I've had the "lost in translation" defense thrown at me over Matthew 24:34. They claimed that "generation" had a hidden meaning which means "the Jewish people." So as long as there are Jewish people on the earth, then his prophecy about "this generation shall not pass until all these things be fulfilled" still holds. At least in fundies' minds.

I don't suppose you have any proof this spiritual world exists, do you?
