Bible Question: Jesus talks of the end of the age but when he it comes into Mark chap13:30 he says I tell you the truth,this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.What I understand is that all the prophesies made by Jesus will come true before this generation comes to an end,but why does he say this generation?We are sure that his generation(the people of that time)has passed away thousands of years ago.But the world did not end in that age,so what does he mean by saying this generation.The same passage can also be seen in Luke 21:32. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Rexy! Welcome to the forum! Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown make the following statement: "Whether we take this to mean that the whole would be fulfilled within the limits of the generation then current, or, according to a usual way of speaking, that the generation then existing would not pass away without seeing a begun fulfillment of this prediction, the facts entirely correspond. For either the whole was fulfilled in the destruction accomplished by Titus, as many think; or, if we stretch it out, according to others, till the thorough dispersion of the Jews a little later, under Adrian, every requirement of our Lord’s words seems to be met." The hyper-dispensationalist interpretation of "this generation," taken in context, does not represent a sound exegesis of these passages. In Him, Doc |
