Many have debated what Jesus meant when he said “this generation” in Matthew 24. Did he mean: “the Jewish race”? “This type of people”? or the people contemporary to his time? How long is a generation? When is the time period referred to as the Last Days?

The answers to these questions have major implications for how we understand Jesus’s prophecies about the End of the Age and your view of eschatology. There are two main views on this issue: the futurist view and the preterist view. One sees the things which Jesus said must take place before “this generation” passes away as still yet to happen and in our future. The other sees these things as fulfilled in the period in the First Century leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Which one is it and can we be sure?

In this episode in this series, we seek to answer these questions and consider how they are important for our view of the End Times.
