If i'm not mistaken according to the revelations when Israel becomes a nation this generation shall not pass away. Well it's been almost 66 years since Israel become a state in 1948. I just don't see any events that's showing this prophecy to become true.

The generation that jesus was speaking to was his own generation.

Israel as a nation state is not Israel.

Clearly, you don't understand.

Israel is a people, the Father's people.



To answer your question, we are getting closer, very close. But is does not play out the way you think it does, not the way you have been told.
Read what jesus says about the last days, he told the disciples to prepare for persecutions, to prepare to suffer the last days.

There is NO rapture, jesus does NOT swoop down and scoop you up to heaven. YOU get the full wrath.


Go read, don't believe me, just read it.

It seems quite possible, for many reasons including and beyond Israel, that we are living in the Last Days. The 'birth pain' signs can certainly not be disputed. However, every successive generation since the First century has had an similar reason to believe 'theirs' was the Final/Last generation. Perhaps the 'generation' spoken of by Christ referred to those living at the time of Israel's restoration.... or perhaps not.

One thing for certain is that each of us is living in "our own individual 'Last/Final Days." None of us will get out of this world with our natural lives ---and the ultimate post-death result for each individual, will be the same as it would, if we faced the last years of earth during our lifetime.

The bottom line is that none of us can do anything about either the world’s or our own End Times, except to do everything we can to remain prepared in our hearts and lives to meet the Lord… at any time.

Luckily, none of the above has a lick of truth.

LOL! You remind me of my three and four-year old grandsons who, with great conviction .... dogmatically declare that truth and error are whatever they think they are! They, likewise, have no use for critical thinking and evidence --- when it comes to how they 'feel' about something at any given moment!

Your grandsons sound wise.

More people should listen to children.
