Will this Generation see the End of the Age? (merged)

[Buzzardhut]

I agree - The argument Lindsey et al give for a pre-trib rapture is that the above discourse is a programme of events, thus making it possible to anticipate the rapture, which contradicts the requirement to expect the Lord at any moment. nope
we expect the Lord at the rapture :thumb


So the answer for pre-tribbers (and that is the flavor of this site) is the 2nd coming. For post tribbers there isn't really a difference as far as I can tell.the answer is expect the Lord at the rapture or Second Coming, or even sooner in personal death.

I wonder who will be the last person saved b4 the rapture.

What if a generation is not a time frame or a certain amount of years, like 70 or 80 years. What if what Jesus was talking about was a "race" when He said, "This generation shall not pass until all these things be fulfilled." My dad and I had a discussion and he loves Jesus as much as I do, and he is just as excited about the Rapture as I am. He jokes with the Lord, "Lord, you're late!" He knows God's timing is perfect, and he knows Jesus has a sense of humor. But, what if we can't nail a time on Jesus's return. My dad said, "Jesus could tarry another 20 or 30 years," which I don't want Jesus to tarry. I wish He would come now, and like my dad said, "Jesus, you're late!" I said, "Dad, what about all the birth pains, the earthquakes, the setting up of the one world government, etc." He said, "I know... I know. But only the Father knows and His timing is not our timing." It's hard to hear that when I want it so bad. I wonder what Jesus meant by the budding of the fig tree and about when the generation that sees the budding of the fig tree will not pass away but see all these things fulfilled. Could this be the generation of Israel today? Could it be the generation of Jews that did see Israel become a nation, and that they would not die or parish and they would see all these things fulfilled? How do we know what a generation is? I wonder if God put Psalm 90 in the Bible to tell us what a generation is, no? I ask these questions to see what the rest of the Body of Christ thinks. I sure hope that Jesus won't tarry another 5, 10, 15, 20 years. I pray He is closer than we think. Mods, I hope this is in the right area. I see all the birth pains getting closer together and quicker... How soon are You coming, Lord Jesus? Please come get us NOW! Maranatha!:pray

I honestly don't believe it is a set number of years. That would give the dragon too much of a set time clock.

I believe its literal. Someone who was alive when Israel was born will see the Second Coming. That means we leave at least 7 years prior.

We be poofed!

Well, the Rapture isn't dependent upon what a generation's length is, so we can go anytime.

:wave Jesus'sGirl

You know, I can't even go down this road of trying to understand it anymore :panic I've got threads all over the place asking about it and trying to grasp it.....

So, for my own peace of mind, I just simply ask that whatever a "generation" is, however long it is, whenever it begin or is to end..whoever is included in it......please, please, please just let it be us and let it be today.

I would like very much to go home now, and that's about as deep as I can get into it right now...:lol2

:hug

Exactly and from the looks of things and timing, the Second Coming will be in my lifetime (should I die of old age) which means we go 7 years before (that much sooner!!) :yeah

This is one time when I'd like to go early (not die, but be "poofed").
