Here it is in full context, and by the way, it's Luke 21 not 23.
Jesus had just finished describing to his disciples what the end of the world would be like.
What he means by "This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled" is that all those signs would occur within the lifetime of the generation that witness them.
read it again
Quote:Luke 21
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
it says that exactly, Also Jesus stated that the world would end when the gospel was preached to all the world. Did you think was expected to be accomplished within a generation?
Quote:
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
