This generation will not pass away

[Classik]

First, what's a generation? Simply a period of about 30 to 40 years. (or a particular culture or set)

"Truly I say to you this generation will not pass away until all these things take place"

compare:
(Matthew 24:32, Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32)

What generation was Christ really talking about, and what 'all these things'?


If the quote is really talking about the Second Coming, and a generation is a period of about 30-40 years...... (one might say: He already came and was gone without their notice. Sounds strange)

what actually is the meaning of the quote??? :What generation was Christ really talking about, and what 'all these things'?
Thanks all

The generation of whom He was speaking is...the last generation. The disciples asked...."Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"


He then tells us what to look for leading to the last day..what to expect during the great tribulation and then He told us...."But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

That is one of the phrases telling us there is no pre-trib rapture. We will all be here and...we must endure the deception for that is what the great tribulation is all about.

It is the last generation He was speaking of.
