That's very interesting. Never heard this application before, and it's highly credible in light of Greek usage.
Where did you get it, Enoch, if I might ask?
It's a common dispie argument, when they're not lying about the meaning of "this", that Jesus meant the Jewish race when he said, "this generation." ("This" means that which is present, not something far away. "This generation" necessarily means Jesus' generation.)
Rule #1, everything Dispies say is a lie.
From "this generation" generation is the Greek word is γενεὰ, used always to mean a generation. "Generation" maybe used sort of as a race (1Pet2:9) is γένος, used to mean a kind. A race is a kind, but race is not at all the inherent meaning in γένος.
Remember rule #1, everything Dispies say is a lie.
Strong's combines γενεὰ and γένος in the same entry. And the definition Strong's provides is "metaphorically, a race of men very like each other in endowments, pursuits, character." So, γένος doesn't mean race. The word is used metaphorically to mean men who are similar to each other, of the same kind.
Dispies lie about he meaning of "this" and the meaning "generation" in "this generation." They lie about what Strong's says. They lie about the whole conversation Jesus had with his disciples:
The disciples asked when the Temple would be destroyed. Jesus answered before their generation dies off. In fact, the temple was destroyed in 70 AD, before their generation died off. The dispy who redefine "generation" as race would have Jesus answer "Before the Jewish race dies off." That's not an answer. When is that? And, after the "Jewish race" dies off, the Temple would have no relevance, so it wouldn't matter.
Do you still remember rule #1, everything Dispies say is a lie.
Jews aren't a race, in spit of Dispy claims. Jews are people who practice Judaism (the chief and universal doctrine modern so-called Judaism is the rejection of Jesus as Christ). Still, same difference, if there are no Jews, then there's no one to use the Temple.
Contrary the the claims of Dispies, Jews became extinct around 70 AD. Since the Temple's destruction, no one practices Judaism (BTW, Judaism doesn't require a temple.)
If we go with the irrelevant definition of Jew, a physical ancestor of Jacob (or, specifically Jewdah). These Jews are also extinct. Mathematically, practically everyone on the planet today has some of Jacob's blood in them. But, not a single person on the planet can demonstrate Jacob is their ancestor. After the Temple's destruction, all the Jewish genealogies were lost.
Finally, having Jacob as an ancestor doesn't make anyone one of God's people. People have been of God now and through all history only by faith, including in all the Old Testament teaching. All of Dispy doctrine is a lie, of the most satanic nature.
