Mark 13:30
To the question in all minds we immediately go. What does Jesus mean by saying that this generation would not pass before all of these things would be fulfilled? Well, it would be quite accurate to say that that current generation of Jews would not perish before the destruction of the temple.
So, it is good to keep Jesus’ words concerning ‘these things’ and ‘these days’ separate. However, as we have seen, there is some overlap in that there is duality in the fulfillment of this prophecy. The same could be true here because the term ‘generation’ could refer to the existence of the Jews as a whole. We would also have to agree with the truth of that.
As a result, it is best to see this as referring both to that current generation, and the existence of the Jews as a people. We know that there will still be Jews during the time of the end. We know that the Temple Mount will exist. We know that the Mount of Olives will exist. We know a lot becuase of what Jesus has told us in his Word.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the prophecy in your Word! It is a great comfort to my heart. You are truly great and powerful to know and plan the future. You are there already! Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
