If this word is not also for us then why is it in the New Testament?
Matt. 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
It is ridiculous to say that this verse was fulfilled at the time that generation passed away.
Matt 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
It is ridiculous to say that this verse was fulfilled at the time that generation passed away.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
No days were shortened and there never was a risk that no flesh would be saved during that generation.
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
It is ridiculous to say that this verse was fulfilled at the time that generation passed away.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
So then look at how ridiculous are those who say "all these things were fulfilled 2,000 years ago.
The context of Matthew 24
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
