1967-29=1938 The time when Jews began to flee Germany started to be counted.
So the end is 2008.
Jesus Christ has returned.

Jesus Christ has returned.
Wow I haven't heard that one before.
Normally I would ask you where he is but Jesus tells us not to believe anyone who does tell us where he is , so I better not ask you.

Have you ever heard of anyone claiming that Jesus Christ has returned in the past?
Except for 70 AD.
Yes I have heard preterists claim Jesus came back in 70 ad , but once again I take heed of of the masters words and don't believe them.

Jesus has not returned yet. His return is described in Matthew 24:30.
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The generation of the apostles in the Olivet Discourse verses were about near term events, when the temple was destroyed.

There is no direct relation between Matthew 21:18-19 and Matthew 24:32-34. Jesus was not talking about "the fig tree generation" in Matthew 24:32-34. What He was saying in that passage is that when the generation comes that sees "all these things" occurring, then it will be known that His second coming is near. He indicated that is similar to how it can be known that summer is near when the fig tree's branches start to put forth leaves. That's it. Jesus was just illustrating how to know when His second coming is near and compared to how it can be known that summer is near. Jesus was not saying anything about Jerusalem or Israel there or about "the fig tree generation" or anything like that.
But the bible tells us where He is, so you don't believe that?
Jesus was talking figurative about people claiming someone else somewhere was Jesus

Coming in judgement is different than the second coming, Jesus was claiming a coming in judgement in 70 AD

In the OD, Christ said one generation would see all the things he described which included the second coming and gathing of the saints. No generation has seen all those things so it has not happened yet. Maybe in the current time or the future but not the past.
Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Correction I meant to say "But the bible tells us where He is, so you don't believe that?"
