Same in the OT.
Does not always have the meaning of those living at the time.

Psalms 112:2 KJV
(2) His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

These definitions apply to the Elect body of believers, saved by the grace of God, since the very first utterance of the Gospel message in Genesis 3:15.

This "church" is always the focus of the revelations of God and the purpose of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:28-39

You must have a very high opinion of yourself and your opinions? Would you say, every conclusion that you come up with is 100% right on the money?

This isn't just some random conclusion. This is at the heart of dispensationalism. It was a prediction (prophecy, even?) of those who founded it, and was hyped for decades after Israel became a nation. It's very credibility is founded in large part on this interpretation, similar to how JW credibility was founded on its 1924 and 1925 predictions.

So, while your efforts to minimize this problem is laudable, it doesn't fit the history.

So, you believe that we ought to just listen to your opinions only, correct?

You really should learn what a demonstrative adjective is.

If you prefer Greek, there are no demonstrative adjectives in Greek. In the Greek to English transliteration, the word "this" is a pronoun and "generation" is the antecedent noun.

However, in the Greek to English transliteration, the phrase appears "generation this".

Whether Greek or English, Matt 24:34 clearly states that the generation of Jewish contemporaries of Jesus would not all pass away before the things listed prior to verse 34 took place.

No matter how hard you try, and no matter how hard you want the verse to say what you want, you can't make it say what it doesn't.

And what it says, proves your Dispensationalism wrong.

Check your verse numbers again toward the end. Did you write 24 for 34?

"You really should learn what a demonstrative adjective is"-Tellalie


Shut your condescending hypocritical mouth, anti-Semite, you alleged "the Greek" fraud, and your alleged expert in the rules, "nuances," of "the Greek," with your " really should learn what a demonstrative adjective is......demonstrative adjective is.If you prefer Greek, there are no demonstrative adjectives in Greek" scam.

Vs.

"Spelling was never one of my strong points."-anti-Semite, Jewish people/dispie hater Tellalie


Look at the above hypocrisy, and below, from this actress, whited wall, obsessed psychopath, habitual liar:

"The rules of grammar have to be thrown out the window.."-].."- stupid Tet. on TOL in the past

vs.

"I rarely correct or point out someone's grammer and/or spelling"-stupid Tet. on TOL


The punk can't even spell "grammar" properly, in English, and he is going to school us, on this "You really should learn what a demonstrative adjective is.If ou prefer Greek, there are no demonstrative adjectives in Greek. In the Greek to English transliteration"?


(He plagiarized that, as he knows no "The Greek," cannot speak/write/read/understand any such non existing "the Greek").

vs.

"You really should learn what a demonstrative adjective is"-anti-Semite, and "the Greek" fraud-ette

vs.

"No matter what you say or do, whether it's spelling, grammer, punctuation, etc. Johnny will try so hard to make you look like you aren't smart."-].."- stupid Tet. on TOL



vs.

-stupid Tet. on TOL, to a poster:


"Do you even understand the simple basics of grammer?"-stupid Tet.



You deceitful, hypocrite, obsessed, anti-semite/dispie hater, and "the Greek" fraud, scammer, plagiarizing/spamming anything, to allegedly disprove dispensationalism, and satisfy your psycho obsession.

"the Greek"-Tellalie scam

Identify this "the Greek," sweetie, as I've asked you, for 5 years.

I thought so-not a peep, you scammer, plagiarizer. There is no such thing as "the" Greek.

Fraud-ette.
