There has been much speculation made about Matt. 24: 32-36 and what does it really mean.... especially, the starting point for this "generation".... Some say it is May 1948...... Some say it is June 1967 ..... I have seen good arguments for both "starting dates"..... But the best article I have seen covering this topic is from Chuck Missler (sure going to miss him ) Take a look at His Article And then let us talk about what "This Generation shall not ...." means in regards to the timing of the end day events......

Somewhere I saw a list of when area nations became countries. They are compared to the other trees that begin leafing out before the fig tree which is last. I tend to think it is 1948 and a generation is 70-80 according to the verse in Psalms.
I am not sure which countries were included, but: Turkey, 1923, Iraq 1932, Lebanon 1943, Syria and Jordan 1946 I also don't think there will be a big space between the rapture and the start of the 70th week. I have no Scripture to support this other than the fact that there is the Church and there are Tribulation saints. What would a group in the space of 30 years, for example, be? For example, if someone becomes a believer right after the rapture and dies in a car accident 5 years later. They aren't part of the church because it's been raptured, but they aren't a martyr or a Trib saint.

I think the statement is exactly what it says.
The generation of people during the onset of the 1st seal will not prevent that same generation from completely expiring till all things are accomplished.
Example: Todd is born in 2030. Along with Todd, 100,000 other babies are also born in the year 2030 all over the world. Those children of that generation and perhaps generations surrounding them +/- 2 will see all the things Christ mentioned. It doesn't mean Todd will see. He might not make it past the 3rd seal. But the entire generation, it will not expire till all things have been done.
my 2 cents

But the best article I have seen covering this topic is from Chuck Missler (sure going to miss him ) Take a look at His Article And then let us talk about what "This Generation shall not ...." means in regards to the timing of the end day events...... I used to watch a lot of Chuck's videos, he seemed to be an all around good guy. In my studies on Matt. 24 it seems to me I looked for every sign (seems I came up with 15) and that I meshed it with the parable of the fig tree verses of 32-34 as per when the generation would start. In other words I took that generation as having to have seen every sign because of verse 33. (Of course they weren't around for the early signs like the Temple's destruction, but the "knew of them" via history, so they have understood via history, thus seen all the signs, if that makes sense) Matt. 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see ALL THESE THINGS, know that it is near, even at the doors. And the very last signs happen during the tribulation period in vs. 29, the sun is darkened, the moon gives not her light and the stars fall from heaven, and that just so happens to be Seal #6. So to my thinking the generation that sees ALL OF THESE THINGS has to be the generation born when the tribulation period comes upon the world, and since I see the Church as being raptured before this comes to pass, the generation being spoken of has to be about the Jewish saints primarily. So I guess I am saying there is no event that can start a 70 year countdown, because some of the events/signs have to occur during the tribulation period itself. Of course people living during the tribulation period would indeed qualify to be of "THAT GENERATION".

The Revelation of God incarnate as Jesus Christ.The videos seemed to have really dried up from my point of view. Maybe the composite beast has found a way to sabotage my automated search results. Maybe i need a cable modem that rotates it's IP address. So many of the video authors seemed to have thrown in the towel. I remember Rene Moses had the Joel 2:31 verse on the display about the sun will be turned into "darkness". But she kept reciting the actual word Jesus used in Matthew 24:29, will be "darkened". I think turned into DARK-NESS is different than to be merely "dark-end. One is a TOTAL eclipse BEFORE, the other is a partial eclipse "immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days. I remember reading one of the luminaries here saying that the partial eclipses were unimportant. But i still think that the partial is the biggie, and also the moon not giving it's light on Martin Luther Junior King Day. They don't make em like that anymore. I don't know what's going to happen next. But i'll go out on a limb and say that i have a feeling that the day of the actual second coming is closer than we think, it's just around the corner. www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2019-january-6www.timeanddate.com/countdown/eclipse?iso=20190106Let every heart, Prepare Him room.
