You are trying to gain understanding outside of the single verse parable prophecy and as such you are missing the time span indicated in the parable by linking to a word further down in the chapter as if that word is associated with the Parable of the Fig Tree. The meaning of the word generation is that it is referring to a very long period of time, probably around 1,000 plus years.

Shalom
That is assumption

I asked specifically for you to comment on Matt.24:32 and you commented on all the parables about fig trees and not on that one verse.

What I had posted previously is still correct: -


It seems to me that you have not learned the lesson from the fig tree as Christ was suggesting to the disciples to do when he told that one verse parable..

"Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

Shalom
You cannot separate the verse from the parable.

You cannot separate the verse from the parable.

So what you are telling me is that you have no idea about this one verse/line parable that Jesus told and that it is complete from the verses around it as to when the Summer harvest Season/age will begin. It usually is a sign of a "Know all" who only knows what he knows and has no knowledge about things outside of his knowledge.

Oh well, it only confirms what everybody knows about Core missing Issue member.
