Bible prophecies

[Jenny A]

What you are saying is disingenuous. It's like Clinton and the definition of "is". Any ordinary reading of the Bible leads to the conclusion that Jesus meant his own generation. Everything else is a weird stretch.

Then why didn't He say 'my generation' or 'our generation', or 'your generation'? He said 'this generation'. I'm not seeking to define the word 'this' I'm seeking to qualify 'this generation'.

I speak of this generation and our generation pretty indiscriminately. When I say "this" (or any other pronoun) you should look to see what the antecedent noun is. There is no other antecedent but the people listening too him. So they are who he meant. If you doubt it look at some other verses:

Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.

Matthew 16:28

And He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power.

Mark 9:1

But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.

Luke 9:27

Or are you going to argue "some" meant some other people somewhere else?
