[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 6068998, member: 65823"] Verse 34 takes care of it. What Jesus is talking about it has already happened. Do you see"this generation"? He is not talking about the second coming. He is talking about the destruction of Jerusalem that happened in 70AD. Notice the beginning of Matthew 24:3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” They ask him three separate questions. To be fair, they thought if the temple was going to be destroyed it would be the end of the world. Notice how Jesus shifts gears and answers their 3rd question.... Verse 36 "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." "that day" is not the day he has been talking about. "that day" there will be no warning, no signs, the world will be partying like in the days of Noah. Jesus didn't even know when he was coming back when he walked on the earth. A"thief in the night" V43 gives no warning or sign. But, he knew God's judgement was coming to Jerusalem for rejecting the Messiah. The warnings and signs were for those Jews who became Christians who were in Jerusalem. "when you see these things" know the Roman army is coming. Flee. Don't even go downstairs to get your belongings. Hope it's not in the winter(have you ever prayed the Lord doesn't come in the winter? I haven't ) It will be a hard for a nursing mothers to leave... all kinds of signs and warnings for "that generation who will see it." If one does not understand the "judgement language" in the verses before verse 34 , it doesn't matter. That generation, verse 34, seen it happen. We did not and will not. [/QUOTE]
