Nothing you said contradicts this truth or makes me think otherwise.Mike Vlachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901564537165580259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666049145812503636.post-24807354727878141822017-04-02T13:42:39.656-07:002017-04-02T13:42:39.656-07:00You err.

There is not even an implication of what you said. This generation clearly teaches that generation to whom our Lord was speaking. There simply is no other way to interpret the text. Jesus said on trial to Caiaphas in Mark 14:62 62. (See also Matthew 26 if you think the you refers to a future Israel. It refers to one man, Caiaphas)<br />And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” <br />There just is no other context for these passages other than Jesus was referring to the destruction of Jerusalem. He may not have know the exact time, but he certainly was clear on the the vents and the generation to whom the judgment was coming.
