He meant it, Nehemiah6. You know it for sure because Matthew 24.34 also contains: "Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place." He said "this generation," which makes me wonder if it is more than just John that He is keeping alive until He returns.
what if Gods term “generation “ doesn’t mean what we think of it as ?
what if it’s like this kind of term
“
This is the book of the generation of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;”
Genesis 5:1 KJV
what if God is saying Adam and all
His offspring were a generation of man and we here the story from Adam to Malachi of that generation of Adam
and then this is the generation he’s talking about not passing away the new generation of man that began with Jesus
“
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”
Matthew 1:1 KJV
You know how the Bible talks of two creations ? And two “first “men Adam and Jesus ?
What I’m asking is what if we’re thinking in mans terms of a generation but Gods speaking in his terms as a generation ? Like as in “ this generation of mankind will not pass away until all is fulfilled “
If this is what he’s saying then adams generation is why man fell into sin and the generation of Jesus Christ is how men become right with God being born again into a new generation of z gods children by the spirit
“Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after
the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Therefore as
by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; ( ot )
even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. ( nt)
For as by one man's ( adam) disobedience many were made sinners,
so by the obedience of one ( Jesus ) shall many be made righteous.”
Romans 5:14, 18-19
What if he’s talking about the generations of mankind and not generations within mankind is what I mean ?
