If this were true, then either one might consider either 40 years or 70 years after 1948 might be candidates for confirmation. But using a actuary table for a random year, and for a random nation would seem contrived. So let me ask, are you using the acturary table for Israel, and if so, is this table from either 1948, or possibly 1967, or is it projected to your postulated future date of Jesus' return? -- Or is it last year's, this year's, next year's, or some other point which is subject to the whim of your calculation requirement? And if your calculation is so susceptible to such variables, do you provide a confidence factor in your presentation?
Or better yet, do you prefer your own imagination over what Scripture has already provided?
BibleScribe
Forty and seventy years were fine "back in the day". It isn't true in today's world.
Fact is, Christ knew beforehand, that people would be living to well-over 100 years in the ET's. He had to have....
And that should be accounted-for in this generation. When Christ uttered his fig tree parable, he knew then
that the generation he said "
would not pass", would be the ET's generation of people who live to well-over 100 years.
THIS is just common sense.
With that said, a more appropriate "generational average" should be used to calculate an approximate time of the start of the end events.
Besides, I did not set 84 years as that "generational average"....scripture and godly numbers did. The no. 84 was just the result.
And frankly, if you are 84 at the start of the end events, and there is a period of 8 years to finished fulfillments, then your age would be 84 + 8 = 92 years old....well within a generational life expectancy of an ET person born in 1948.
BTW, establishing a date of start for the end events has nothing whatsoever to do with generaltional averages, of 40, 70 of even 84 years. It has everything to do with a start date for the generation and an end date for the generation based on the greatest life expectancy of a person born in 1948. With that said then, if you were born in
1948 and you were the last person on earth to be alive from that generation, and you were 110 years old at your death, then the year you died would be
2058. So,
110 years would be the number of years assigned to "
this generation" that "
shall not pass". Again, this has nothing to do with an average life expectancy.
