I'm asking because without a good definition the prophesy is basically meaningless.
Full Definition Here
The original word for "this generation" is genea. Strong's concordance for this shows:
1) fathered, birth, nativity
2) that which has been begotten, men of the same stock, a family
a) the several ranks of natural descent, the successive members of a
genealogy
b) metaph. a group of men very like each other in endowments, pursuits,
character
1) esp. in a bad sense, a perverse nation
3) the whole multitude of men living at the same time
4) an age (i.e. the time ordinarily occupied be each successive generation), a
space of 30 - 33 years
If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
