Subject: The second coming of Jesus |
Bible Note: Hi Darcy, ….Why does it matter if a generation is 40 years?… Because that is the time frame that Christ said he would be back. Though we don’t know the day or the hour, we can ball park to around 70 AD. ….The olivet discourse does not say anything about a generation being 40 years it states that it WILL NOT PASS AWAY!…. It wouldn’t pass away UNTIL all these things have happened. All those things happened in the first century, and remember Christ was telling this to his disciples, these were things that THEY were to look for. ….My Generation hasn't passed away yet…. True, but Christ was speaking about the generation of the 1 st century. “I tell you the truth, THIS generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” Either they did, or Christ lied or erred. It’s quite simple. I know it’s different then the traditions you’ve been taught, but we must turn authority over to the Bible. The Bible states Christ will be back in 40 years. Tradition says “Whenever!” I personally go with the Bible. Take care, SUEDE |
