.
It is not up to me to prove Jesus was not speaking to the disciples sitting right in front of Him who are showing Him the temple right in front of them.
I trust He was telling them the truth because He cannot lie.
It is up to you to prove He was speaking to someone else.
Most scholars agree the gospels of the Olivet Discourse were written after 70AD. This is why Luke is so accurate with his description.
The antichrist Jews who killed their own Messiah are those who caused their own destruction with war just as stated in Daniel 9:27
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
The book of Acts shows their rebellion and increasing violence and the temple has in fact been destroyed and the city laid desolate.
You have the burden of proof of a NEW holy temple which cannot exist because the antichrist Jews follow the old law. Not only that, try and move those Muslims. Not going to happen.
We are the new temple.
Luke's account states that armies surround Jerusalem and the abomination is not far off from that event
Lukes account says the
desolation draws nigh, not the abomination.
The abomination of the war will cause the desolation.
Basically when the Jews cause a war....... then get out!
Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
There were no nations or their armies that came against Jerusalem in the generation of the apostles, there was only one power then, The Roman Empire and ITS army that came against Jerusalem
Luke does not say "nations". Titus has 4 legions.
Plus dont forget Nero and King Agrippas legions that were sent to help Titus.
They were all sick of the Jewish revolt .
The one point we must focus on is the fact that this Olivet Prophecy given by Christ was a foretelling of the final events that would lead up to his return, the final few years before this event, again the generation living during that particular time in history, ie, the generation living at the time of the Great Tribulation.
The one point we must focus on is the fact that this Olivet Prophecy given by Christ was a foretelling of the destruction of Jerusalem and the old Jewish temple stones being totally flattened along with tribulation of the Church by false prophets and antichrists.
Jesus does
not say any of this:
final events
final few years before this event
the generation living during that time
Jesus
does say:
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Was this in the 'final few years' of whenever??
no:
Act16:37 But Paul said unto them, They have
beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have
cast [us] into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
and last..........Christ did not zero in on the apostles and imply that they would be the ones to see this abomination of desolation personally, he said............
Who else is sitting there with them as He tells them this?
When ye therefore shall see
But when ye shall see
Looks like a simple conversation with His disciples like He always did.
