The end of the age Jesus was speaking of was the age of the Jews under the old covenant. That age ended around 70 AD. No more temple, no more sacrifice, no more old covenant.
That’s absolutely not what that verse says. You left part of it out: 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that *_one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day_* This essentially means that God is in a realm outside of time.
@@deanfry879 70 Ad seems to have the components that Jesus spoke of in His discourse just prior to His crucifixion. Whether literal or not, Nero's name adds up to 666. He also oppressed the Jews in and around Jerusalem for 42 months. More than a million Jews were slaughtered and many thrown into Gehenna to have their corpses burned and eaten by worms. Plus this happened within 40 years of Jesus being alive. I think one significant thing that would suggest that this would not be happening again, is that almost all of those things related directly to the Jews and not Gentiles. In our world today the followers of Jesus Christ are made up primarily of non Jewish people. Also there is no temple in Jerusalem and no temple in heaven, which was referred to in the Revelation. We, the ekklesia, body of Christ, are now the temple of God.
@@bradharford6052The Natural people of Israel was 70 AD only put aside - for a Long Time. But When the Lord Jesus Christ will Return on the Mount of Oliver the still living Rest of Israel will accept him - After the 7 years tribulation.
The fig tree is a symbol of Israel in the Bible. It put forth its young leaves on May 14, 1948. The other things Jesus mentioned in this "generation" discourse, have been escalating faster and faster since Israel became a nation again (1948) I interpret this to to mean the generation that sees Israel back on it's land will not pass away until all these things are fulfilled. Observing what our world is going through in this present time it's not much of a stretch to deduce the time of the rapture, and His return is near. I'm not dogmatic about this interpretation, it is just how I see it. All I know for sure is Jesus IS coming. And I can hardly wait to be with Him forever. MARANATHA !!!
This is the Amir Tsarfati interpretation which I think for the most part is feasible, however, I would not be dogmatic given that this means a generation being 70-80 years of life would put the Rapture at about 4 years from now. When does the timeline for a generation actually begin? At 1948? or those born after 1948? Or once the prophetic signs begin to unfold? I think perhaps the latter, though I wouldn't be dogmatic on this either. That being said, definitely many of the prophetic signs that Christ mentioned in the Olivet Discourse have already begun to take shape, so it's clear we are in the season. But, of course, no man (Christ included) knows the day or the hour.
Jesus was a liar, false prophet, and will not be returning.. Mark 1:15 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. ("Has come", means NOW in the 1st century, not "eventually" or "is to come" thousands of years later.

You are correct. none enters heaven till all has been fufilled. Revelation 15:8 “And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.” Amen.
I understood that the generational clock started ticking when Israel became a nation. A generation can be interpreted in more than one way. I believe it refers to the Bible saying a man's life is 70 years, and 80 by strength. My mother were born the year before Israel became a nation. My dad the same year when Israel became a nation. Both still doing well, but we closing in on the 80 years. 🎉
I agree that the generational clock started ticking in 1948 (when Israel came back as a nation). The bible does not specify the lifespan of a generation. But I believe it is safe to assume that whoever was born in 1948 will still be alive when the end time comes (the tribulation that will last for 7 years after the antichrist signs a peace treaty with Israel). By observing what is going on around the world, I believe the age of the Gentile is about to end; meaning God will start to focus on bringing His chosen people, Israel, back to Him. Likely the ongoing war has something to do with this God's plan? I also believe in 7000 years of human history, and we are approaching 6000 years. Human history will conclude with 1000 years of Christ's Millennial Kingdom. Just as God rested on the 7th day of the creation, humans will live with genuine peace, rest, and prosperity under the rule of Jesus Christ, Our King and the only Savior. Only God knows when. I believe the next major prophetic event will be the rapture of the church and follow closely by the introduction of the antichrist on the world stage. We are truly living in an exciting times. So hang on tightly with our Savior, Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters.
I think in context, Jesus was speaking of His generation and the things He mentioned did happen and culminated around AD 70. Also note that in the Revelation account, which is figurative, not literal, the tribulation, beast, etc. took place when there was a temple in Jerusalem AND a temple in heaven. There is no longer a temple in Jerusalem and there is no longer a temple in heaven. We are the temple of the living God. Everything changed at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the picture in the last chapters of the Revelation, notice that there is no temple in the city where God dwells. In my opinion this new heaven and new earth became a reality at the resurrection of Christ. All things were made new, old things have passed away. 2 Cor 5.
Exactly. The cult of Dispensationalism needs to go away and quit distracting the Church with it’s gerrymandering scripture to make a Terminator/Planet of the Apes Apocalypse future scenario. This is my Father’s world. Christ reigns now and sits on God’s right hand and he is guiding His Church to victory.
That first century chosen generation (whom Peter was writing to) of Israel, rejected it. They rejected all of it. They rejected their Messiah and their kingdom. So, it didn't come. Their 70th week never came because they fell in unbelief and diminished (Romans 11:11-12) and salvation (was of the Jews) has come to the Gentiles. Paul was given a Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles (Ephesians 3:1-2), which is what happened instead of Israel's 70th week. Today, during this Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles, Israel is still blinded as to who their Messiah is. But we see in Revelation 7, that they will begin their 80th week and they will rise and shine as a light unto the Gentiles during a time of darkness (Israel's 70th week, Tribulation, Jacob's trouble). Isaiah 60:1-3. And the Great Multitude is the result of the 144,000 Jews preaching Israel's Gospel of the Kingdom in all the world before the end (2nd half of Israel's 70th week) comes. Matthew 24:14
Yup. And Paul's Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles explains why none of it came to pass, but it will come to pass for another Chosen Generation of Israel. (from 1 Peter 2:9)
Joel 3:1-3 nails it! In that day and at that time when I have restored the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations to the valley of Jehoshaphat and judge them for the way they treated my people Israel and divided my land. My paraphrase.

That verse also shows that The Church cannot be the replacement of Israel. The historical fake Establishment Church has been more of the oppressor and murderer of the Jews.

I've heard people make the case that Jesus did, indeed, return. And that we are currently in the "little season", and it has been hidden from us. I am a fairly new convert to Christianity (summer of 2020). Is this what you are referring to in your comment? If so, could you elaborate. If I have misunderstood your meaning, could you also elaborate. Thank you. \
I think it is clear from the entire context of these chapters that Jesus was answering questions that were just asked of Him. There is evidence that the things Jesus spoke about the desecration of the temple, rise of antichrist, tribulation, destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, and the end of the age, all occurred and culminated around 70 AD. That was the end of the Jewish age, the age of Judaism and old covenant. So, it seems clear that Jesus was speaking to people, many of whom would be alive to see and experience the things He spoke. Also note that Jesus was not speaking to the world in general, but to Jews in particular. The things He spoke pertained to the nation of Israel and their current system of covenant and worship of God that was soon coming to an end and in fact did come to an end in AD 70.
Not so How come so many seem to know the word Yet cannot recognize a PROPHECY when one is given There are MANY prophecies in the NT Not of the current time, the words were spoken But the time coming - which NOW IS The END of the beginning and the beginning to the End
I get a lot of great truth from Got Questions but they are totally wrong in this video, trying to make the bible fit their belief instead of seeing it for what it's saying. You are absolutely right with what you say in your comment. Jesus was talking about that generation and it did pass away when all those things took place in 70AD and the fall of Jerusalem. He says "this generation". It doesn't get any clearer then that. Why do people try and twist His words to suit their own narrative.
I appreciate you mentioning the destruction of Jerusalem as a possible explanation. I have some friends who believe the end times was only in reference to that event. It’s a difficult concept to grapple with but I’m learning more and more about all the perspectives on this.
But, if one looks up in a concordance the expression "this generation", 100% of them refer to the generation actually alive at the time. Grammatically speaking, why would Mat 24 mean a future one, thus confusing readers of bible prophecies?
because they're taking it out of context to suit their own narrative. I love GotQuestions, but this wasn't it.

This generation Dispensationalist play games with this phrase Matthew 24:34 Greek ‘ganea’ A particular period of time ‘This’ near demonstrative Not “that” Jesus is not linguistically challenged
When Jesus said "This generation", He was reffering to the generation that will witness the things He prophesied about, not the generation during His time on earth. Its like saying "There will be people that will witness this event. These people will not die before seeing it."
Remember the poor FigTree that Jesus cursed? The Fig Tree represents The Nation of Israel, which Jesus also cursed and it died and was dead for 2000 years, but Israel was resurrected 75 years ago on May 14 , 1948 . Jesus tells us that when we see these things BEGIN to happen , “look up for your redemption is drawing near “. Heaven and Earth will pass away but my words will never pass away
Jesus said the Kingdom had drawn near for the lost sheep of Israel only! Matthew 10:5 These 12 Jesus sent out, giving them these instructions: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter any Sa·marʹi·tan city;6 but instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ Matthew 4:17 From that time on, Jesus began preaching and saying: “Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near: This message of a new world government was the theme of Jesus’ preaching. (Mt 10:7; Mr 1:15) John the Baptist started to proclaim a similar message about six months prior to Jesus’ baptism (Mt 3:1, 2); yet Jesus could say with added meaning that the Kingdom had “drawn near,” since he was now present as the anointed King-Designate. There is no record that after Jesus’ death his disciples continued to proclaim that the Kingdom had “drawn near” or was at hand.
The Genaration of 70 AD! The Gospels was written after Jerusalem was destroyed. The Apostles were writing letters to the congregations before the Gospels was written. Because after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. The Jewish practice of animal sacrifices ended when the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem. With the temple gone, there is no longer a place for the sacrifices to be offered according to the Mosaic Law. Did they make the Gospels up because they had no temple no more. No they didn't. The Gospels are proof of Jesus the Lamb of YHVH Yehovah Jehovah God! The need for animal sacrifices no longer existed, for Christ had fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law (Matthew 5:17). Animal sacrifices were merely a type of the perfect Sacrifice-the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). The sacrifice of Christ paid the debt of sin for all mankind, both Jew and Gentile (Romans 1:16; Hebrews 9:12-15). John was an eyewitness to Jesus and the destruction of Jerusalem and he received Revelation for the congregations of Christ! The First of John 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have observed and our hands have felt, concerning the word of life, 2 (yes, the life was made manifest, and we have seen and are bearing witness and reporting to you the everlasting life that was with the Father and was made manifest to us), 3 that which we have seen and heard we are reporting also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.
The Bright Morning Star! Revelation 5:5 Isaiah 19:19 Why is 70 AD important. Why not reset our calendar at Jesus birth. Do you know when the Gentile Times Ended. How did the Magi know Jesus was born as King. But the Roman Empire of King Herod and the Jews did not. They were following the Trinity of Sun, Moon, and Star Worship. Look at the Sumerian solar system picture. Jesus is the true light ,The Bright Morning Star! The same star a person puts over a Christmas Tree! Our calendar was reset and counted backwards to have Jerusalem destroyed in 70AD. Jesus shows up at 12 and 30 years old. Why did the Jews think Jesus was almost 50. There is a difference of 20 years. So when did the Gentile Times End. Using bible chronology for 1914 or according to history 1934.
My heart, spirit and mind tells me we are so close to the Rapture that I try to always remind people to Repent, TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. Rejecting God, his Son and the word of God does not mean you pick the consequences of it. Simply surrender and get saved. You will be forever grateful, you did.
The Rapture is not really Biblical. It is never specifically mentioned in scripture. It was an idea created and propogated by a man who was a theologian in the 1800s. The written scripture only states that Jesus will return to raise everyone up like He was risen. "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” -John 6:39-40

Unless Jesus meant the end of the Jewish age. Then everything he talked about anti-christ--Nero desolation of the Holy Place--Roman soldiers seizing control of the Temple and It's destruction, etc. has happened If Jesus meant a future generation He would said that. He wouldn't lead people to a wrong thought
In Luke version, it cannot be future. It specifically says they ( Jews) will be lead into captivity. So when Jesus returns in future the Jews are lead into captivity? NO. He is speaking of 70 A.D. and that’s exactly what happened.
The generation in which these thing shall come to pass. Meaning those who are living at the time the prophecies are fulfilled. Don’t think we’re quite there yet.
To add to that - the Hebrew language has a tense not present in English - it was called the "prophetic" tense. It is used by prophets often and indicated by conjugations in the verbs, etc. The passage in question was written in the prophetic tense confirming that the events that are translated as present in English are in prophetic tense originally - which is a way of talking about the future as if it were the present.
@@sage4293 Matthew was originally written in Hebrew or Aramaic - but later translated to Greek. We don't have extents of the original language so you may be correct. I'll have to see if prophetic tense translates into Greek
I respectfully disagree with your entire explanation. Jesus was speaking directly to his present audience as they were the “this generation”. This is further shown by reading Matt. 16:27-28 where Jesus tells those disciples present with him that “they would not taste death before they would see the Son of Man returning to set up his kingdom”. What happened ??? The only explanation is that God the Father decided to interrupt the Kingdom Gospel with the gospel of the Grace of God. This dispensation of Grace is now forming The Church, the body of Christ and has gone on now, for nearly 2000 years. This is all explained in the opening chapters of Ephesians, and especially Ephesians, chapter 3. After the rapture occurs, the focus will then resume to the prophetic program with Israel, picking up right where Jesus was warning Israel about all the events described in Matt. Chapter 24.
He's talking about the generation from 30ad to 70ad. That 40yrs was the early church establishing the kingdom of God in the Earth. And at the end in 70ad Jesus came back the 2nd time to take his people to heaven so that the kingdom of God would be in both places.
Jesus meant exactly what He said. The generation He was speaking to would see the things He was describing come to pass. And they did. Wars, rumours of wars, tribulations, diseases occur on earth all the time - history shows that there has never been a time when they did not occur.
The rebirth of Israel, the Fig Tree that Jesus cursed is the main sign of Jesus return. Israel was dead for 2000 years , but was resurrected 75 years ago . Behold The Fig Tree . Remember the poor Fig Tree that Jesus cursed the day before He went to the cross?
The United Nations , The 8th Kingdom is reborn with the Nation of Israel. The 6th Kingdom the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem by Nero who is 666 or 616. It was the disgusting thing that causes desolation in 70 AD and 2030 AD For it is a man's number the year 2030, It's when man sets up a one world government, one world religion and one world economy. It's called Agenda 21. Revelation 13:18 This is where it calls for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number,* and its number is 666. Revelation 13 The first beast John sees coming out of the sea is the 8th King. That starts the conclusion in 2030 and rules for 42 months The second beast John sees is the 7th king. The beast with two horns is the duel world power. The Great War started in 1914. The beginning of the last days. The generation of the last days would be like the days of Noah 120 years.
2300 years would be the appointed time! Daniel 8:13 And I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one speaking: “How long will the vision of the constant feature and of the transgression causing desolation continue, to make both the holy place and the army things to trample on?” 14 So he said to me: “Until 2,300 evenings and mornings; and the holy place will certainly be restored to its right condition.” 19 Then he said: “Here I am causing you to know what will happen in the final part of the denunciation, because it is for the appointed time of the end. Matthew 24:15 the disgusting thing that causes desolation: Daniel foretold that “disgusting thing(s)” would be associated with desolation. (Da 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) Jesus here indicates that “the disgusting thing that causes desolation” had not yet appeared; it was to come in the future. And 33 years after Jesus’ death, Christians witnessed the initial fulfillment of this prophecy when they did catch sight of a disgusting thing standing in a holy place. The parallel account at Lu 21:20 reads: “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.” In 66 C.E., pagan Roman armies surrounded “the holy city,” Jerusalem, a place that the Jews viewed as holy and that was the center of the Jewish revolt against Rome. (Mt 4:5; 27:53) Discerning Christians, who recognized that the Roman army with its idolatrous banners was “the disgusting thing,” took it as the final signal to “begin fleeing to the mountains.” (Mt 24:15, 16; Lu 19:43, 44; 21:20-22) After the Christians fled, the Romans desolated both the city and the nation. Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70 AD., and the last Jewish stronghold, Masada, fell to the Romans in 73 AD. (Compare Da 9:25-27.) The detailed initial fulfillment of this prophecy provides a solid basis for trusting that the greater fulfillment will also take place, culminating with Jesus’ “coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Mt 24:30) Many ignore Jesus’ statement that Daniel’s prophecy would be fulfilled after Jesus’ day.
Christendom believes the 2300 evenings and mornings ended in 1844. It was called the Great Disappointment. But not by the Catholic Church. This was the works of the Holy ones the Faithful Slaves. Matthew 24:45-47. So when you add the 70 year generation for the disgusting thing to appear, you arrive at 1914. The last days 120 years is 2034. The Gentile Times ending in 1934. Abraham offspring is a 100 year generation is 2034. Ishmael born to Abraham at 86 years old was not the fulfillment of the prophecy. The Nation of Israel created by the United Nations in 1948 will their peace last for 86 years or less. Will be 2034 also. 1948+86=2034 1934+100=2034 1914+120=2034
The Bright Morning Star! Revelation 5:5 Isaiah 19:19 Why is 70 AD important. Why not reset our calendar at Jesus birth. Do you know when the Gentile Times Ended. How did the Magi know Jesus was born as King. But the Roman Empire of King Herod and the Jews did not. They were following the Trinity of Sun, Moon, and Star Worship. Look at the Sumerian solar system picture. Jesus is the true light ,The Bright Morning Star! The same star a person puts over a Christmas Tree! Our calendar was reset and counted backwards to have Jerusalem destroyed in 70AD. Jesus shows up at 12 and 30 years old. Why did the Jews think Jesus was almost 50. There is a difference of 20 years. So when did the Gentile Times End. Using bible chronology for 1914 or according to history 1934.

They all died) Matthew 16:28 28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” (Didn't happen. All standing there died. Jesus lied.) People who want to believe only true things, don't believe books that lack credibility. 🖖
Mike Winger has a good video pointing out that the earthquakes are not a sign of the end, but the earthquakes are what will happen before the signs of the end begin.
Why does everyone twist Jesus's words? Especially when HE said "Truly Truly" THIS generation will not pass until ALL be fulfilled. Was the desolation of the temple accomplished in "that" generation? Yes, yes it was and Jesus only spoke TRUTH. The abomination of desolation took place in 70AD. End of story. If you need proof of the celestial signs that you spoke of, please look into the writings of Josephus (a non binary witness) who gave an eye witness account of everything that took place during that great and dreadful tribulation. It is out of ignorance that we believed all the "dispensational lies" that these are future events.. The end is also referred to the end of the age, or the end of the old covenant.. Modern-day Israel is nothing more than a political entity that STILL denies Yeshua as their Messiah. Yet, we are labeled as antisemitic if we call truth truth. Stand with antichrist? Nope, not me. Who is antichrist except for those who deny that Jesus is the Christ?
Many evangelical Christians misinterpret this to mean within 80 years (a generation due to strength) from the establishment of modern day Israel in 1948, the second coming of Christ will occur, i.e. Jesus will return no later than 2028. They point out the fact the fig tree in Matthew 24 refers to Israel, however Luke 22 also refers to the fig tree and ALL the trees (other nations). Dr. Andy Woods and several Bible prophecy teachers believe that the people (i.e. this generation without referring to the length of a generation) who will witness the Antichrist entering the rebuilt Third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and defiles it will be the people who will also see Christ’s return to Earth 3.5 years later.
We don't know what He meant by it. He could have meant that current generation of people he was referring to or he could have been referring to the generation that comes after Israel is brought back from the sword. A generation is approx 20-30 years. Some say 50 years. Either way, a generation has passed on both accounts so we really don't know.
Christ used the word "generation" 23 times apart from the Olivet prophecy. Look them up in a concordance. You'll see that every one of them pertains to the generation He was talking to in His day. Quotes like "first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation", "an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah", "the men of Nineveh will rise in the judgement with this generation", "the queen of the south will rise in the judgement with this generation", "o faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?", "all the righteous blood shed on the earth.... will come upon this generation" etc etc. Yes, He also mentions His return as a concluding event, but the bulk of the Olivet prophecy is about AD70, and it is to this event that "all these things" pertain.
Thank you for pointing this out, @ronmey7500 . What you just did here is what many "theologians" and "Biblical Scholars" fail to do...compare scripture with scripture.
How about Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher in the vein of John the Baptist and was shocked when he was put to death on the cross shouting my god my god why have you forsaken me generation just as easily meant his followers in his time he also promised the apostles all 12 even Judas 12 thrones so it’s pretty clear he believed he would rule above the 12 on earth
The generation is the one jesus was talking to. Its not that difficult. Jesus would have his invisible presence immediately when he returned to heaven. Also known as the kingdom for the thosand years.
This Generation is NOT talking about any specific Generation, including the LAST Generation. The Key to understand this is. SHALL NOT PASS. Mt24:34 This Generation SHALL NOT PASS is NOT talking about literal death. Its talking about the SECOND DEATH. Lake of fire, Judgment Day. Rev20:14. To prove this turn to Mt12:41-42 The men of Ninevah, the Queen of the south (O.T. believers) shall rise (Resurrect) in THE JUDGMENT with THIS GENERATION. Have the O.T. believers been resurrected? Has THE judgment day happened? NOT YET! To God be the Glory.
@@markhauserbible7168 Yep, according to you. And false teaching are punishable beyond your wildest nightmares. Elvis said exactly what He meant and meant exactly what He said.
This generation meant that one. Fulfilled in 70 A.D.. Don't confuse the End of Days with the End of Judah, The Temple. and the End of Jerusalem, which happened in 70 A.D.
All those events did take place within that generation. Heaven and earth ( Old Covenant Israel ) did pass away and we are now in the eternal New Covenant.
That is an interesting interpretation. What is also interesting is in Revelation, which was in part an epistle and written to literal churches in existence at the time of the writing, starts off in the beginning of chapter 1 as saying “to show his servants the things which must soon take place”. I’m bringing that up because any reader at the time would think “soon” means “soon” not “a day with the Lord is as a thousand years” or whatever allegorical meaning it could have. It would seem that both many parts of Revelation along with the prophecy in Matt 24 were literally taking place within the generation after Jesus or the generation around Jesus’s time. You really have to lay another framework on all those verses to get them to mean sometime out in the future (like thousands of years as many teach).
I've heard people say "a generation in the Bible is less that 60 years". I think that He was referring to the modern generational life span, not the shorter life span of His time.
"These things obviously didn't happen during the lifespan of the people alive at that time." You sure? Couldn't it simply be a reference to the destruction of the temple in 70 AD? Is that possibility excluded in order to make Jesus' prophecy fit with some modern interpretation favoring Israel or the Rapture or something?
Colossians 1:23 (ESV) 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister Apostle Paul said that preaching work has been done in his time and that's what Jesus was saying that even those who stab him will see him return in the clouds. Jesus return occured before 100 A.D.
This is a perfect example of begging the question. His conclusion that "this generation" does not refer to the present generation but a future one is predicated on his conclusion that the things in Matthew 24 did not take place. His conclusion has effected his interpretation of the text. Aka eisegesis. "Did not happen in the lifespan of people alive in Jesus Day. Obviously." Based on his eschatology, he then interprets "this generation" as that future generation. A more honest way to handle this text is: A)get your eschatology right and realize "this generation" meat exactly that. B) the way people like C.S. Lewis did. Understand and acknowledge that the people who heard him say that, fully expected it to happen in their lifetime. EVEN THOUGH you personally do not believe the events in Matthew 24 have occurred yet.
Correct.💯 ''THIS'' generation obviously refers to the generation of Jews living during Daniel's 70th week. When do the young shoots of the fig tree begin to tender and when does it start to put out its leaves? Of course when the terrible events of Matthew 24 begin to happen (false christs, wars, famines, earthquakes, THE abomination of desolation being set up and the 2nd coming of Christ). When you see ''ALL THESE THINGS'', know for certain that He is near. WHAT things? Of course the terrible events of Matthew 24 (false christs, wars, famines, earthquakes, THE abomination of desolation being set up and the 2nd coming of Christ). Sadly too many date-setters equate this parable with 1948. The Parable of the Fig Tree has of course nothing to do with the events surrounding 1948. Jesus wasn't talking about any event of the Church-age.
@@mattrhoden2401 You think the Abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet was set up in AD 70??? (Matthew 24:15). The Antichrist (2 Thess 2:4), “the prince who is to come” who will make a 7-year covenant with Israel, then break it in the middle of the tribulation has appeared in AD 70??? You think the 7 seal, 7 trumpet and 7 bowl judgements happened in AD 70??? You think the second coming of Christ happened in AD 70??? This view is known as "preterism". However, this is a serious exegetical error that forces the interpreter to read spiritualized, allegorical meanings into this passage that do not lend themselves to sound exegetical methods. The grammatical-historical method of hermeneutics must also be followed in these passages, and this leads to a consistently futuristic interpretation of the crucial prophecies. Only Matthew 24:1-2 was fulfilled in AD 70. However, Matthew 24:4-31 is obviously about Daniel's 70th week (Daniel 9:27).
Matthew 24 contains the phrase "but the end is not yet". Everything said before has been what history has been, and some of it bad enough to wonder if the end is coming, but they were not signs of the end. They were mentioned by Jesus so we would know the difference when the things after that phrase began to happen.
@@Samuelh777 1 John 2:18 doesn’t say *_ The antichrist_* (singular), it says *_antichrist,_* implying plurality: Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that *_antichrist shall come,_* even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Jesus also said that there were people alive at the time that would not see death. The belief that the messiah was returning to be a king that drive out the Romans was not uncommon. John the Baptist was one. More importantly the early Christians believed it and were told things like don't get pregnant because the end times will be filled with suffering . Paul also believed that the end was at hand. How could Jesus, the perfect communicator, say something so universally misunderstood . He mush have known how people would have taken the idea of this generation being the one he was talking to.
Jesus brings us comfort. Jesus brings us joy and hope, knowing that He removed all of our sins at Calvary. If you need some teaching on the matter, the you tube channel, 'faith cometh by hearing' has a fine teaching series titled, 'change of mind' which helped me understand the matter.
Nowhere in the Tanakh is it stated that forgiveness can be found only through blood sacrifice, and especially not human blood sacrifice. In the book of Jonah, the people of Nineveh had sinned and bible god was going to punish them. When Jonah showed them the error of their ways, they fasted and prayed, and were forgiven. The same thing happened in the book of Esther. Living in Persia between the first and second Temples, they fasted, regretted their sins and were forgiven. These historical examples clearly show that when there is no Temple, sincere repentance is all that is needed according to Jewish scriptures. Did David need Jesus or did he just repent to receive forgiveness? Did Samson need Jesus or did he just repent to receive forgiveness? How about Daniel? Did he sacrifice lots of virgins when requesting forgiveness for all his people, or did he just do some serious repenting? Read your bible more. The Pauline Greco-Roman Christianity u believe was not the Judaism Jesus was raised to believe as a Torah following jew. (Matthew 5:17-20) Human sacrifice is an abomination according to the laws of Moses in which Jesus supported 100%. Jews never believed the messiah was supposed to be killed. Jesus's cult followers created the 'died for sins' belief to justify his death, because the alternative was admitting he wasn't the Messiah. By claiming bible god impregnated a BETROTHED female, u not only are claiming bible god is a hypocrite for violating his own mosaic laws, but u are also calling him an adulterer. Most Christians do not seriously read nor study properly the Hebrew scriptures which are what Jesus supported.
In Luke 8:3, Jesus proved himself a hypocrite by taking money for his ministry from rich women after he told his followers they didn't need to worry about their needs as god would feed them like he feeds the birds (Matthew 6:25). He also demonized rich people various times to his followers while acting like a two-faced politician and getting bank rolled by them, which certainly is hypocrisy. (Matthew 19:23-26) Why didn't Jesus just bust out some magical loaves and fishes to sell if he needed money? (Matthew 14:19) Because the story of the loaves and fishes is mythology and jesus needed money like everyone else. 🖖
More evidence Jesus was a liar, false prophet, and will not be returning.. Mark 1:15 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. ("Has come", means NOW in the 1st century, not "eventually" or "is to come" thousands of years later. This is referencing claims that things would occur in the 1st century ONLY. ) Hebrews 1:2 "In these last days" (Someone doesn't refer to "these last days" when they don't specifically believe something isn't going to happen within the 1st century) Revelation 3:11 "I am coming soon" (A belief referencing the 1st century only) Mark 9:1 "9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” (All who were standing there tasted death. It was a lie) 2 Corinthians 6:2 "I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation." ("NOW" is not language someone uses when they think something isn't going to occur immediately. Paul lied) Mark 14:61-62 "Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” 62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” (Jesus lied to the high priest. The high priest died without seeing anything Jesus falsely claimed. Jesus simply lied) Luke 9:27 "27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.” (It was a lie. They all died) Luke 21:32 32 “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." (All of the generation that supposedly heard that claim passed away without any of the false claims happening. Jesus lied) James 5:8 "The lord's coming is near" (More failed claims meant to convince people in the 1st century ONLY. Again, "NEAR" isn't language people use unless they think something is going to occur in their time. James lied and made false claims.) Matthew 24:34 "34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." (A lie. They all died) Matthew 16:28 28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” (Didn't happen. All standing there died. Jesus lied.) People who want to believe only true things, don't believe books that lack credibility. 🖖
Come mesiah. When he comes all earth will bow to him and all will know god. There will be no wars (othed than countries going against Israel and getting cut downl) or hatred.
Respectfully, I disagree, Jesus was talking to that generation and not a future generation. Right throughout Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the word generation doesn't change. And the judgement language used in the latter verses is taken from Isaiah 13. He did come in judgement in that generation.
The context of Matt 24 begins in Matt 23. Through chapter 23, Jesus is excoriating the Sanhedrin for their poor leadership, not keeping the covenant and for keeping the children of God from worshiping him. Jesus then predicts the destruction of the Temple. Later, when on the Mount of Olives, the Disciples ask Christ in privacy "when will these things be." Christ's answer is that these events will take place during their generation. Furthermore, the "celestial signs" of Matt 24 is an OT imagery that always denoted the destruction of a specific enemy of God. Putting that back in context of Matt 23 and Matt 24, it becomes clear that Jesus is talking about the destruction of the Sanhedrin and the Temple age, and thus bringing about the full commencement of the Church Age. That truth becomes all the more evident when you put Christ's prophetic words into the smaller context of Jesus answering a specific question to his Disciples in privacy that the only sensible answer is that Christ is telling THEM what signs THEY need to be on the watch for so THEY can take appropriate action. Further cementing the veracity with which the Disciples took this prophecy to mean the specific events of 70 AD is that that era's historians noted that no Christians remained in Jerusalem when the Roman armies destroyed the city. Clearly, the Disciples shared the prophecy and God's people heeded the words to the point of being out of the city before it was destroyed.
The video is not complete. Many calculate from 1948 the formation of the nation of Israel and add the generation of 40 or 70 years around that. That mean 2018 and if 80 years 2028 the second coming. Another interpretation is “this nation will not pass away” changing generation for nation. Generation mean people or a time frame. Question how long is a generation in the bible? Should we start counting from 1948?😅
He was referring to the Jewish people returning to their homeland. It is amazing that this is not mentioned in this video. 120 year life spans (the limit God gave man in the Old Testament). 2048 (when the Jews returned to Israel) - 2068. Edit: In a letter to a close friend, Isaac Newton predicted Jesus's return would happen around 2060 - 2062 after studying the Bible carefully himself.
People need hope not condemnation in these times . Our gods property is mercy . Especially children give up on religion because they get scared of God. While this is good you should know he loves you like a protective parent.
0:50 "Jesus meant something different...."....................HA! Let's find some BS and try to make it stick.....................................fools don't know any better, anyhow.
I took it to mean exactly what he said. The generation of Jews that he dealt with during his earthly ministry are still there today insofar as their blind eyes, deaf ears, and hard hearts relative to who Jesus is. And they will remain there until they reach a point in the future when the Antichrist will have them in such a state that they will realize that the Messiah, which they collectively believe exists, is their only hope for survival. They will cry out to God as a people and the Messiah will come to their aid. It will just happen to be the prophet from Nazareth who they rejected and crucified 2000 years ago.
I more lean towards the dual fulfillment side of things. As far as I can tell, all of Jesus’ prophecy was fulfilled by AD 70, including the celestial signs, as we can see Jewish historians recorded “Bad omens” shortly before, including the sun darkening, and comets in the sky.
1 Corinthians 15:22-28 - The Resurrection 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:42-58 - King James Version 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. John 6:53-63 - New International Version 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
HE WAS TALKING TO 5HE DICIPLES IN MATT34. IN 29 HE SAID BEHOLD I HAVE TOLD YOU IN ADVANCE( ALL THE STATEMENTS UP TO 29. FROM 1 TO 29 IS ABOUT THEIR GENERATION
Where we miss it: We think verse 3 of Matthew 24 is one big question to which Jesus gives one big answer. If we do get that verse 3 is actually three questions that get answered one by one, then we expect the answers to come in the same order. Dr. Michael Brown's explanation, the best I could piece it together through recall: Matthew 24:3 is three questions, that get answered by Jesus in reverse order, chiastic style. When will this happen? (every stone of the Temple thrown down, as commented in 24:1-2) What will be the sign of your coming? What will be the sign of the end of the age? 24:4-24:22 Jesus answers what the sign/s will be of the end of the age. Signs are given rather than times. 24:23-24:33 What things they will see (signs) when the Son of Man comes. In the question they asked Jesus the sign of his coming, so when Jesus answers about the Son of Man's coming, he is answering about himself. This is one way we know that when Jesus said "the Son of Man" he was referring to himself. 24:34-24:35 Jesus answers about the timing. Here he is answering the first question - the "when" question, which was about when will the stones of the Temple be thrown down. Three Q's and 3 A's. (3 questions and 3 answers) Q1-Q2-Q3-A3-A2-A1.
Yes, 3 questions 3 answers . Remember the Fig Tree that Jesus cursed and it shriveled up ? That Fig Tree represents The Nation of Israel.and it’s destruction in 70 AD . Jesus tells us that when we see “ The Fig Tree “ getting leaves again we are to know his return is near . Israel was dead for nearly 2000 years , but 3 years after the Holocaust Israel was resurrected from the dead, May 14 , 1948 . And exactly 70 years later Jerusalem became the capital, May 14, 2018 . The Bible tells us that in the Last Days Israel will be the epicenter of world attention and tension, and she is. This is a real miracle considering that she was dead for 2000 years ! Yes , , The King is coming !
Well, you do have a few things wrong. "This Generation" means exactly that, the generation Jesus was talking to. Back up a few chapters and Jesus said there would be those with him alive when they see these things. Are they still alive to see a future event thousands of years in the future? You did get right about the dual fulfillment. Unless the bible says there is a dual fulfillment, then saying there is one when nothing is mentioned of a dual fulfillment makes it arbitrary. That "future time" you are talking about, is the 3 1/2 years from 66 AD to 70 AD. So, those with Jesus were alive when the judgment on the nation of Israel happened. If you read the passages in context you will see this is a localized event, not a whole world event. Also, this "will happen quickly when it starts" is not in the Bible, if it was you would have gave the passage. In Rev 1 these things will "soon" take place (since Revelations was written in 65AD), "soon" means that "soon" which was in 66AD to 70AD. Those celestial signs are not literal, they are old Testament apocalyptic imagery. So yes they did all happen in 70AD. Chapters 1 through 19 of Revelations have all been fulfilled. The judgement of the nation of Israel by the sign of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, ending the old covenant era and the start of the new covenant. We are in the millennial time period of Chapter 20. What you are teaching is the eschatology of dispensationalism, aka "futurism". If you do your research, you will find its roots in Zionism.
I watched to learn how people these days try to explain “generation” and found no alternative to the normal and natural meaning of a time of growing up and having children, about 40 years. It doesn’t mean race or kind of people, it means a lifetime of a group of people living at the same time. The generation of the fall of the second temple is the same generation of the Second Coming and the fall of the celestial bodies. What the guy needs to do, that he doesn’t even try to do is to explain the nature of the events listed. They are the judgement of the end of the Second Temple and the people of God and that system of creation, that “heaven and earth” that passed away in 70 CE. We are not living in that old creation anymore. We are living in the new heavens and the new earth, with no more sea, no sun and moon, our light is the Lamb.
In Psalm 110:1, David says, “The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool’” (ESV). In Matthew 22:44, Jesus quotes this verse in a discussion with the Pharisees in order to prove that the Messiah is more than David’s son; He is David’s Lord. The clause the LORD says to my Lord contains two different Hebrew words for “lord” in the original. The first word is Yahweh, the Hebrew covenant name for God. The second is adoni, meaning “lord” or “master.” So, in Psalm 110:1, David writes this: “Yahweh says to my Adoni. . . .” To better understand Jesus’ use of Psalm 110:1, we’ll look at the identity of each “Lord” separately. The first “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the eternal God of the universe, the Great I AM who revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3. This self-existent, omnipotent God speaks in Psalm 110 to someone else who is also David’s “Lord.” The second “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the Messiah, or the Christ. Psalm 110 describes this second “Lord” as follows: ● He sits at God’s right hand (verse 1) ● He will triumph over all His enemies and rule over them (verses 1-2) ● He will lead a glorious procession of troops (verse 3) ● He will be “a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek” (verse 4) ● He will have divine power to crush kings, judge nations, and slay the wicked (verses 5-6) ● He will find refreshment and be exalted (verse 7) In Matthew 22:44, Jesus unmistakably identifies the second “Lord” of Psalm 110:1 as the Messiah, and the Pharisees all agree that, yes, David was speaking of the Messiah. When David wrote, “The LORD says to my Lord,” he distinctly said that the Messiah (or the Christ) was his lord and master-his Adoni. A common title for the Messiah in Jesus’ day was “Son of David,” based on the fact that the Messiah would be the descendant of David who would inherit the throne and fulfill the Davidic Covenant (see 2 Samuel 7). Jesus capitalizes on the Jewish use of the title “Son of David” to drive home His point in Matthew 22. “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, ‘What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?’ ‘The son of David,’ they replied. He said to them, ‘How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him “Lord”? For he says, “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’” If then David calls him “Lord,” how can he be his son?’” (Matthew 22:41-45). Jesus’ reasoning is this: “Son of David” is your title for the Messiah, yet David himself calls Him “Lord.” The Messiah, then, must be much more than just a son-a physical descendant-of David. According to Psalm 110:1, this “Son of David” was alive during David’s time and was greater than David. All of this information is contained in the statement that “the LORD says to my Lord.” Jesus is David’s Lord; He is the Christ, the Jewish Messiah, and Psalm 110 is a promise of Jesus’ victory at His second coming. Another important point that Jesus makes in Matthew 22 is that David wrote the psalm under the guidance of the Holy Spirit; David was “speaking by the Spirit,” Jesus says (verse 43). Clearly, Jesus taught the inspiration of Scripture. When David wrote, “The LORD says to my Lord,” he was recording exactly what God wanted him to write. divine characteristics of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. This means the holy spirit is God, co-equal with God the Father and God the Son and is of the same essence. God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct from one another in terms of their personal relationship. But they are co-equally God, meaning they are all the being of God. In other words, they do not exist independently one from the other. So, you cannot remove one of the three persons of God and still have God as revealed in the Bible. Here are a number of references that point to the Holy Spirit’s divine characteristics: He’s called God (Acts 5:3-4). He’s called the Spirit of God (Gen. 1:2; Judg. 3:10). He’s considered God (Acts 28:25-27; 2 Cor. 6:16; Heb. 3:7-9). He’s treated as equal to God the Father and Son (Matt. 3:16; 28:19; 1 Cor. 12:4-6; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 2:18; 4:4-6; 1 Pet. 1:2). He’s eternal (Heb. 9:14). He’s self-existent (Rom. 8:2). He’s omnipresent (Psa. 139:7-8). He’s omniscient (1 Cor. 2:10-11; John 14:26; 16:13). He’s sovereign (Zech. 12:10). He was involved with creation (Gen. 1:1-2). He enabled the writing of the Bible (2 Pet. 1:21). He helps us to recognize the glory of God (2 Cor. 4:4). He enables us to call upon Jesus as Lord (1 Cor. 12:13). Make no mistake, the holy spirit is so much more than an it or impersonal force-he’s God. God-as revealed in the Bible-is one and eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From what we see above, this means each person within the Trinity shares the same divine attributes. In other words, one person within the Trinity is not more God than the other. Know what else? The Holy Spirit is more than a force-He’s a Person. 11 personal characteristics of the Holy Spirit As the third member of the Trinity, the holy spirit is a person and is also personal. We see this in a few different ways. First, in the Old and New Testament books the Holy Spirit is referred to as “he,” and throughout the New Testament, he’s referred to as a person (John 6:63; 14:26; Rom. 8:11, 16, 26; 1 John 5:6). What we’ll see in the references below, the Holy Spirit can be grieved, resisted, and even insulted. An impersonal force cannot do these things. Only a person can. Second, before ascending to heaven, Jesus said he was going to send the Holy Spirit to be a counselor like him (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit is also capable of teaching (Luke 12:12). Unlike gravity-an impersonal force-that can neither counsel nor teach people, the Holy Spirit can do both. In these two ways, we can see that the Holy Spirit is WAY more than a force-he’s the third member of the Trinity. To place a nice bow on this topic, here are multiple references to the characteristics of the holy spirit: He’s referred to as a Person (John 6:63; 14:26; Rom. 8:11, 16, 26; 1 John 5:6). He speaks (2 Sam. 23:2; Acts 1:16; 8:29; 10:19; 11:12; 13:2; 21:11; 28:25-26; 1 Tim. 4:1; Heb. 3:7-8; Rev. 2:7; 14:13; 22:17). He witnesses (John 15:26). He searches (1 Cor. 2:11). He can be grieved (Isa. 63:10; Eph. 4:30). He loves (Rom. 15:30). He has a mind (Rom. 8:27). He has intelligence (1 Cor. 2:10-11).
Very good presentation. Here is my careful conclusion on this study, that just expands on view 1: It seems that several passages tell us that Jesus’ coming will be seen by all.(not the Rapture, his second coming.) his coming initiates the celestial signs, the world will be in the prophesied conditions… and Jesus will take so long in arriving that the people seeing his coming (apparently like an asteroid in clouds) that they will begin to wonder if their generation will die off before he makes it to earth. He promised that they wouldn’t.
We have to read the whole gospel in its context. Matthew 16: 27 and 28. Christian’s will always find a way to defend scripture. Did Jesus walk on water or did he sink in the waves? We He misses a prophecy it was for another generation not the one He was currently living in.
"Jesus son of god" vs "Jesus himself god" itself has been subject of intense debate UP UNTIL NOW! wake up! You have insulted Jesus! you better apologize
Notably, the verse immediately following the one in question reads: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." It could be argued that Jesus was not talking about the near future and soon-to-be witnessed events. Maybe He was referring to the post-flood generation. He did mention the times of Noah several times in the preceding and subsequent verses.
So many go for the wise man aproch and add more then what is said. The same exact people are here now, the end of the age. All must die in Christ and all must come though fire and water. All souls that existed pre-Jesus have to die in Jesus. Jesus is now currently preaching to those who died in which 8 souls are saved. The 7 churches+1 Islam/watchers, were saved and brought back to die in Christ. Ezekiel 37 clearly outlines reincarnation and yet so many call the Bible a lie and profess it is truth. Judisum is hell, and a dead religion Jesus the word of God, OT, died and Christ the spirit rose. Christians have such a little god, a jeleous god. All sins for all time for everyone has been forgiven. church brings the knowledge of good and evil and condemns the world with that. Seems directly opposite of Jesus' teachings, he only condemned the church.
Daniel 12:4 was fulfilled in Rev 22:10, the Angel told John not to seal the prophecy because the time is near. It was that generation. Jesus instructed to write it and send to 7 churches that exist John's time, not our time nor future. It's finished. We are now on the New Earth following the New Covenant. The knowledge of Good and Evil is still there even satan and his angels no longer present. Pretty much we are at the early generation of the endless generations since it doesn't mention anywhere "Final" or "Last" judgment day.
It's nothing new that christians have to try to make up excuses on why their imaginary messiah failed so badly with this. It's notable that Paul evidently has no idea jesus supposedly makes this promise at all, since that would have put quite a pinch on his claims. I've made up my own bit of nonsense to "explain" why jesus has never come back. In the bible it says that a thousand days is a day to this god. So, if jesus is god, and he claimed that he'd be back within a generation, that would be anywhere between 20-40 years. If each day of those years is a 1000 years, at best ol' JC will be back in around 7.3 million years.
We don't know what He meant by it. He could have meant that current generation of people he was referring to or he could have been referring to the generation that comes after Israel is brought back from the sword. A generation is approx 20-30 years. Some say 50 years. Either way, a generation has passed on both accounts so we really don't know.
The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling, 4 And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai, [And appear from His camp] And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. 5 And all shall be smitten with fear And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. 6 And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame 7 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all (men). 8 But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall all be blessed. And He will help them all, And light shall appear unto them, And He will make peace with them'. 9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. [Chapter 2] 1 Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not change their orbits, and the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and 2 transgress not against their appointed order. Behold ye the earth, and give heed to the things which take place upon it from first to last, how steadfast they are, how none of the things upon earth 3 change, but all the works of God appear to you. Behold the summer and the winter, how the whole earth is filled with water, and clouds and dew and rain lie upon it. [Chapter 3] Observe and see how (in the winter) all the trees seem as though they had withered and shed all their leaves, except fourteen trees, which do not lose their foliage but retain the old foliage from two to three years till the new comes. [Chapter 4] And again, observe ye the days of summer how the sun is above the earth over against it. And you seek shade and shelter by reason of the heat of the sun, and the earth also burns with growing heat, and so you cannot tread on the earth, or on a rock by reason of its heat. [Chapter 5] 1 Observe ye how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear fruit: wherefore give ye heed and know with regard to all His works, and recognize how He that liveth for ever hath made them so. 2 And all His works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks which they accomplish for Him, and their tasks change not, but according as God hath ordained so is it done. 3 And behold how the sea and the rivers in like manner accomplish and change not their tasks from His commandments'. 4 But ye -ye have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the Lord, But ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words With your impure mouths against His greatness. Oh, ye hard-hearted, ye shall find no peace. 5 Therefore shall ye execrate your days, And the years of your life shall perish, And the years of your destruction shall be multiplied in eternal execration, And ye shall find no mercy. 6a In those days ye shall make your names an eternal execration unto all the righteous, b And by you shall all who curse, curse, And all the sinners and godless shall imprecate by you, 7c And for you the godless there shall be a curse. 6d And all the . . . shall rejoice, e And there shall be forgiveness of sins, f And every mercy and peace and forbearance: g There shall be salvation unto them, a goodly light. i And for all of you sinners there shall be no salvation, j But on you all shall abide a curse. 7a But for the elect there shall be light and joy and peace, b And they shall inherit the earth. 8 And then there shall be bestowed upon the elect wisdom, And they shall all live and never again sin, Either through ungodliness or through pride: But they who are wise shall be humble. 9 And they shall not again transgress, Nor shall they sin all the days of their life, Nor shall they die of (the divine) anger or wrath, But they shall complete the number of the days of their life. And their lives shall be increased in peace, And the years of their joy shall be multiplied, In eternal gladness and peace, All the days of their life
Well I still say: Jesus said "THIS GENERATION" I really can't see no way around it no matter how you or someone else try to explain it And Jesus did not say that last generation! So you need to stop adding to the word of God as the Bible warns us not to do.
Jesus answered their questions...The temple was destroyed ,the people of that time went through extreme hardships (mothers even ate their own babies.Sun moon stars is the same language used to describe the destruction of Babylon Is 13 :9-11.The only thing left that does not seem to fit is He has not returned yet.
He was referring to the generation that was involved in the fig tree coming back to life. The fig tree is Israel, the generation in view is the ww2 veterans. They are all about to vanish, pass away but 2030/31. So THAT is the timeline to the end of this age.
I believe in more than this place! Yet I believe the Bible contradicts itself! One the old testament says to fear not the new testament tries to fear you from the devil Satan Jesus and God! That dosent make any sense to me! Another the first commandment god says put no god or gods before me! So why do Christians put Jesus before God! They say in the new testament that Jesus wants you to be perfect for God! Yet God says he wants us to grow and learn and knows that perfection does not exist! He just wants us to do good! The Bible contradicts itself very badly this is why its hard to believe the both bibles! First Bible fear not 365 times! New testament fear everything lol not trying to put down people's beliefs yet I feel we all have the right to believe what we want to! Dosent this country say that we have the freedom of religion! One thing I know the Catholic religion is forced upon us in movie television music billboard signs! In my opinion fear spreading is being exampled to us on its highest levels since I've been alive!
We are closer then we think. LGBT is in The Holy Bible as the churches will turn away from him and the world will turn away from Israel and they are God people
The age of grace has been a very long time in our understanding but a 1000 years is like a day to our Lord - 2 Peter 3:8-9
The end of the age Jesus was speaking of was the age of the Jews under the old covenant. That age ended around 70 AD. No more temple, no more sacrifice, no more old covenant.
That’s absolutely not what that verse says. You left part of it out:
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that *_one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day_*
This essentially means that God is in a realm outside of time.
@@bradharford6052 Why did 70 AD change things more than 586 BC? What is there to keep it from happening again?
@@deanfry879 70 Ad seems to have the components that Jesus spoke of in His discourse just prior to His crucifixion.
Whether literal or not, Nero's name adds up to 666. He also oppressed the Jews in and around Jerusalem for 42 months. More than a million Jews were slaughtered and many thrown into Gehenna to have their corpses burned and eaten by worms. Plus this happened within 40 years of Jesus being alive.
I think one significant thing that would suggest that this would not be happening again, is that almost all of those things related directly to the Jews and not Gentiles. In our world today the followers of Jesus Christ are made up primarily of non Jewish people.
Also there is no temple in Jerusalem and no temple in heaven, which was referred to in the Revelation. We, the ekklesia, body of Christ, are now the temple of God.
@@bradharford6052The Natural people of Israel was 70 AD only put aside - for a Long Time. But When the Lord Jesus Christ will Return on the Mount of Oliver the still living Rest of Israel will accept him - After the 7 years tribulation.
The fig tree is a symbol of Israel in the Bible. It put forth its young leaves on May 14, 1948. The other things Jesus mentioned in this "generation" discourse, have been escalating faster and faster since Israel became a nation again (1948) I interpret this to to mean the generation that sees Israel back on it's land will not pass away until all these things are fulfilled. Observing what our world is going through in this present time it's not much of a stretch to deduce the time of the rapture, and His return is near. I'm not dogmatic about this interpretation, it is just how I see it. All I know for sure is Jesus IS coming. And I can hardly wait to be with Him forever. MARANATHA !!!
You are correct about 1948 but there's no pre tribulation rapture. II Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1, 2, 3, 4
Go read Luke. He says all trees.
Amen, the rapture is soon! Soon all things spoken will come to pass.
This is the Amir Tsarfati interpretation which I think for the most part is feasible, however, I would not be dogmatic given that this means a generation being 70-80 years of life would put the Rapture at about 4 years from now. When does the timeline for a generation actually begin? At 1948? or those born after 1948? Or once the prophetic signs begin to unfold? I think perhaps the latter, though I wouldn't be dogmatic on this either. That being said, definitely many of the prophetic signs that Christ mentioned in the Olivet Discourse have already begun to take shape, so it's clear we are in the season. But, of course, no man (Christ included) knows the day or the hour.
Jesus was a liar, false prophet, and will not be returning..

I understood that the generational clock started ticking when Israel became a nation. A generation can be interpreted in more than one way. I believe it refers to the Bible saying a man's life is 70 years, and 80 by strength. My mother were born the year before Israel became a nation. My dad the same year when Israel became a nation. Both still doing well, but we closing in on the 80 years. 🎉
I agree that the generational clock started ticking in 1948 (when Israel came back as a nation). The bible does not specify the lifespan of a generation. But I believe it is safe to assume that whoever was born in 1948 will still be alive when the end time comes (the tribulation that will last for 7 years after the antichrist signs a peace treaty with Israel).
By observing what is going on around the world, I believe the age of the Gentile is about to end; meaning God will start to focus on bringing His chosen people, Israel, back to Him. Likely the ongoing war has something to do with this God's plan?
I also believe in 7000 years of human history, and we are approaching 6000 years. Human history will conclude with 1000 years of Christ's Millennial Kingdom. Just as God rested on the 7th day of the creation, humans will live with genuine peace, rest, and prosperity under the rule of Jesus Christ, Our King and the only Savior.
Only God knows when. I believe the next major prophetic event will be the rapture of the church and follow closely by the introduction of the antichrist on the world stage.
We are truly living in an exciting times. So hang on tightly with our Savior, Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters.
I agree. Psalm 90 describes this. Some say 120. I stand on Psalms…
I think in context, Jesus was speaking of His generation and the things He mentioned did happen and culminated around AD 70. Also note that in the Revelation account, which is figurative, not literal, the tribulation, beast, etc. took place when there was a temple in Jerusalem AND a temple in heaven. There is no longer a temple in Jerusalem and there is no longer a temple in heaven. We are the temple of the living God. Everything changed at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the picture in the last chapters of the Revelation, notice that there is no temple in the city where God dwells. In my opinion this new heaven and new earth became a reality at the resurrection of Christ. All things were made new, old things have passed away. 2 Cor 5.
Messiah 2030
TH-cam
@@AsItIsWritten66 What does that mean? Messiah 2030?
Any bible I read says "...this generation will not pass away...". Leaving words out will change meanings.
Exactly. The cult of Dispensationalism needs to go away and quit distracting the Church with it’s gerrymandering scripture to make a Terminator/Planet of the Apes Apocalypse future scenario. This is my Father’s world. Christ reigns now and sits on God’s right hand and he is guiding His Church to victory.
That first century chosen generation (whom Peter was writing to) of Israel, rejected it. They rejected all of it. They rejected their Messiah and their kingdom. So, it didn't come. Their 70th week never came because they fell in unbelief and diminished (Romans 11:11-12) and salvation (was of the Jews) has come to the Gentiles. Paul was given a Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles (Ephesians 3:1-2), which is what happened instead of Israel's 70th week. Today, during this Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles, Israel is still blinded as to who their Messiah is.
But we see in Revelation 7, that they will begin their 80th week and they will rise and shine as a light unto the Gentiles during a time of darkness (Israel's 70th week, Tribulation, Jacob's trouble). Isaiah 60:1-3. And the Great Multitude is the result of the 144,000 Jews preaching Israel's Gospel of the Kingdom in all the world before the end (2nd half of Israel's 70th week) comes. Matthew 24:14
" this generation will not pass away TILL ALL THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE.....leaving words out changes the meaning....
Yup. And Paul's Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles explains why none of it came to pass, but it will come to pass for another Chosen Generation of Israel. (from 1 Peter 2:9)
.
One of the hardest questions to answer.
Joel 3:1-3 nails it! In that day and at that time when I have restored the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations to the valley of Jehoshaphat and judge them for the way they treated my people Israel and divided my land. My paraphrase.

That verse also shows that The Church cannot be the replacement of Israel. The historical fake Establishment Church has been more of the oppressor and murderer of the Jews.

Adam who was to restore the kingdom, is the very same one whom fell from his own delusion of trying to be higher than God as God, whom then came up from the dust of the earth, breathed his spirit in through his nostrils, met another in his image who had a rod in his hand, ate from the tree, as he climbed through the branches of the tree of knowing to the cross where he then shed his skin when all was completed, and ended up in the tree of life
I will rise up like moses who was in the garden I saw, who then witnessed me in the end in all God's Glory.
I will rise up from amongst your brethen and walk amongst you.... and you won't see me in you, because all you see is a veil.... like a wall drawn in the sand where you can only see your own name
Anti christ is to come from the other branch..... religion of man who still has a dome over his head.

@@katiejon17 if you want I can tell you.... he has not come until you cry out, and then he will be a weight taken of your shoulders.
what happened
I think it is clear from the entire context of these chapters that Jesus was answering questions that were just asked of Him. There is evidence that the things Jesus spoke about the desecration of the temple, rise of antichrist, tribulation, destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, and the end of the age, all occurred and culminated around 70 AD. That was the end of the Jewish age, the age of Judaism and old covenant.
So, it seems clear that Jesus was speaking to people, many of whom would be alive to see and experience the things He spoke.
Also note that Jesus was not speaking to the world in general, but to Jews in particular. The things He spoke pertained to the nation of Israel and their current system of covenant and worship of God that was soon coming to an end and in fact did come to an end in AD 70.
This guy is correct. Video is wrong and trying to explain away Jesus words in their own understanding.
Agreed. Especially when you consider that Jesus was answering the questions of his disciples in privacy!
Not so
How come so many seem to know the word
Yet cannot recognize a PROPHECY when one is given
There are MANY prophecies in the NT
Not of the current time, the words were spoken
But the time coming - which NOW IS
The END of the beginning and the beginning to the End
@@anjalE30 Jesus was prophesying to Israel about their coming destruction which took place within their generation. Pretty easy to understand.
I get a lot of great truth from Got Questions but they are totally wrong in this video, trying to make the bible fit their belief instead of seeing it for what it's saying. You are absolutely right with what you say in your comment. Jesus was talking about that generation and it did pass away when all those things took place in 70AD and the fall of Jerusalem. He says "this generation". It doesn't get any clearer then that. Why do people try and twist His words to suit their own narrative.
I appreciate you mentioning the destruction of Jerusalem as a possible explanation. I have some friends who believe the end times was only in reference to that event. It’s a difficult concept to grapple with but I’m learning more and more about all the perspectives on this.
But, if one looks up in a concordance the expression "this generation", 100% of them refer to the generation actually alive at the time.
Grammatically speaking, why would Mat 24 mean a future one, thus confusing readers of bible prophecies?
Because they are letting their presuppositions change the text.

This generation
Dispensationalist play games with this phrase
Matthew 24:34
Greek ‘ganea’
A particular period of time
‘This’ near demonstrative
Not “that”
Jesus is not linguistically challenged
Amen! Already happened in 70 AD.
Yep
When Jesus said "This generation", He was reffering to the generation that will witness the things He prophesied about, not the generation during His time on earth. Its like saying
"There will be people that will witness this event. These people will not die before seeing it."
That must make much more sense in Hebrew because that’s very strange wording to say those words like that.
Remember the poor FigTree that Jesus cursed? The Fig Tree represents The Nation of Israel, which Jesus also cursed and it died and was dead for 2000 years, but Israel was resurrected 75 years ago on May 14 , 1948 .
Jesus tells us that when we see these things BEGIN to happen , “look up for your redemption is drawing near “. Heaven and Earth will pass away but my words will never pass away
Jesus said the Kingdom had drawn near for the lost sheep of Israel only!
Matthew 10:5 These 12 Jesus sent out, giving them these instructions: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter any Sa·marʹi·tan city;6 but instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’
Matthew 4:17 From that time on, Jesus began preaching and saying: “Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”
The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near: This message of a new world government was the theme of Jesus’ preaching. (Mt 10:7; Mr 1:15) John the Baptist started to proclaim a similar message about six months prior to Jesus’ baptism (Mt 3:1, 2); yet Jesus could say with added meaning that the Kingdom had “drawn near,” since he was now present as the anointed King-Designate. There is no record that after Jesus’ death his disciples continued to proclaim that the Kingdom had “drawn near” or was at hand.
The Genaration of 70 AD!
The Gospels was written after Jerusalem was destroyed. The Apostles were writing letters to the congregations before the Gospels was written. Because after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. The Jewish practice of animal sacrifices ended when the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem. With the temple gone, there is no longer a place for the sacrifices to be offered according to the Mosaic Law. Did they make the Gospels up because they had no temple no more. No they didn't. The Gospels are proof of Jesus the Lamb of YHVH Yehovah Jehovah God! The need for animal sacrifices no longer existed, for Christ had fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law (Matthew 5:17). Animal sacrifices were merely a type of the perfect Sacrifice-the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). The sacrifice of Christ paid the debt of sin for all mankind, both Jew and Gentile (Romans 1:16; Hebrews 9:12-15).
John was an eyewitness to Jesus and the destruction of Jerusalem and he received Revelation for the congregations of Christ!
The First of John
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have observed and our hands have felt, concerning the word of life, 2 (yes, the life was made manifest, and we have seen and are bearing witness and reporting to you the everlasting life that was with the Father and was made manifest to us), 3 that which we have seen and heard we are reporting also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

Revelation 5:5 Isaiah 19:19
Why is 70 AD important. Why not reset our calendar at Jesus birth.
Do you know when the Gentile Times Ended. How did the Magi know Jesus was born as King. But the Roman Empire of King Herod and the Jews did not. They were following the Trinity of Sun, Moon, and Star Worship. Look at the Sumerian solar system picture. Jesus is the true light ,The Bright Morning Star! The same star a person puts over a Christmas Tree! Our calendar was reset and counted backwards to have Jerusalem destroyed in 70AD. Jesus shows up at 12 and 30 years old. Why did the Jews think Jesus was almost 50. There is a difference of 20 years. So when did the Gentile Times End. Using bible chronology for 1914 or according to history 1934.
My heart, spirit and mind tells me we are so close to the Rapture that I try to always remind people to Repent, TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. Rejecting God, his Son and the word of God does not mean you pick the consequences of it. Simply surrender and get saved. You will be forever grateful, you did.
Indeed! We're the last generation! We were chosen to witness this unfold before our eyes! Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!
The Rapture is not really Biblical. It is never specifically mentioned in scripture. It was an idea created and propogated by a man who was a theologian in the 1800s.
The written scripture only states that Jesus will return to raise everyone up like He was risen.
"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Thank you for the lesson. Very helpful.
Unless Jesus meant the end of the Jewish age. Then everything he talked about anti-christ--Nero desolation of the Holy Place--Roman soldiers seizing control of the Temple and It's destruction, etc. has happened If Jesus meant a future generation He would said that. He wouldn't lead people to a wrong thought
In Luke version, it cannot be future. It specifically says they ( Jews) will be lead into captivity. So when Jesus returns in future the Jews are lead into captivity? NO. He is speaking of 70 A.D. and that’s exactly what happened.
I have started to wonder if the six day war is the start of this clock. Because, if only briefly, Israel had near or all the promised land captured.
The generation in which these thing shall come to pass. Meaning those who are living at the time the prophecies are fulfilled. Don’t think we’re quite there yet.
To add to that - the Hebrew language has a tense not present in English - it was called the "prophetic" tense. It is used by prophets often and indicated by conjugations in the verbs, etc. The passage in question was written in the prophetic tense confirming that the events that are translated as present in English are in prophetic tense originally - which is a way of talking about the future as if it were the present.

Awesome Praise God forever amen ✝️✝️💞💞
I respectfully disagree with your entire explanation. Jesus was speaking directly to his present audience as they were the “this generation”. This is further shown by reading Matt. 16:27-28 where Jesus tells those disciples present with him that “they would not taste death before they would see the Son of Man returning to set up his kingdom”. What happened ??? The only explanation is that God the Father decided to interrupt the Kingdom Gospel with the gospel of the Grace of God. This dispensation of Grace is now forming The Church, the body of Christ and has gone on now, for nearly 2000 years. This is all explained in the opening chapters of Ephesians, and especially Ephesians, chapter 3.
After the rapture occurs, the focus will then resume to the prophetic program with Israel, picking up right where Jesus was warning Israel about all the events described in Matt. Chapter 24.
Well done

Thank you for your clarity!
He's talking about the generation from 30ad to 70ad. That 40yrs was the early church establishing the kingdom of God in the Earth. And at the end in 70ad Jesus came back the 2nd time to take his people to heaven so that the kingdom of God would be in both places.
Jesus meant exactly what He said. The generation He was speaking to would see the things He was describing come to pass. And they did. Wars, rumours of wars, tribulations, diseases occur on earth all the time - history shows that there has never been a time when they did not occur.
The rebirth of Israel, the Fig Tree that Jesus cursed is the main sign of Jesus return. Israel was dead for 2000 years , but was resurrected 75 years ago . Behold The Fig Tree . Remember the poor Fig Tree that Jesus cursed the day before He went to the cross?
The United Nations , The 8th Kingdom is reborn with the Nation of Israel. The 6th Kingdom the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem by Nero who is 666 or 616. It was the disgusting thing that causes desolation in 70 AD and 2030 AD For it is a man's number the year 2030, It's when man sets up a one world government, one world religion and one world economy. It's called Agenda 21.
Revelation 13:18 This is where it calls for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number,* and its number is 666. Revelation 13 The first beast John sees coming out of the sea is the 8th King. That starts the conclusion in 2030 and rules for 42 months The second beast John sees is the 7th king. The beast with two horns is the duel world power. The Great War started in 1914. The beginning of the last days. The generation of the last days would be like the days of Noah 120 years.
2300 years would be the appointed time!
Daniel 8:13 And I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one speaking: “How long will the vision of the constant feature and of the transgression causing desolation continue, to make both the holy place and the army things to trample on?” 14 So he said to me: “Until 2,300 evenings and mornings; and the holy place will certainly be restored to its right condition.”
19 Then he said: “Here I am causing you to know what will happen in the final part of the denunciation, because it is for the appointed time of the end.
Matthew 24:15
the disgusting thing that causes desolation: Daniel foretold that “disgusting thing(s)” would be associated with desolation. (Da 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) Jesus here indicates that “the disgusting thing that causes desolation” had not yet appeared; it was to come in the future. And 33 years after Jesus’ death, Christians witnessed the initial fulfillment of this prophecy when they did catch sight of a disgusting thing standing in a holy place. The parallel account at Lu 21:20 reads: “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.” In 66 C.E., pagan Roman armies surrounded “the holy city,” Jerusalem, a place that the Jews viewed as holy and that was the center of the Jewish revolt against Rome. (Mt 4:5; 27:53) Discerning Christians, who recognized that the Roman army with its idolatrous banners was “the disgusting thing,” took it as the final signal to “begin fleeing to the mountains.” (Mt 24:15, 16; Lu 19:43, 44; 21:20-22) After the Christians fled, the Romans desolated both the city and the nation. Jerusalem was destroyed in the year 70 AD., and the last Jewish stronghold, Masada, fell to the Romans in 73 AD. (Compare Da 9:25-27.) The detailed initial fulfillment of this prophecy provides a solid basis for trusting that the greater fulfillment will also take place, culminating with Jesus’ “coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Mt 24:30) Many ignore Jesus’ statement that Daniel’s prophecy would be fulfilled after Jesus’ day.
Christendom believes the 2300 evenings and mornings ended in 1844. It was called the Great Disappointment. But not by the Catholic Church. This was the works of the Holy ones the Faithful Slaves. Matthew 24:45-47. So when you add the 70 year generation for the disgusting thing to appear, you arrive at 1914. The last days 120 years is 2034. The Gentile Times ending in 1934. Abraham offspring is a 100 year generation is 2034. Ishmael born to Abraham at 86 years old was not the fulfillment of the prophecy. The Nation of Israel created by the United Nations in 1948 will their peace last for 86 years or less. Will be 2034 also.
1948+86=2034
1934+100=2034
1914+120=2034

People who want to believe only true things, don't believe books that lack credibility. 🖖
Mike Winger has a good video pointing out that the earthquakes are not a sign of the end, but the earthquakes are what will happen before the signs of the end begin.
Why does everyone twist Jesus's words? Especially when HE said "Truly Truly" THIS generation will not pass until ALL be fulfilled.
Was the desolation of the temple accomplished in "that" generation?
Yes, yes it was and Jesus only spoke TRUTH. The abomination of desolation took place in 70AD. End of story.
If you need proof of the celestial signs that you spoke of, please look into the writings of Josephus (a non binary witness) who gave an eye witness account of everything that took place during that great and dreadful tribulation.
It is out of ignorance that we believed all the "dispensational lies" that these are future events..
The end is also referred to the end of the age, or the end of the old covenant..
Modern-day Israel is nothing more than a political entity that STILL denies Yeshua as their Messiah. Yet, we are labeled as antisemitic if we call truth truth.
Stand with antichrist? Nope, not me. Who is antichrist except for those who deny that Jesus is the Christ?
Many evangelical Christians misinterpret this to mean within 80 years (a generation due to strength) from the establishment of modern day Israel in 1948, the second coming of Christ will occur, i.e. Jesus will return no later than 2028. They point out the fact the fig tree in Matthew 24 refers to Israel, however Luke 22 also refers to the fig tree and ALL the trees (other nations).
Dr. Andy Woods and several Bible prophecy teachers believe that the people (i.e. this generation without referring to the length of a generation) who will witness the Antichrist entering the rebuilt Third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and defiles it will be the people who will also see Christ’s return to Earth 3.5 years later.
We don't know what He meant by it. He could have meant that current generation of people he was referring to or he could have been referring to the generation that comes after Israel is brought back from the sword. A generation is approx 20-30 years. Some say 50 years. Either way, a generation has passed on both accounts so we really don't know.
Christ used the word "generation" 23 times apart from the Olivet prophecy. Look them up in a concordance. You'll see that every one of them pertains to the generation He was talking to in His day. Quotes like "first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation", "an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah", "the men of Nineveh will rise in the judgement with this generation", "the queen of the south will rise in the judgement with this generation", "o faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?", "all the righteous blood shed on the earth.... will come upon this generation" etc etc. Yes, He also mentions His return as a concluding event, but the bulk of the Olivet prophecy is about AD70, and it is to this event that "all these things" pertain.
As much as I don't want to agree with you, you've made some good points; enough for me to study your philosophy further. God bless
Thank you for pointing this out, @ronmey7500 . What you just did here is what many "theologians" and "Biblical Scholars" fail to do...compare scripture with scripture.
How about Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher in the vein of John the Baptist and was shocked when he was put to death on the cross shouting my god my god why have you forsaken me generation just as easily meant his followers in his time he also promised the apostles all 12 even Judas 12 thrones so it’s pretty clear he believed he would rule above the 12 on earth
The generation is the one jesus was talking to. Its not that difficult.
Jesus would have his invisible presence immediately when he returned to heaven. Also known as the kingdom for the thosand years.
Thank you very much brother! I've been struggling with that verse. It makes perfect sense now, thank you! 😊👍

This Generation is NOT talking about any specific Generation, including the LAST Generation. The Key to understand this is. SHALL NOT PASS.

Appreciate these video. Got Questions is a blessing. Thank you
This generation meant that one. Fulfilled in 70 A.D.. Don't confuse the End of Days with the End of Judah, The Temple. and the End of Jerusalem, which happened in 70 A.D.
All those events did take place within that generation. Heaven and earth ( Old Covenant Israel ) did pass away and we are now in the eternal New Covenant.
That is an interesting interpretation.
What is also interesting is in Revelation, which was in part an epistle and written to literal churches in existence at the time of the writing, starts off in the beginning of chapter 1 as saying “to show his servants the things which must soon take place”.
I’m bringing that up because any reader at the time would think “soon” means “soon” not “a day with the Lord is as a thousand years” or whatever allegorical meaning it could have.
It would seem that both many parts of Revelation along with the prophecy in Matt 24 were literally taking place within the generation after Jesus or the generation around Jesus’s time. You really have to lay another framework on all those verses to get them to mean sometime out in the future (like thousands of years as many teach).
I've heard people say "a generation in the Bible is less that 60 years".
I think that He was referring to the modern generational life span, not the shorter life span of His time.
The verse is straight forward. Jesus came back in 70 AD.
Great answer!
"These things obviously didn't happen during the lifespan of the people alive at that time."
You sure? Couldn't it simply be a reference to the destruction of the temple in 70 AD?
Is that possibility excluded in order to make Jesus' prophecy fit with some modern interpretation favoring Israel or the Rapture or something?
Colossians 1:23 (ESV)
23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister
Apostle Paul said that preaching work has been done in his time and that's what Jesus was saying that even those who stab him will see him return in the clouds.
Jesus return occured before 100 A.D.
This is a perfect example of begging the question. His conclusion that "this generation" does not refer to the present generation but a future one is predicated on his conclusion that the things in Matthew 24 did not take place. His conclusion has effected his interpretation of the text. Aka eisegesis. "Did not happen in the lifespan of people alive in Jesus Day. Obviously." Based on his eschatology, he then interprets "this generation" as that future generation. A more honest way to handle this text is: A)get your eschatology right and realize "this generation" meat exactly that. B) the way people like C.S. Lewis did. Understand and acknowledge that the people who heard him say that, fully expected it to happen in their lifetime. EVEN THOUGH you personally do not believe the events in Matthew 24 have occurred yet.
Jesus is referring to His disciples "generation", from 1A.D. to 70 A.D.
Correct.💯
''THIS'' generation obviously refers to the generation of Jews living during Daniel's 70th week.
When do the young shoots of the fig tree begin to tender and when does it start to put out its leaves? Of course when the terrible events of Matthew 24 begin to happen (false christs, wars, famines, earthquakes, THE abomination of desolation being set up and the 2nd coming of Christ).
When you see ''ALL THESE THINGS'', know for certain that He is near.
WHAT things?
Of course the terrible events of Matthew 24 (false christs, wars, famines, earthquakes, THE abomination of desolation being set up and the 2nd coming of Christ).
Sadly too many date-setters equate this parable with 1948. The Parable of the Fig Tree has of course nothing to do with the events surrounding 1948.
Jesus wasn't talking about any event of the Church-age.
All of that already happened in 70 AD.
@@mattrhoden2401 You think the Abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet was set up in AD 70??? (Matthew 24:15).

This view is known as "preterism". However, this is a serious exegetical error that forces the interpreter to read spiritualized, allegorical meanings into this passage that do not lend themselves to sound exegetical methods. The grammatical-historical method of hermeneutics must also be followed in these passages, and this leads to a consistently futuristic interpretation of the crucial prophecies.
Only Matthew 24:1-2 was fulfilled in AD 70. However, Matthew 24:4-31 is obviously about Daniel's 70th week (Daniel 9:27).
Matthew 24 contains the phrase "but the end is not yet". Everything said before has been what history has been, and some of it bad enough to wonder if the end is coming, but they were not signs of the end. They were mentioned by Jesus so we would know the difference when the things after that phrase began to happen.

The temple was destroyed in 70 AD. The Old covenant is OVER!
Jesus also said that there were people alive at the time that would not see death. The belief that the messiah was returning to be a king that drive out the Romans was not uncommon. John the Baptist was one. More importantly the early Christians believed it and were told things like don't get pregnant because the end times will be filled with suffering . Paul also believed that the end was at hand. How could Jesus, the perfect communicator, say something so universally misunderstood . He mush have known how people would have taken the idea of this generation being the one he was talking to.
This is the generation of grace unlike the world defines a generation! Our bibles have hidden meanings that only the Holy Spirit can edify for us!
Jesus brings us comfort. Jesus brings us joy and hope, knowing that He removed all of our sins at Calvary. If you need some teaching on the matter, the you tube channel, 'faith cometh by hearing' has a fine teaching series titled, 'change of mind' which helped me understand the matter.
Nowhere in the Tanakh is it stated that forgiveness can be found only through blood sacrifice, and especially not human blood sacrifice.
In the book of Jonah, the people of Nineveh had sinned and bible god was going to punish them. When Jonah showed them the error of their ways, they fasted and prayed, and were forgiven. The same thing happened in the book of Esther. Living in Persia between the first and second Temples, they fasted, regretted their sins and were forgiven. These historical examples clearly show that when there is no Temple, sincere repentance is all that is needed according to Jewish scriptures.
Did David need Jesus or did he just repent to receive forgiveness?
Did Samson need Jesus or did he just repent to receive forgiveness?
How about Daniel? Did he sacrifice lots of virgins when requesting forgiveness for all his people, or did he just do some serious repenting?
Read your bible more. The Pauline Greco-Roman Christianity u believe was not the Judaism Jesus was raised to believe as a Torah following jew.
(Matthew 5:17-20)
Human sacrifice is an abomination according to the laws of Moses in which Jesus supported 100%.
Jews never believed the messiah was supposed to be killed. Jesus's cult followers created the 'died for sins' belief to justify his death, because the alternative was admitting he wasn't the Messiah.
By claiming bible god impregnated a BETROTHED female, u not only are claiming bible god is a hypocrite for violating his own mosaic laws, but u are also calling him an adulterer.
Most Christians do not seriously read nor study properly the Hebrew scriptures which are what Jesus supported.
In Luke 8:3, Jesus proved himself a hypocrite by taking money for his ministry from rich women after he told his followers they didn't need to worry about their needs as god would feed them like he feeds the birds (Matthew 6:25).
He also demonized rich people various times to his followers while acting like a two-faced politician and getting bank rolled by them, which certainly is hypocrisy. (Matthew 19:23-26)
Why didn't Jesus just bust out some magical loaves and fishes to sell if he needed money? (Matthew 14:19)
Because the story of the loaves and fishes is mythology and jesus needed money like everyone else. 🖖

(All of the generation that supposedly heard that claim passed away without any of the false claims happening. Jesus lied)
James 5:8
"The lord's coming is near"
(More failed claims meant to convince people in the 1st century ONLY. Again, "NEAR" isn't language people use unless they think something is going to occur in their time. James lied and made false claims.)
Matthew 24:34
"34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."
(A lie. They all died)
Matthew 16:28
28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
(Didn't happen. All standing there died. Jesus lied.)
People who want to believe only true things, don't believe books that lack credibility. 🖖
Come mesiah. When he comes all earth will bow to him and all will know god. There will be no wars (othed than countries going against Israel and getting cut downl) or hatred.
The people that were born when Jerusalem became a nation will not passaway before Jesus's return
Not exactly, The generation, not the people.
The generation that was born in 1949 will not pass away before jesus returns
Thank you! Amen
You're full of it
Respectfully, I disagree, Jesus was talking to that generation and not a future generation. Right throughout Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the word generation doesn't change. And the judgement language used in the latter verses is taken from Isaiah 13. He did come in judgement in that generation.
The context of Matt 24 begins in Matt 23. Through chapter 23, Jesus is excoriating the Sanhedrin for their poor leadership, not keeping the covenant and for keeping the children of God from worshiping him. Jesus then predicts the destruction of the Temple. Later, when on the Mount of Olives, the Disciples ask Christ in privacy "when will these things be." Christ's answer is that these events will take place during their generation. Furthermore, the "celestial signs" of Matt 24 is an OT imagery that always denoted the destruction of a specific enemy of God. Putting that back in context of Matt 23 and Matt 24, it becomes clear that Jesus is talking about the destruction of the Sanhedrin and the Temple age, and thus bringing about the full commencement of the Church Age. That truth becomes all the more evident when you put Christ's prophetic words into the smaller context of Jesus answering a specific question to his Disciples in privacy that the only sensible answer is that Christ is telling THEM what signs THEY need to be on the watch for so THEY can take appropriate action. Further cementing the veracity with which the Disciples took this prophecy to mean the specific events of 70 AD is that that era's historians noted that no Christians remained in Jerusalem when the Roman armies destroyed the city. Clearly, the Disciples shared the prophecy and God's people heeded the words to the point of being out of the city before it was destroyed.
The video is not complete. Many calculate from 1948 the formation of the nation of Israel and add the generation of 40 or 70 years around that. That mean 2018 and if 80 years 2028 the second coming. Another interpretation is “this nation will not pass away” changing generation for nation. Generation mean people or a time frame. Question how long is a generation in the bible? Should we start counting from 1948?😅
Or do you count from 1967 when the Temple Mount was taken, or to a date not yet since there is no Temple?
To find out what He meant, why don't you ask Him?
He was referring to the Jewish people returning to their homeland. It is amazing that this is not mentioned in this video.
120 year life spans (the limit God gave man in the Old Testament).
2048 (when the Jews returned to Israel) - 2068.
Edit: In a letter to a close friend, Isaac Newton predicted Jesus's return would happen around 2060 - 2062 after studying the Bible carefully himself.
People need hope not condemnation in these times . Our gods property is mercy . Especially children give up on religion because they get scared of God. While this is good you should know he loves you like a protective parent.
But wrath will come, and we are warned.
The end of the age, not the world.
Even so come Lord Jesus !
Please make "genea" fit in any other context as a generation in the future. Jesus was talking to his contemporaries.
the living will be " caught up " to meet him in the air !
0:50 "Jesus meant something different...."....................HA!
Let's find some BS and try to make it stick.....................................fools don't know any better, anyhow.
I took it to mean exactly what he said. The generation of Jews that he dealt with during his earthly ministry are still there today insofar as their blind eyes, deaf ears, and hard hearts relative to who Jesus is.
And they will remain there until they reach a point in the future when the Antichrist will have them in such a state that they will realize that the Messiah, which they collectively believe exists, is their only hope for survival. They will cry out to God as a people and the Messiah will come to their aid. It will just happen to be the prophet from Nazareth who they rejected and crucified 2000 years ago.
I more lean towards the dual fulfillment side of things. As far as I can tell, all of Jesus’ prophecy was fulfilled by AD 70, including the celestial signs, as we can see Jewish historians recorded “Bad omens” shortly before, including the sun darkening, and comets in the sky.
The word translated “generation” could also be translated “people”. The Jewish people will still be on the earth until “these things take place”.
The generation which listened to him will not pass away until the Temple was destroyed.
1 Corinthians 15:22-28 - The Resurrection
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
1 Corinthians 15:42-58 - King James Version
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
John 6:53-63 - New International Version
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
HE WAS TALKING TO 5HE DICIPLES IN MATT34. IN 29 HE SAID BEHOLD I HAVE TOLD YOU IN ADVANCE( ALL THE STATEMENTS UP TO 29. FROM 1 TO 29 IS ABOUT THEIR GENERATION
Where we miss it:
We think verse 3 of Matthew 24 is one big question to which Jesus gives one big answer.
If we do get that verse 3 is actually three questions that get answered one by one, then we expect the answers to come in the same order.
Dr. Michael Brown's explanation, the best I could piece it together through recall:
Matthew 24:3 is three questions, that get answered by Jesus in reverse order, chiastic style.
When will this happen? (every stone of the Temple thrown down, as commented in 24:1-2)
What will be the sign of your coming?
What will be the sign of the end of the age?
24:4-24:22 Jesus answers what the sign/s will be of the end of the age. Signs are given rather than times.
24:23-24:33 What things they will see (signs) when the Son of Man comes. In the question they asked Jesus the sign of his coming, so when Jesus answers about the Son of Man's coming, he is answering about himself. This is one way we know that when Jesus said "the Son of Man" he was referring to himself.
24:34-24:35 Jesus answers about the timing. Here he is answering the first question - the "when" question, which was about when will the stones of the Temple be
thrown down.
Three Q's and 3 A's. (3 questions and 3 answers)
Q1-Q2-Q3-A3-A2-A1.
Yes, 3 questions 3 answers . Remember the Fig Tree that Jesus cursed and it shriveled up ? That Fig Tree represents The Nation of Israel.and it’s destruction in 70 AD . Jesus tells us that when we see “ The Fig Tree “ getting leaves again we are to know his return is near .
Israel was dead for nearly 2000 years , but 3 years after the Holocaust Israel was resurrected from the dead, May 14 , 1948 . And exactly 70 years later Jerusalem became the capital, May 14, 2018 .
The Bible tells us that in the Last Days Israel will be the epicenter of world attention and tension, and she is. This is a real miracle considering that she was dead for 2000 years !
Yes , , The King is coming !
Amen thank you
People look at a generation as perhaps a hundred years but Jesus meant the Generation of Israel as Israel is the apple of God's eyes end of story
Well, you do have a few things wrong. "This Generation" means exactly that, the generation Jesus was talking to. Back up a few chapters and Jesus said there would be those with him alive when they see these things. Are they still alive to see a future event thousands of years in the future? You did get right about the dual fulfillment. Unless the bible says there is a dual fulfillment, then saying there is one when nothing is mentioned of a dual fulfillment makes it arbitrary. That "future time" you are talking about, is the 3 1/2 years from 66 AD to 70 AD. So, those with Jesus were alive when the judgment on the nation of Israel happened. If you read the passages in context you will see this is a localized event, not a whole world event. Also, this "will happen quickly when it starts" is not in the Bible, if it was you would have gave the passage. In Rev 1 these things will "soon" take place (since Revelations was written in 65AD), "soon" means that "soon" which was in 66AD to 70AD. Those celestial signs are not literal, they are old Testament apocalyptic imagery. So yes they did all happen in 70AD. Chapters 1 through 19 of Revelations have all been fulfilled. The judgement of the nation of Israel by the sign of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, ending the old covenant era and the start of the new covenant. We are in the millennial time period of Chapter 20. What you are teaching is the eschatology of dispensationalism, aka "futurism". If you do your research, you will find its roots in Zionism.
Futurism was concocted by Jesuit priests to take the heat off the Papacy.
Informative refutation of preterism. It's all a big mistranslation. TH-cam MZTV 336 and MZTV 1137-39.
I watched to learn how people these days try to explain “generation” and found no alternative to the normal and natural meaning of a time of growing up and having children, about 40 years. It doesn’t mean race or kind of people, it means a lifetime of a group of people living at the same time.
The generation of the fall of the second temple is the same generation of the Second Coming and the fall of the celestial bodies. What the guy needs to do, that he doesn’t even try to do is to explain the nature of the events listed. They are the judgement of the end of the Second Temple and the people of God and that system of creation, that “heaven and earth” that passed away in 70 CE. We are not living in that old creation anymore. We are living in the new heavens and the new earth, with no more sea, no sun and moon, our light is the Lamb.
In Psalm 110:1, David says, “The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool’” (ESV). In Matthew 22:44, Jesus quotes this verse in a discussion with the Pharisees in order to prove that the Messiah is more than David’s son; He is David’s Lord.
The clause the LORD says to my Lord contains two different Hebrew words for “lord” in the original. The first word is Yahweh, the Hebrew covenant name for God. The second is adoni, meaning “lord” or “master.” So, in Psalm 110:1, David writes this: “Yahweh says to my Adoni. . . .” To better understand Jesus’ use of Psalm 110:1, we’ll look at the identity of each “Lord” separately.
The first “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the eternal God of the universe, the Great I AM who revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3. This self-existent, omnipotent God speaks in Psalm 110 to someone else who is also David’s “Lord.”
The second “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the Messiah, or the Christ. Psalm 110 describes this second “Lord” as follows:
● He sits at God’s right hand (verse 1)
● He will triumph over all His enemies and rule over them (verses 1-2)
● He will lead a glorious procession of troops (verse 3)
● He will be “a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek” (verse 4)
● He will have divine power to crush kings, judge nations, and slay the wicked (verses 5-6)
● He will find refreshment and be exalted (verse 7)
In Matthew 22:44, Jesus unmistakably identifies the second “Lord” of Psalm 110:1 as the Messiah, and the Pharisees all agree that, yes, David was speaking of the Messiah. When David wrote, “The LORD says to my Lord,” he distinctly said that the Messiah (or the Christ) was his lord and master-his Adoni.
A common title for the Messiah in Jesus’ day was “Son of David,” based on the fact that the Messiah would be the descendant of David who would inherit the throne and fulfill the Davidic Covenant (see 2 Samuel 7). Jesus capitalizes on the Jewish use of the title “Son of David” to drive home His point in Matthew 22. “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, ‘What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?’ ‘The son of David,’ they replied. He said to them, ‘How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him “Lord”? For he says, “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’” If then David calls him “Lord,” how can he be his son?’” (Matthew 22:41-45).
Jesus’ reasoning is this: “Son of David” is your title for the Messiah, yet David himself calls Him “Lord.” The Messiah, then, must be much more than just a son-a physical descendant-of David. According to Psalm 110:1, this “Son of David” was alive during David’s time and was greater than David. All of this information is contained in the statement that “the LORD says to my Lord.” Jesus is David’s Lord; He is the Christ, the Jewish Messiah, and Psalm 110 is a promise of Jesus’ victory at His second coming.
Another important point that Jesus makes in Matthew 22 is that David wrote the psalm under the guidance of the Holy Spirit; David was “speaking by the Spirit,” Jesus says (verse 43). Clearly, Jesus taught the inspiration of Scripture. When David wrote, “The LORD says to my Lord,” he was recording exactly what God wanted him to write.
divine characteristics of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity.
This means the holy spirit is God, co-equal with God the Father and God the Son and is of the same essence. God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct from one another in terms of their personal relationship. But they are co-equally God, meaning they are all the being of God. In other words, they do not exist independently one from the other. So, you cannot remove one of the three persons of God and still have God as revealed in the Bible.
Here are a number of references that point to the Holy Spirit’s divine characteristics:
He’s called God (Acts 5:3-4).
He’s called the Spirit of God (Gen. 1:2; Judg. 3:10).
He’s considered God (Acts 28:25-27; 2 Cor. 6:16; Heb. 3:7-9).
He’s treated as equal to God the Father and Son (Matt. 3:16; 28:19; 1 Cor. 12:4-6; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 2:18; 4:4-6; 1 Pet. 1:2).
He’s eternal (Heb. 9:14).
He’s self-existent (Rom. 8:2).
He’s omnipresent (Psa. 139:7-8).
He’s omniscient (1 Cor. 2:10-11; John 14:26; 16:13).
He’s sovereign (Zech. 12:10).
He was involved with creation (Gen. 1:1-2).
He enabled the writing of the Bible (2 Pet. 1:21).
He helps us to recognize the glory of God (2 Cor. 4:4).
He enables us to call upon Jesus as Lord (1 Cor. 12:13).
Make no mistake, the holy spirit is so much more than an it or impersonal force-he’s God.
God-as revealed in the Bible-is one and eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From what we see above, this means each person within the Trinity shares the same divine attributes. In other words, one person within the Trinity is not more God than the other.
Know what else?
The Holy Spirit is more than a force-He’s a Person.
11 personal characteristics of the Holy Spirit
As the third member of the Trinity, the holy spirit is a person and is also personal.
We see this in a few different ways.
First, in the Old and New Testament books the Holy Spirit is referred to as “he,” and throughout the New Testament, he’s referred to as a person (John 6:63; 14:26; Rom. 8:11, 16, 26; 1 John 5:6). What we’ll see in the references below, the Holy Spirit can be grieved, resisted, and even insulted. An impersonal force cannot do these things. Only a person can.
Second, before ascending to heaven, Jesus said he was going to send the Holy Spirit to be a counselor like him (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit is also capable of teaching (Luke 12:12). Unlike gravity-an impersonal force-that can neither counsel nor teach people, the Holy Spirit can do both.
In these two ways, we can see that the Holy Spirit is WAY more than a force-he’s the third member of the Trinity.
To place a nice bow on this topic, here are multiple references to the characteristics of the holy spirit:
He’s referred to as a Person (John 6:63; 14:26; Rom. 8:11, 16, 26; 1 John 5:6).
He speaks (2 Sam. 23:2; Acts 1:16; 8:29; 10:19; 11:12; 13:2; 21:11; 28:25-26; 1 Tim. 4:1; Heb. 3:7-8; Rev. 2:7; 14:13; 22:17).
He witnesses (John 15:26).
He searches (1 Cor. 2:11).
He can be grieved (Isa. 63:10; Eph. 4:30).
He loves (Rom. 15:30).
He has a mind (Rom. 8:27).
He has intelligence (1 Cor. 2:10-11).
Generation can mean RACE. Noah was perfect in his Generation...Adamic...White Race.
It means that we are living in the post-mellinoal rein. In the short season.
Very good presentation. Here is my careful conclusion on this study, that just expands on view 1:
It seems that several passages tell us that Jesus’ coming will be seen by all.(not the Rapture, his second coming.) his coming initiates the celestial signs, the world will be in the prophesied conditions… and Jesus will take so long in arriving that the people seeing his coming (apparently like an asteroid in clouds) that they will begin to wonder if their generation will die off before he makes it to earth. He promised that they wouldn’t.
We have to read the whole gospel in its context. Matthew 16: 27 and 28. Christian’s will always find a way to defend scripture. Did Jesus walk on water or did he sink in the waves? We He misses a prophecy it was for another generation not the one He was currently living in.
"Jesus son of god" vs "Jesus himself god" itself has been subject of intense debate UP UNTIL NOW!
wake up! You have insulted Jesus! you better apologize
Notably, the verse immediately following the one in question reads: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." It could be argued that Jesus was not talking about the near future and soon-to-be witnessed events. Maybe He was referring to the post-flood generation. He did mention the times of Noah several times in the preceding and subsequent verses.
So many go for the wise man aproch and add more then what is said. The same exact people are here now, the end of the age. All must die in Christ and all must come though fire and water. All souls that existed pre-Jesus have to die in Jesus. Jesus is now currently preaching to those who died in which 8 souls are saved. The 7 churches+1 Islam/watchers, were saved and brought back to die in Christ. Ezekiel 37 clearly outlines reincarnation and yet so many call the Bible a lie and profess it is truth. Judisum is hell, and a dead religion Jesus the word of God, OT, died and Christ the spirit rose. Christians have such a little god, a jeleous god.
All sins for all time for everyone has been forgiven.
church brings the knowledge of good and evil and condemns the world with that. Seems directly opposite of Jesus' teachings, he only condemned the church.
Makes perfect sense if ... 'THAT generation..... '
As birth pangs come on increasingly, these events will begin to occur more and more quickly.
Daniel 12:4 was fulfilled in Rev 22:10, the Angel told John not to seal the prophecy because the time is near. It was that generation. Jesus instructed to write it and send to 7 churches that exist John's time, not our time nor future. It's finished. We are now on the New Earth following the New Covenant. The knowledge of Good and Evil is still there even satan and his angels no longer present.
Pretty much we are at the early generation of the endless generations since it doesn't mention anywhere "Final" or "Last" judgment day.
Thanks you're as clear as mud, I can hardly wait for you to explain why Jesus never wrote ANYTHING, was jesus illiterate ??
It's nothing new that christians have to try to make up excuses on why their imaginary messiah failed so badly with this. It's notable that Paul evidently has no idea jesus supposedly makes this promise at all, since that would have put quite a pinch on his claims.
I've made up my own bit of nonsense to "explain" why jesus has never come back. In the bible it says that a thousand days is a day to this god. So, if jesus is god, and he claimed that he'd be back within a generation, that would be anywhere between 20-40 years. If each day of those years is a 1000 years, at best ol' JC will be back in around 7.3 million years.
We don't know what He meant by it. He could have meant that current generation of people he was referring to or he could have been referring to the generation that comes after Israel is brought back from the sword. A generation is approx 20-30 years. Some say 50 years. Either way, a generation has passed on both accounts so we really don't know.
Israel become a nation in 14th May 1948. One generation lives to 70 or 80 years. So Lord Jesus will come before 2028.
The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling,
4 And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai,
[And appear from His camp]
And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens.
5 And all shall be smitten with fear
And the Watchers shall quake,
And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth.
6 And the high mountains shall be shaken,
And the high hills shall be made low,
And shall melt like wax before the flame
7 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder,
And all that is upon the earth shall perish,
And there shall be a judgement upon all (men).
8 But with the righteous He will make peace.
And will protect the elect,
And mercy shall be upon them.
And they shall all belong to God,
And they shall be prospered,
And they shall all be blessed.
And He will help them all,
And light shall appear unto them,
And He will make peace with them'.
9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones
To execute judgement upon all,
And to destroy all the ungodly:
And to convict all flesh
Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed,
And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
[Chapter 2]
1 Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not change their orbits, and the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and 2 transgress not against their appointed order. Behold ye the earth, and give heed to the things which take place upon it from first to last, how steadfast they are, how none of the things upon earth 3 change, but all the works of God appear to you. Behold the summer and the winter, how the whole earth is filled with water, and clouds and dew and rain lie upon it.
[Chapter 3]
Observe and see how (in the winter) all the trees seem as though they had withered and shed all their leaves, except fourteen trees, which do not lose their foliage but retain the old foliage from two to three years till the new comes.
[Chapter 4]
And again, observe ye the days of summer how the sun is above the earth over against it. And you seek shade and shelter by reason of the heat of the sun, and the earth also burns with growing heat, and so you cannot tread on the earth, or on a rock by reason of its heat.
[Chapter 5]
1 Observe ye how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear fruit: wherefore give ye heed and know with regard to all His works, and recognize how He that liveth for ever hath made them so. 2 And all His works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks which they accomplish for Him, and their tasks change not, but according as God hath ordained so is it done. 3 And behold how the sea and the rivers in like manner accomplish and change not their tasks from His commandments'.
4 But ye -ye have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the Lord,
But ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words
With your impure mouths against His greatness.
Oh, ye hard-hearted, ye shall find no peace.
5 Therefore shall ye execrate your days,
And the years of your life shall perish,
And the years of your destruction shall be multiplied in eternal execration,
And ye shall find no mercy.
6a In those days ye shall make your names an eternal execration unto all the righteous,
b And by you shall all who curse, curse,
And all the sinners and godless shall imprecate by you,
7c And for you the godless there shall be a curse.
6d And all the . . . shall rejoice,
e And there shall be forgiveness of sins,
f And every mercy and peace and forbearance:
g There shall be salvation unto them, a goodly light.
i And for all of you sinners there shall be no salvation,
j But on you all shall abide a curse.
7a But for the elect there shall be light and joy and peace,
b And they shall inherit the earth.
8 And then there shall be bestowed upon the elect wisdom,
And they shall all live and never again sin,
Either through ungodliness or through pride:
But they who are wise shall be humble.
9 And they shall not again transgress,
Nor shall they sin all the days of their life,
Nor shall they die of (the divine) anger or wrath,
But they shall complete the number of the days of their life.
And their lives shall be increased in peace,
And the years of their joy shall be multiplied,
In eternal gladness and peace,
All the days of their life
Well I still say: Jesus said "THIS GENERATION" I really can't see no way around it no matter how you or someone else try to explain it And Jesus did not say that last generation! So you need to stop adding to the word of God as the Bible warns us not to do.
Jesus answered their questions...The temple was destroyed ,the people of that time went through extreme hardships (mothers even ate their own babies.Sun moon stars is the same language used to describe the destruction of Babylon Is 13 :9-11.The only thing left that does not seem to fit is He has not returned yet.
He was referring to the generation that was involved in the fig tree coming back to life. The fig tree is Israel, the generation in view is the ww2 veterans. They are all about to vanish, pass away but 2030/31. So THAT is the timeline to the end of this age.
I believe in more than this place! Yet I believe the Bible contradicts itself! One the old testament says to fear not the new testament tries to fear you from the devil Satan Jesus and God! That dosent make any sense to me! Another the first commandment god says put no god or gods before me! So why do Christians put Jesus before God! They say in the new testament that Jesus wants you to be perfect for God! Yet God says he wants us to grow and learn and knows that perfection does not exist! He just wants us to do good! The Bible contradicts itself very badly this is why its hard to believe the both bibles! First Bible fear not 365 times! New testament fear everything lol not trying to put down people's beliefs yet I feel we all have the right to believe what we want to! Dosent this country say that we have the freedom of religion! One thing I know the Catholic religion is forced upon us in movie television music billboard signs! In my opinion fear spreading is being exampled to us on its highest levels since I've been alive!
There were a few more civilizations of humans on Earth before us. Jesus could be referring to the existing human civilization of today.
We are closer then we think. LGBT is in The Holy Bible as the churches will turn away from him and the world will turn away from Israel and they are God people
