IMO When in Mt 24:34 Jesus says this generation shall not pass away He refers to the generation that witnesses the rebirth of national Israel. This in effect says that at least one person who was alive on 11/18/1948 will live to experience either the rapture or Jesus' return or both.
Jewish flesh has nothing to do with salvation. The Son of man said of his own flesh it profits for nothing. The refomation has come.
It is not a sign we are to seek after. No one knows the day,hour, year or century. But it is a sign of observing as it happens, the goal of the sign is the end of the corrupted world which God corrupted in the beginning..
The sign has been occurring, many have come in His name, saying, they are the Christ; and have been deceiving many. And we have been hearing of wars and rumors of wars: for all these things must come to pass, but the
end is not yet. Some are hoping his coming and the end of the world are two events and not one twinkling of the eye event .
Just as in the day of Noah everything is going as normal then comes sudden destruction the end of the world the last day , the same day Christ comes to give us our new bodies establishing the new heavens and earth.
It’s an evil generation (the generation of Adam) natural man that does walk by sight seeking after sign before they will commit faith(belief) before they will believe. He has told us before it happens he will come as a thief in the night. We walk by faith and not by sight.
.
Again “this generation” is the generation of natural unconverted man the generation of Adam they will be here until the end of time when the Sun and Moon are no longer needed as time keepers and then the end will come as the generation of Christ ( the new creature) is given their new incorruptible body.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,
till all be fulfilled.
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.For yourselves know perfectly that
the day
of the Lord so cometh as
a thief in the night.For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.But ye, brethren,
are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 1Th 5:1
Because we have been informed by faith that there is a God whom the world believes not(fools) whenever the sudden destruction comes we will not be surprised but changed into the new incorruptible.
The thief in the night and the end of the world will both happen in the twinkling of the eye.
But the
day of the Lord will come as a
thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2Peter 3:10
The day of the Lord, is the last day, the end of the generation of Adam the evil generation that do seek after a sign will pass away .
Not two different events with a thousand literal years between .But again in the twinkling of the eye all will receive the promise of their new incorruptible bodies..
