The generation that sees all these things, which are found in verse 25 -27
25 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to
happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Luke 21:25-27
The term this generation in verse 32 refers to the generation that sees the events of verse 25-27.
The key is found in the phrase look up, lift up your heads...
What were they to see if they lifted up their heads?
They would see Jesus coming in the clouds with power and great glory.
Thus the phrase - EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, EVEN THOSE WHO PIERCED HIM!
The answer is a single generation that see's the signs that Jesus gave, which
are the same signs that Matthew gave, will see the son of Man coming in the clouds.

JLB, my question was:
Question: Do Jesus' words "this generation" in Luke 21:32 refer to a single (one) generation? YES or NO
Again, you did not answer my question!
You said:
"The generation that sees all these things, which are found in verse 25 -27"
"The term this generation in verse 32 refers to the generation that sees the events of verse 25-27."
"The answer is a single generation that see's the signs that Jesus gave, which are the same signs that Matthew gave, will see the son of Man coming in the clouds."
These statements do not answer my question. I can tell you spend some time doing this, you are great at avoiding questions you don't want to answer,
These statements are just your opinion JLB!
Show me in Math.24, Mark 13 or Luke 21 where Jesus says:
"This generation shall not pass until ONLY the signs are fulfilled"
OR
"This generation shall not pass until ONLY verses 25-27 are fulfilled"
You have tried to make Jesus' words "all these things" and "all" refer to only verses 25-27. Sorry friend, that won't do, That is not what these words mean. You have added to and twisted the "very real words" of Jesus to try to justify your doctrine.
Here is what Jesus actually said:
Math.24:34 "....until ALL THESE THINGS be fulfilled
Mark 13:30 "....until ALL THESE THINGS be done"
Luke 21:32 "...,until ALL be fulfilled"
Again, you try to make the words "all these things" and "all" mean only verses 25-27 and exclude what doesn't fit your doctrine.
Sorry JLB, "all these things" means "all these things"....."all" means "all"!
JLB, I asked you, "Do Jesus' words "this generation" in Luke 21:32 refer to a single (one) generation"? This question you have not answered but only gave YOUR OPINION that "all" means "only" verses 25-27. This of course does not make a bit of sense!
Once again, (this time without your OPINION of what "all these things" means, because
your opinion is wrong), please answer my question with a YES or NO answer.
Question: Do Jesus' words "this generation" in Luke 21:32 refer to a single (one)
generation? YES or NO
Thank you
