1 | This generation will not pass away.... | Bible general Archive 4 | eascusa | 214177 | ||
Matthew 24:34 It sais that this generation will not pass away until they see all that he said they will see which is the beginning pains of the time right before he comes. But they are of course not alive any more so they can't be there to see that. So what is Jesus meaning by "this generation will not pass away" etc. Does he mean all of mankind to be generations? |

Shalom Eascusa, Just my 2cents worth: I've always understood that verse to mean that the generation living when "these things" begin will not die out before the great tribulation is ushered in...:o) (This would be allowing 80-100years for a generation.) Cheri |

Shalom skccab, You are soooo right when you say, "I've always understood that verse to mean that the generation living when "these things" begin will not die out before the great tribulation is ushered in...:o)" But in light of these scriptures, which generation was Jesus speaking of? And why? Let scripture speak. John the Baptist spoke to them about the wrath to come. Jesus during his ministry spoke many times using the term "this generation" and what "they" were like. I have capitalized for emphasis. Matt.3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O GENERATION OF VIPERS, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matt.11:16 But whereunto shall I liken THIS GENERATION? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, Matt.12:34,39,41,42,45 34.) O GENERATION OF VIPERS, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 39.) But he answered and said unto them, AN EVIL AND ADULREROUS GENERATION seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 41.) The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE. 42.) The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, BELOLD, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. 45.) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. EVEN SO SHALL IT BE ALSO UNTO THIS WICKED GENERATION. Matt.16:4 A WICKED AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. Matt.17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. Matt.23:33,36 33.) Ye serpents, YE GENERATION OF VIPERS, HOW CAN YOU ESCAPE the damnation of hell? 36.) Verily I say unto you, ALL THESE THINGS SHALL COME UPON THIS GENERATION. Matt.24:34 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU Verily, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED. Mark 8:12,38 12.) And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth THIS GENERATION seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto THIS GENERATION. 38.) WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL BE ASHAMED OF ME AND OF MY WORDS IN THIS ADULTEROUS AND SINFUL GENERATION; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O FAITHLESS GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. Mark 13:30 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE DONE . Luke 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O GENERATION OF VIPERS, WHO HATH WARNED YOU TO FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME? Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of THIS GENERATION? and to what are they like? Luke 9:41 And Jesus answering said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. Luke 11:29-32,50,51 29.) And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, THIS IS AN EVIL GENERATION: THEY SEEK AFTER A SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN BE GIVEN IT, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30.) For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO THIS GENERATION. 31.) The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of THIS GENERATION, AND CONDEMN THEM: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. 32.) The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE. 50.) THAT THE BLOOD OF ALL THE PROPHETS, which was shed from the foundation of the world, MAY BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION, 51.) From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, IT SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION. Luke 17:25 BUT FIRST MUST HE SUFFER MANY THINGS, AND BE REJECTED OF THIS GENERATION. Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. food for thought:-() Vintage68 |

Hi Vintage68 There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the word Generation used in the Bible. We need to be careful to understand what it means in context because the term varies quite a bit from passage to passage and verse to verse. John Smith's Bible Dictionary Generation Genesis 2:4, "These are the generations," means the "history." 5:1, "The book of the generations," means a family register, or history of Adam. 37:2, "The generations of Jacob" equals the history of Jacob and his descendants. 7:1, "In this generation" equals in this age. Psalms 49:19, "The generation of his fathers" equals the dwelling of his fathers, i.e., the grave. Psalms 73:15, "The generation of thy children" equals the contemporary race. Isaiah 53:8, "Who shall declare his generation?" equals His manner of life who shall declare? or rather equals His race, posterity, shall be so numerous that no one shall be able to declare it. In Matthew 1:17, the word means a succession or series of persons from the same stock. Matthew 3:7, "Generation of vipers" equals brood of vipers. 24:34, "This generation" equals the persons then living contemporary with Christ. 1 Peter 2:9, "A chosen generation" equals a chosen people. The Hebrews seem to have reckoned time by the generation. In the time of Abraham a generation was an hundred years, thus: Genesis 15:16, "In the fourth generation" equals in four hundred years (comp. verse 13 and Exodus 12:40). In Deuteronomy 1:35 and 2:14 a generation is a period of thirty-eight years. |

Hi John "Matthew 3:7, "Generation of vipers" equals brood of vipers." Jesus was talking to the people present with Him, I would then say that they would fall into the catigory of the people in 24:34. His contemporaries. "24:34, "This generation" equals the persons then living contemporary with Christ." You have made the point, they were the contemporaries of Christ. All of the other verses that I listed, were to be able to see that both John, and Jesus were talking about, and to the people of that Generation, not to some generation in the far distant future, in particular us at the end of the age. All of the verses used are in context to the time of Jesus, they were also used by Him, about the Jews then living in Israel. So they should not to be confused with any other use of the word generation. Vintage68 |

Hi Vintage68 Most of the verses used make the point fairly well, but some are a little bit ambiguous. I don't see in Scripture or anywhere else that the Queen of the south or the men of Nineveh have risen up in judgment yet, but other than that it seems to make the point fairly well. There is still some debate about the time-line of some of the prophase however. Just my two cent's I don't like to be dogmatic about eschatology. There have been some very well respected and godly theologens through the ages, much smarter then me, by the way, that were dead wrong. :-) John |
