Jesus was not giving a parable for the purpose of defining a generation. But how to know that His Return was near, and that all the things He spoke of in Matthew 24:15-31 would soon be fulfilled. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

"This generation" is the parable of the fig tree generation. Not the generation at which time Jesus spoke - or else there would be no need for the parable of the fig tree.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. The great tribulation will be...

Jesus did not just talk about Matthew 24:23-29, but also Matthew 24:30-31 - His return. Which was not fulfilled in the first century. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. The abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel...

No, I am saying that Jesus's return will be before the life expectancy of a specific generation is over. Jesus was not giving a parable for the purpose of defining a generation. But how to know that His Return was near, and that all the things He spoke of in Matthew 24:15-31 would soon be...

And I have shown you, repeatedly that Matthew 24:34 says "This generation shall not pass". Which has to do with the life expectancy of a specific generation. The parable is not about the definition of a generation. But the life expectancy of a specific generation at the time the fig tree...

You are very inept not to understand "This generation shall not pass" is referring to the life expectancy of a specific generation. The great tribulation will affect everyone on earth, not just the Jews. Jesus will return to end the great tribulation that is forthcoming. You are ignoring...

keras, Matthew 24:29 and Revelation 6:12-14 are such big events, I don't see how they could be separate. keras, they are the same effect in both Matthew and Revelation. How many times are you going to have the stars fall from heaven ? And the powers of heaven shakened ?

keras, we agree that the Great Tribulation involves the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bows. I am not saying that is what makes your scenario incorrect. What makes your scenario incorrect is that you are having the Matthew 24:29 begin before the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24:15. Here is what...

It is not just "generation" in Matthew 24:34. It is "this generation shall not pass". A generation does not pass, until the life expectancy is over. Have you never heard it said - that someone's relative "passed away" ? It means that they died, their life span, over. 34 Verily I say...

keras, you have Matthew 24:29 taking place before Matthew 24:15. That is the wrong chronological order.

child bearing age is one stage of a generation. You have never heard the terms "teenagers", "in their prime", "middle age", "old age" ? Those are all stages of a generation.

Jesus had already referred to the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel in Matthew 24:15. By which, in Daniel 12:11-12, the number of days from when the abomination of desolation is setup - exactly 1335 days would be to Jesus's return. So the parable would not be needed for the...

You are disregarding verse 32. 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: That verse denotes an early stage of what the fig tree represents. Jerusalem back in the hands of the Jews in 1967. The parable of...

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. No, not the commencement of the last days. But all the things that Jesus has just described, including His return. Matthew 24:15-30 is the time period of the great tribulation - that ends with...

Yes, the parable of the fig tree events culminate with Jesus's return. keras, in your 1948 + 80 years = 2028, how does your solar event/replacement of Israel/ by a Christian nation built in its place, then Gog/Magog, followed by the 7 year 70th week, then Armageddon, then Jesus's Second Coming...

I don't use interlinear bibles. And I am not familiar with them. My guess interlinear bibles are similar to commentary, but between the lines. I use the kjv bible.

Jesus's parable was not learn a parable of "a" tree, but of the fig tree, specifically. Do you hold a replacement theology position that the church has replaced Israel ? And therefore, you cannot accept that the fig tree represents either Israel or Jerusalem ? Based on what bible passage(s) ?

I looked up that strange saying. Teaching grandmother to suck eggs - Wikipedia Please, just apply the conventions I expressed in my post.

Matthew 24:20 is not about Christian keeping the Sabbath. 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: Jesus said that because the ones in Judaea should flee in verse 16 is referring to the Jews who, as part of their Sabbath day observance, are not allowed...
