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.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
So I'd say Jesus is about 2000 years late.
So you're saying that the writer of Matthew, who was writing this gospel after the passing of the apostles generation, is saying that the world should have already ended? I really think that he would have to be smarter than that and make up something different. In Matthew 24 Jesus describes events that the people of that time will witness and his coming will occur before the end of that generation.
Good point, but when can we get a Bible that says what it means? Why does it say this generation instead of that generation?
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
