In Luke 21, is there possibly a generation change,
at the end of line 24,
Luke 21:20 And
when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,
then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then
let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
and let them which are in the midst of it depart out;
and let not them that are in the countries enter
thereinto.
22 For
these be the days of vengeance, that all things which
are written may be fulfilled.
23 But
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that
give suck, in those days! for there shall be great
distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And
they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be
led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall
be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of
the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Doesn't the "until the times of the Gentiles
be fulfilled", imply that there will be a period
of time,
from
70 AD until the time of the return of Jesus?
The generation that saw 70 AD only were given
one sign, the sign of the prophet Jonas.
But the generation at the end will be given
more signs:
Luke 21:25 And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and
in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking
after those things which are coming on the earth: for
the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Matthew 24:30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
This refers back to what I was wondering
about, last week:
