"This" is a demonstrative pronoun used in the present tense in the scripture in question.
Jesus provides us with ample evidence of where he used present tense demonstrative pronouns. An example is found at Mat 26:39: "....if it be possible let this cup pass...." Jesus uses the same demonstrative pronoun in the present tense - he was not speaking about any future cup or a cup that overlaps he was speaking of his present condition.
If it was future then why not use a pronoun to compliment the subject and put it in context such as "there" - "There will be a generation, and this generation will be no means...."
The Writing Department evidently threw away all the great grammar books they had.
