What did Jesus mean by "this generation"

by Fisherman in

what did jesus mean by "thisgeneration" ?.

34 truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

in all 4 gospels, every time that jesus said "this generation" he was refering to his contemporaries, the people that lived in his time.

Leolia,

"this generation" certainly means the generation of Jesus day You also seem to say that it parallels Judgement day. That is what the wts teaches, a double fulfilment.

In Jesus day this generation proved to be about 70 years from his birth or 40 years after his minstry. (If he is the reference point).

"this generation" may also have a double fulfilment if all other parts of the prophecy also have multi fulfilments or 'this generation" part of the prophecy may only have the first centtury fulfilment single fulfilment.

I am considering a lot of diferent perspectives(Joseph Malik) that I never saw before from the posters here. But I would like to hear and simply put what does "this generation" mean in math 24:34

Jc, it is an assumption that the signs given by Jesus in his prophecy occur in chronological order. Even 1914 has been chalenged remarkably on this forum. Russel believd that the end should have come in 1914, when it did not, Pastor Russel changed it to the beginning of the end. The end has been comming ever since. Generartion has transformed it self to many meanings.

Jc, Jesus said that the world would behold him no more. Since Jesus gaave his flsh and blood as ransom, how could he return in the flesh?

I see the wts new definition of generation. I id not quite see it before. They are saying that the generation means the annointed on earth who will not die off unyil the end comes. I have to read the article to follow their thinking.

Intesteresting view Josephmalik but a genration that spans thouands of years is not consistent with the way the Bible uses the word generation. It seems to me that a generation means people living at a particular point in time, for example the generation of Jesus age, but I woud like to hear more support on your view.

The end did not come in the first century though.

Truly I say to YOU that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

In all 4 Gospels, every time that Jesus said "THIS GENERATION" he was refering to HIS contemporaries, the people that lived in his time. Logically and consistently with the other instances where Jesus used the term 'this generation"in other verses, Jesus apparantly must have meant the same when he said "this generation" in Mathew 24:34.

COMPARE

With whom shall I compare this generation? It is like young children sitting in the marketplaces

A wicked and adulterous generation keeps on seeking for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jo´nah... rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it;

will be raised up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Sol´o·mon

That is how it will be also with this wicked generation

O faithless and twisted generation

YOU murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly I say to YOU, All these things will come upon this generation.

Again, the ONLY logical conclusion based on the context in which Jesus always used generation is that Jesus meant HIS generation in Math 24:34.

However, IF all aspects of this prophecy have double fulfilments, then consistently, the this generation part of the prophecy must also have double fulfilment also having similar application and meaning.

What is the meaning of "this generation" as it applies to the double fulfilment?
