The generation that witnessed the rebirth if Israel ended in 1988. Where is Jesus?

Question

Now some Christians are saying that the generational clock started when Israel recaptured Jerusalem in 1967. Well, that generation ends next year. If Jesus doesn't come back by then, what will be the next popular christian reinterpretation of that verse to keep people believing in biblical prophecy. The really Ironic thing is that verse was originally talking about a generation that ended almost 2000 years ago. Isn't this "Our generation is the last generation" game that Christians have played every generation for the last 2000 years to generate more profit fascinating?

kittens, a biblical generation is 40 years. Check out the Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey if you need that explained to you. It is the best selling biblical prophecy "non-fiction" book of the 20th century. Yes, Israel was reborn LAST century. But since you said "WTF", you obviously aren't even a christian, so it probably doesn't even matter to you.

Answer 1

That is an excellent question. I have often wondered the same thing. When I was young, my mother would tell me that the end of the world is coming and I have to be ready, because her mother told her it was so. My family has the same "generation" thing going on, how 'you are the last generation before God comes' thing. I remember that always pissed me off as a kid because I would never have a chance to grow up and have kids, go to college, anything that I wanted to do. But as darkangel said, I think every religion has the same thing, except for maybe Buddhism.

Answer 2

this is basically between the enormous methods reported contained in the e book of Isaiah in numerous places besides as contained in the e book of Daniel that say in regards to the destiny. God states that ISRAEL itself will develop right into a clean united states of america returned. And in that comparable fact He says that a minimum of a million individual would be alive that witnesses it (definite in 1948 it befell) so definite. we are maximum honestly contained in the tip DAYS. yet another place it says is that the ROMAN EMPIRE worldwide places gets back mutually. it ought to have as much as 13 worldwide places in it, then decrease down into 10 worldwide places. in many places for the duration of the Bible, old & NEW testomony factors of the Bible it says approximately GOD coming back & "Re-commencing" Isreal into its very own united states of america & GOD the daddy says that it heavily isn't taken faraway from there after it comes back. What GOD the daddy says is regulation no longer in hassle-free terms a literal "fact" alongside with stand human beings make.

Answer 3

When Christ was asked when He would return HE said only his father knew. If Christ did not know when He would return , then how does a mortal man know. Yes the return of Jerusalem to the Jews is a sign of His coming but that is only one.The temple on the hill of Jerusalem is still in the hands of Muslims.This to is only one sign. We should live our lives as if Christ was coming tomorrow.

Answer 7

I believe that once we arrive at that point wherein they shall say “Peace and safety” (1 Thess.5:2-3 below) that then we will have the “sudden destruction” that will occur at the Sixth Seal (Re.6:12-17, Lk.17:24, Lk.21:34, Joel 1:15, Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, Isa.2:19, Isa.13:6-11 below).


1 Thess.5:2For yourselves know perfectly that the DAY (Lk.17:24, Lk.21:34, Joel 1:15, Joel 2:31, Re.6:17 below) of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night (Matt.24:42, Matt.24:44 below).

1 Thess.5:3For 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.

Matt.24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Matt.24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Lk.17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his DAY (Re.6:17 below) .

Lk.21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that DAY come upon you unawares.

Joel 1:15Alas for the day! For the DAY of the LORD [is] at hand (Joel 2:31 below), and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come (Isa.13:6, 9 below).

Joel 2:31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, belore the great and the terrible DAY (Re.6:17 below) of the Lord come.

Acts 2:20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE that great and notable DAY (Re.6:12 below, Joel 2:31 above) of the Lord come:

Isa.2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty (Re.6:16 below), when he ariseth TO SHAKE TERRIBLY THE EARTH.

Isa.13:6Howl ye; for the DAY of the Lord is at hand (Re.16:17, Acts 2:20, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7, Joel 1:15); it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

Isa.13: 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt (Re.6:15-16 below):

Isa.13: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. (Lk.21:26).

Isa.13:9Behold, the DAY of the Lord cometh (1 Thess.5:2 above), cruel both with wrath and fierce anger (Re.6:17 below, Isa.13:6 above), to lay the land desolate (Re.6:14 below): and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it (Re.6:15-16 below).

Isa.13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine (Re.6:12 below).

Isa.13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.


Re.6:12And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31 above);

Re.6:13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Re.6:14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6 below) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19).

Re.6:15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8 above);

Re.6:16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17 below):

Re.6:17For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?
