Bible Question:
In Luke 21:32 I understand that Bible scholars have different opinions as to what Jesus was referring to here as "this generation". But in the Amplified version of the Bible it says: "Truly I tell you, this generation (those living at that definite period of time) will not perish and pass away until all has taken place." I looked up "generation" in a Greek lexicon and not being a Greek/biblical scholar, still seem to find that you could interpret that Greek word "geneav" to not mean "at that definite period of time"...which makes me wonder about the Amplifed version--how do they decide how to interpret certain words/passages such as here?? |
Bible Answer: Hi Heidibelle 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. Vintage68 |
