Subject: This generation will not pass away.... |
Bible Note: 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 |
