This eschatological study brings a somewhat controversial subject; with respect to the glorious Return of the LORD AND SAVIOR: JESUS CHRIST.
Let´s try to establish here, the duration of a generation biblically, since Jesus makes a prophetic quote, when he says:"Truly I say to you, that all these things will come upon the present generation. Behold, your house (Jewish Temple) will desert you"(Matthew 23:36-38).
The city of Jerusalem and the Jewissh temple are destroyed in AD 70.
The word generation means: Offspring, action or effect of generating; sets of acts or functions by which a being organizel, produces another similar to itself.
The average period, in which parents are replaced by children, generally computes 33 years; these are human calculations. For this reason, it cannot be trusted.
But we want to show biblically, the duration of a generation, with two fundamental points:
1°} - Based on History
2°} - On prophetic basis.
Jesus Christ said:"And the Scripture cannot fail"(John 10: 35).
1°} - Based on History.
The great prophetic sermon spoken by Jesus Christ(Matthew 24) was given before his death. It is known throughout history that Jesus Christ deid in AD 33.
The fact that the Jewissh temple was destroyed in AD 70 takes us to a time span of 37 years.
From 33 A.D. up to A.D.= 33 A.D. + 37 years 70 A.D. this is the History point.
2°} - With prophetic basis.
Let´s move now to the prophetic field:An exact biblical generation lasts 40 years.
Note: Hebrews 3:9-10:"Where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works for 40 years. Therefore I was angry with this generation".
Right from the beginning we will observe that, God makes a reference to the people of Israel, for not believing in Him; despite all the mighty works performed among his people.( Munbers 14:26-34).
Then, when making numerical reference, he establishes the duration of an exacto generation: 40 years, and the demonstrative pronoun "This present generation". The generation was the people of Israel at the time, and the 40 years the length of the generation of Israel.
Although the time period of Jesus Christ´s prophecy added up to 37 years = Matthew 23:36-38, Jesus considered them equal to the exact 40 year period. Jesus Christ considered the 37 years as being an exact 40 year generation.
BACK TO EXPLAINING.
Notice how mathematics is used with respect to 3 years missing or 3 years passing in the prophetic fiel.
Jesus Said,"Truly I say to you, that all these things will como upon the present generation". And Jesus tells the photos that will happen, stating:"Behold, your house( Jewish temple) will be deserted for you" ( Matthew 23:36-38).
Jesus said this, in the year A.D. 33, and in the year A.D.70, Jerusalém was burned and destroyed, along with the Jewish Temple.
From the year 33 A.D.up to 70 A.D. = 33 A.D. + 37 years = 70 A.D., implying that a generation was a period of 37 years.
Only that a biblically accurate generation is established in 40 years, as it is written:"Where your fathers tried me, putting me to the test, and saw my works for 40 years. Therefore I was angry with that generation". ( Hebrews 3:9-10).
The generation was the Jewish people at the time and the 40 years, the period of the duration of an exact generatio.
MORE PROPHETIC DETAILS, WITH RESPECT TO THE 3 YEARS.
Note: God promised Abram that his descendants would be enslaved for 400 years, saying:" Tren he said to Abrham, Know indeed that your seed ( the Jews) will be strangers in a land that is not theirs and to serve them.
They will afflict trem 400 years; but I will also judge the people ( the Egyptians) which they will serve, and afterward they will go out ( from Egypt) with a great" ( Genesis 15: 13-14).
Note: 400 years/10 generations of 40 years = 10 generations x 40 years = 400 years (Genesis 15:13-14).
Now watch: The Bible also says:" The time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was 430 years. ( Exodus 12:40-41).
430 years/10 generations of 43 years = 430 years = 10 generations of 43 years each, passing 3 years in each generation of 40 years = 10 generations x 43 years = 430 years.
Now observe: Jesus Christ considered the 37 years = ( Matthew 23:36-38) of the period of 33 A.D. to A.D. 70, egual to the period of a generation of 40 years exactly; which is equal to a biblically 40 year generation; and God considered the 43 years equal to period of 40 years = an exact generation. ( Gênesis 15:13-14. Acts 7:6).
The Holy Scriptures, both God in the Old Testament; like Jesus Christ in the New Testament, do not consider 3 years passing, as 3 years missing, in prophetic terms or prophetic periods.
So, a biblical generation is not 70 years, 80 years or 100 years, as some claim; and it is also not a period of 33 years, on a human basis, as I explained.
Any Biblical basis regarding the duration of an exact generation, it has to be over 40 years. ( Hebrews 3:9-10).
TWO PROPHETIC GERERATIONS.
Jesus said:" And the Scripture cannot fail" ( Johu 10: 35). Jesus knew by stating this sentence, that the Scriptures are a set of facts based on mathematics. The science of mathematics is its accuracy. Every plan of God in eternity ( Proverbs 8:22-31) with respect to humanity was calculated and determined upon mathematics. Nothing was done or said or written in Sacred Scripture without the help of mathematics.
The word " until" = indicative of a time limit on space or actions. ( Rom 11:25. Rev 17:17. Matthew 10:30. Luke 21:32).
The Bible presents two prophetic generations, now reveald by me.
Please note carefully: A Chistian generation in Matthew 23:36-38, the first Christian generation, which runs from A.D. 33 to A.D. to 70, and the last Christian generation, in Luke 21:32. Matthew 24:34. Mark 13:30, where he says:" Truly I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, until everything happens".
Watch: Jesus, when leaving the Jewish temple, the disciples said to them:" Master, look at the stones, and what buildings! And, answering Jesus, said to him: Do you see these great building? ( Mark 13:1-2).
The apostles, at that time, repretative of every Christian church of all time; the apostles: Peter, James, John and Andrew who at that moment represented the CHRISTIAN CHURCH, said:" Tell us, when will these things be, and what sign will there be, when all of them are about to be fulfilled" ( Mark 133-4).
After Jesus makes a " LIST " of events, leading up to his coming to conclude:" Truly I say to you, that this generation will not pass away until everything happens" ( Luke 21:32)
Now observe this fact, which only through the HOLY SPIRIT, I could discover: The Bible only presents two prophetic generations: The first Christian generation = 33 A.D. up to 70 A.D. = Matthew 23:36-38, and the last Christian generation, where it says:" Truly I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, until all thring happen". ( Luke 21:32. Matthew 24:34. Mark 13:30).
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH = 50 CHRISTIAN GENERATIONS OF 40 YEARS EACH = 50 GENERATIONS X 40 YEARS = 2000 A.D. = THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH AGE = A.D. 30 UNTIL THE YEARS 2030 A.D. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS THE ONLY THING WUE SEPARATES THE. 69 WEEKS OF THE LAST WEEK OF DANIEL 9: 25-27.
Now observe: Only in mine of the two prophetic generations, there are more 48 generations of 40 years each = 48 Christian generations x 40 years each = 1920 years A.D. + 40 years of the first Christian generation ( 33 A.D. to 70 A.D.) = 1960 years A.D. + 40 years of the last Christian generation = 2000 A.D.
Now watch: From A.D. 33 - 3 years = 30 A.D.
If we start from the years 30 A.D. + 2000 years = 2030 A.D., where the last Christian generation will end = Luke 21:32 says " Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all trings take place".
This period can be called:"MATHEMATICAL ORDER OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH", which is a sequence of 50 Christian generations, of 40 years each; where you can see the { PROPHETIC LUCUNA OR PROPHETIC INTERVAL}, which separates the prophecy from the 69 weeks, gives the last week = 7 years = 70 weeks Daniel 9:25-27.
Where the CHRISTIAN CHURCH ERA is observed = 30 A.D. until the Rapture of the Chistian Church in 2030 A.D.
After the Rapture of the Christian Church from the earth = ( I Tessalonians 4: 13-18), the last prophetic week of Daniel 9:27 enters " He will make a covenant with many for one week; { 7 years} and in the middle of the week, ( 3 years and a half) he will make the sacrifice and offering of meats cease; and on the wing of the abominations will come the desolator, and that until DESTRUCTION; { The Destruction here, will take place in the last half of the tree and a half years; where the GREAT TRIBUTATION will take place = WAR1A NUCLE1AR} and what is determined will be poured out on the desolator" ( Daniel 9:27).
The prophet Daniel said: " But there is a God in heaven, who reveals secret. Gor reveals the deep and the hidden" ( Daniel 2:20-22,23-30).
The prophet Amos says: " Surely the Lird Jehovah will do nothing, unless he has revealed secret to his servants the prophets" ( Amos 3:7).
Now watch: For us to discover the 48 Christian generations, which are HIDDEN from material eyes; however, being revealed now through me; ( Isaiah 46: 10-11) we have to order the periods of time, and find the sum through mathematics.
I named this system: "MATHEMATICAL ORDER OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH".
Watch carefully: When delivering the prophetic sermon of Matthew 24. Mark 13. Luke 21:5-35, Jesus Christ said to his disciples; because his disciples at thah time represent the CHRISTIAN CHURCH, generally speaking, of all times.
Jesus said, " When you see..." ( Luke 21: 8) the word " vedes", comes from the verb to see, which means: To see, to know or to perceive by sight, to be a spectator or witness.
This implis that the prophetic facts utterec by Jesus Christ at that moment, the Chistian Church, would have to be an eyewitness, would have to witness the facts literally.
Jesus Christian, also affirmed, to the Chistian Church, in the persons of the disciples, saying: " And when you hear..." ( Luke 21:9). The word " Ouvirdes", comes from the verb to hear, which means: To understand, to perceive the sounds by the ear. This leads us to think that, the Chistian Church, not only would have to see the facts, by Jesus Christ uttered for testimony; how to listem to serve as a testimonial.
And for Jesus words to be even more firm, he says: " And this will hppen to you for testimony". ( Luke 21:13).
The Christian Church of A.D. 33 until 70 A.D., he had received from Jesus Christ the task of observing the prophecies and the Jews, when said: "Learn therefore this parable of the fig tree: When its branches become tender and pud forth leaves, you know that summer is near". ( Matthew 24: 34)
We observe that, the Christian Church, had received the commission of Jesus Christ to observe the Jews in all its segmens in the history, from the year 33 A.D., walking together with the Jews in the lands of Palestine.
Whem the year 70 A.D. arrived, and the prophecies of Jesus Christ were fulfilled, (Luke 21:24 A. 21:20-24), from them on, the Chistian Church would walk through time separately from the Jews. On the one hand, the Chistian Church would walk through time, preaching Jesus Christ as the only Savior and personally witnessing the prophecies uttered in the prophetic sermon of Matthew 24:1-34. Mark 13:1-30. Luke 21:5-32, while the Jews were in the diaspora; "UNTIL" the Jews return again to their land in Palestine; and to his city Jerusalém again, and went to testify, all that was written in the prophets; with regard to the desolations determined upon the nation of Israel. ( Daniel 9:26).
Diaspora means: Displacement of people for political or religious reasons.
{THE MATHEMATICAL ORDER OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH}
The reader should carefull read the biblical verses indicated by me, and observing the established dates, as follows: From 33 A.D. until 70 A.D., the Chistian Church, the first Christian generation, testified = ( Matthew 23:36-38. 24:1-4, 25. Mark 13:1-5, 9, 23. Luke 19:28-44. 21:5-7,12-15,20-24. Mark 13:10-11,13,23).
{The dispersion of the Jews to all the nations of the earth, and all the suffering of the dispersion of the Jews people. Daniel 9:26 "And there will be war to the end; desolations are determined"} From A.D. 70 to A.D. 1920, the Chistian Church = 48 Christian generations x 40 years = 1920 A.D., the Chistian Church testified = { Matthew 24:5-14,23. Mark 13:6-8,10-11,13,21-23. Luke 21:8-11, 17-19,25-26} From the year 1920 A.D. + ond Christian generation = 40 years = 1920 A.D. + 40 years = 1960 A.D., the Chistian Church, testified: { Matthew 24:32-33. Mark 13:28-29. Luke 21:24 B, 31. Mark 13:27} the rerurn of the Jews to their own land, Palestine, in A.D. 1947-1948.
From the years 1960 A.D. + a Christian generation of 40 years = 1960 A.D. + 40 years = 2000 A.D., the Chistian Church, the last generation of the Christian Church = 40 yesrs, Did not testify: { Matthew 24:15-22,29. Mark 13:14 B, 20}, not witnessed the rise of Antichrist to power, nor the building of the Jews temple in Eas Jerusalém, in its own place, the Chistian Church has not yet witnessed.
1°} - The rise of the Antichrist to power
2°} - The building of the Jews Temple in Eas Jerusalém, in the old city of Jerusalém.
Since we have the "MATHEMATICAL ORDER OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, WHICH ARE 50 CHRISTIAN GENERATIONS OF 40 YEARS EACH".
Let´s usa math now to find the sum.
If the sum is exact with the facts, we are on pretty firm ground; for mathematics cannot fail, and still less Holy Scripture. Jesus said:" And the Scripture cannot fail". ( John 10:35).
Watch carefully, how mathematics and Scripture will be used and their accuracy.
(USING THE POWER OF MATHEMATICS)
Note: from 33 A.D. until year 70 A.D. = a generation of the Christian Church. Although this first Christian generation only had a period of 37 years, Jesus considered it to be exactly 40 years ( Matthew 23:36-38).
From the years 70 A.D. until 1920 A.D., there were 48 Christian generations of 40 years each = 48 Christian generations x 40 years = 1920 A.D.
From the 1920 A.D. + one Christian generation = 40 years = 1920 A.D. x 40 years = 1960 A.D.
Now it is necessary to add another 30 years, which are the 30 years of Jesus Christ; in the 1960 A.D. = 30 years + 1960 A.D. 1990 A.D.
From the year 1990 A.D. + one Christian generation = 40 years = 1990 A.D. + 40 years = the last generation of the Christian Church = 2030 A.D., when the last Christian generation is completed; and the last prophetic week of Daniel 9:27 = 7 years begins.
I can fail in the calculations, being human; but it is quite clear what I teach. The Rapture generation is the Chistian Church; the Jews and the Gentile nations will remain in the world.
(THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH)
The Christian Church, or church of Jesus Christ is a denomination, such as evangelicals, Baptist denominations, Presbyterians, Episcopalian, Foursquare, Church of the Nazarene, Universal of the Kingdom of God, Worldwide of the power of God, Church of God is Love, Methodist, Adventist, Lutheram, Pentecostal, Grace Church, Mission Assembly of God, Maturish Assembly of God, Christian, Fundamentalist, Reformed, Congregational, Aglican, or any independet evangelical Christian Church, or sililar; their names are not mentioned here, as they are many; insofar as they preach biblical truths, they are God´s instruments, and are part of the "Church OF JESUS CHRIST OR CHRISTIAN CHURCH", for the preaching of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the invisible Church in all the earth.
REALLY THE LAST GENERATION OF LUKE 21:32. MATTHEW 24:34. MARK 13:30, IS THE CHURCH CHRISTIAN?
Yes, the generation of Luke 21:32 is the Christian Church, I'II explain.
Observe: We hare to know more, and only through the illumination of the HOLY SPIRIT, can we discover something more, such as: Who is this generation that will not pass awy, is it really the Chistian When Jesus stated: "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass, until everything happens" ( Luke 21:32), established a time which the Christian Church would not pass.
Another point of paramount importance to observe is the exact placement that Jesus Christ placed { This} present generation.
The fact is that we reached the conclusion is the following:
1-°} - This generation of Luke 21:32, could not be the gentile nations; because, according to the Blble, is the writing of the apostle Paul ( II Thessalonians 2: 1-12), after the departure of the Christian Church from the earth; the gentile nations will remain, to fulfill in trem the great tribulation, the wrath of God and most of the prophecies of the Apocalypse.
2°} - This generation of Luke 21:32, was also not referred to the Jews people = The nation of Israel. Because, according to the Bible, the Jews will remain in the land, to fulfill in trem, the fulfillments with respect to the prophecies of the great tribulation pronounced by, to fulfill in trem, the fulfillmens with respect to the prophecies of the great tribulation pronounced by the prophets: and, moreover, the many messianic prophecies, which have not yet been fulfilled, and will only be fulfilled in the Millennial Reig of Christ and the Jews.
3°} - The generation of Luke 21:32, which will not pass is the Christian Church, because the Christian Church will not pass the years 2030 A.D., because it will be Rapture.
The Apostle Paul said: "Trem we, ( That is: The Christian Church = all evangelical believers saved in Jesus Christ), whech are alive and remain, shall be caugh up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord" ( I Thessalonians 4:13-18).
The gentile nations and the nation of Israel will remain on earth after the rapture. The generation of Luke 21:32 is Christian Church.
THE GENERATION OF LUKE 21:32, WHICH WILL NOT PASS AWAY IS THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, FOR ANOTHER REASON.
Note: The prophetic sermon of Matthew 24. Mark 13 and Luke 21:5-32 was not fully witnessd by the first Christian generation, from A.D. 33 to 33 up to 70 A.D. = Matthew 23:36-38, and neither did the last Christian generation, from 1990 A.D. until 2030 A.D. MATTHEW 24:34. Luke 21:32. Mark 13:30, did not foreshadow the general fulfullment of the entire sermon.
It took a sequence of 50 Christian generations, 40 years each, to witness every prophetic sermom; that is: 50 Christian generations of 40 years each; starting in 33 A.D. - 3 years = 30 A.D. until 2030 A.D. = 50 Christian generations.
The Bible highlighted only the main ones, the first Christian generation, from 33 A.D. up to 70 A.D. = Matthew 23:36-38; and the last Christian generation = 1960 A.D. + 40 years = 2000 A.D. + 30 years of Jesus Christ = 2000 A.D. + 30 years 2030 A.D., HIDING the 48 Chistian generation, however, now being revealed to knowledge through me = ( Isaiah 46: 10-11) = " THE MAN OF MY COUNCIL".
