Peter being who he was to God, had to embrace Jesus totally, that's the lesson. once you take your eyes off Christ Jesus you are off track. it's all about the Holy Spirit to be your guide.
... for THIS generation? That's what it looks like from Luke's record.
Are YOU using your purse/bag/sword to "prepare" for two years from now (according to my best understanding) when we won't be able to buy or sell, -- or will you find yourself waiting for Jesus to supply your needs?

It's not me "guessing", it's based on Scripture. Apparently you aren't aware of the premise proposed by J.R. Church, (of the TV show "Prophecy In The News", and who "passed" about five years ago), in his 1985 book "Hidden Prophecies In The Psalms".
His viewers wrote in regarding this 19th Book of the Bible, which appears to be prophetic for the 1900's, Chapter for year, such that Book 19, Chapter 44 = 1944 Holocaust (see verses 11 & 22); Book 19, Chapter 48 = 1948 International Recognition of the State of Israel; etc. And the more you know about modern Jewish History, the more the Chapters align with the respective years.
But to your point, I also apparently won't have to worry about the near future. My wife tells me that Life is precious and that Jesus could come for me at any moment; and then she adds: ... if you don't knock it off. So whatever I'm doing, -- I stop.

Didn't like the book, but LOVED the premise. And I was able to independently validate the premise through the Daniel 9 prophecy, so the book is TRUE! In fact, given the Scholar's observations which Walvoord compiled in his book "Daniel, The Key To Prophetic Revelation", by Young, Keil, Kliefoth, and others, the Psalms premise is not only validated by the simple text, it's validated by the literal Hebrew textual inferences. That's a three fold confirmation.
You're citing a FALSE interpretation of the Daniel 9 "seventieth week", which has NOTHING to do with the Tribulation except that the destroyer "shall come" after the seventieth week. Rev. 13:5 says "42 months". And by all evidence we crossed the threshold into the tribulation exactly 70 years after Israel became a State, upon which anniversary Trump recognized Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, -- May 14, 1948 to May 14, 2018.

So I have no problem with the "Mark of the Beast" in the ~Spring of 2021~, and global thermonuclear war in the ~Fall of 2021~. But first we need to have Ezekiel 38 &39 and Daniel 11:40-44 this summer!
We'll soon see,

You're believing Jesus to be too much manIt ain't me that's saying things. You've confused what comes from the Pulpit as though it came from the Scriptures. I merely cited Scripture, including verse 9 in which AFTER Jesus died on the cross, GOD EXALTED HIS SON!
Philippians 2:8 And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,
"Therefore" is There For YOU!

Well it's true.
Friday's another day, unless it rains, -- then it's not Friday, because there's no rain forecast for Friday.
Hosea 6:1“Come, let us return to the Lord;
for he has torn, that he may heal us;
he has stricken, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
3 Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord;
his going forth is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth.”
Ummmmmmm, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any obvious association to the Tribulation.
Joel 2 (too long to post) clearly is an end-time prophecy.
Daniel 9: 7 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
This is a two aspect passage. The first half is the seventieth week which has already been fulfilled. The second half comes after the seventieth week, where the destroyer "shall come" and is destroyed. If properly rendered, the "semi colon" would be a "period", and the word "And" would be the start of a new sentence.
But that's what happens when Hebrew has no capitalization or punctuation.

You know, if you're interested in delving into the Daniel 9 seventy weeks, we could open a new Topic.
