Have you heard of the Legend of the Wandering Jew?
That is Christianity's attempt to explain away this unfulfilled prophecy of Jesus.
Just another nail in the coffin of the Bible's supposed infallibility ...

Great Question Sacolton!
I did a lot of research on this subject a few years back and came to the some of the same conclusion as Mary, Ultimate Reality, Logic and Bob1999.
Examine the research in chapter 8, note Page 174.

Thanks to The Sage.
Indeed, regardless of a person's faith in God or the Bible, these 1st century prophecies were due to be fulfilled in the 1st century.
For those that do believe in the bible, you will see that just as Christ promised, the events described in Matthew the 24th chapter were fulfilled. There is no future re-fulfillment of these events -- no secondary, larger fulfillment as the WTS describes it.
The idea that these events are just on the horizon for us, in modern times, is a religious ploy. To make us fear the future and align ourselves with the "religious authority" that "watches" and "warns" us that the end is around the corner.
The "end" came as promised for the Jewish system of things, the temple, and the Mosaic economy in 70CE.
If you want to know what bible prophecies have yet to be fulfilled, look to Revelation 20:7 and beyond.
Again, a person may or may not have faith in these things. Regardless, it is organized religion that is dependent on the mis-interpretation and incorrect timing of bible prophecies (including the incorrect dating of Revelation to 96CE). Such mis-interpretation allows the religious leaders to control the masses -- including the rank and file Witnesses.
