chapter...
Here is the context from the KJV (if you use a different version, I'll
quote that instead).
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.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they
shall
gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the
other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near,
even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these
things
be fulfilled.
Jesus is clearly prophesizing the 2nd coming and he said it will happen
in "this generation". Either the 2nd coming has happened already or
he was wrong. Which is it?
____________________________________________________________________
I'll say it again read the whole chapter. He also said that the sun would be
darkened.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near,
even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these
things
be fulfilled.
First of all the T in this is lowercase. I use the NIV, ASV, NKJV, and the
KJV. I also have been known to go back to the origional greek and hebrew
from time to time. Any version you will understand, using the simple
rudimentry reading skills that you learned in fourth grade (I hope), that
Christ was speaking of the generation that sees those things come to pass
that he mentions. He was saying that it was comming soon. He could not say
when as he did not know.
So the second comming did not happen and neither was he wrong. Read it plain
and simple. I can see how you might be decieved. I encourage you to read the
whole Bible, and understand jewish history. Also read Revelation,
Philipeans, Romans and Corinthians in particular. If you want me to pester
you more concerning this, i will gladly come pound down this wall of
disbelieve also. I have been praying for you. Who knows, you may never come
to see the Truth, now when you see God on his judgement seat, you cannot say
you were never told...
