So much of the prophecies of Jesus that refer to the "end times" hinge on just what generation it was that He called, "this generation." To me, it's more than just the written word, but even then...it is so clear, and yet most of Christendom does not see it. So...I recommend if anyone cares about the truth, that you do a little study. But, not to worry, a little study is all it should take. Here, I'll show you.

Below are the passages of a simple search of the words "this generation" addressed by Jesus, from the book of Luke. It is the last passage that is in question, the one that would seem to be about when all of His prophecies get wrapped up. But, really, to get the full idea of Jesus' position and why He goes on and on about it, I recommend you read all the passages, there's not that many:

And the Lord said, “To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?
[ Seeking a Sign ] And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.
The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.
But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.

...Simple, right?

But the argument then comes because it is just inconceivable that everything that Jesus named off, surely could not have already happened some 1,900+ years ago...unnoticed, right?

Now, this is where Jesus, would get a sad look on His face...and say, "Oh, ye of little faith!"

But me, I'll just explain:

You see, well, no, that's not going to work, "because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand." - But that was then, and this is now. Surely, by now, the Holy Spirit will have guided us into a little more of that "all truth" that was promised, right? Okay, I will give it a try!

You see...just as the world only saw Christ defeated on the cross, but His chosen witnessed saw His resurrection from the dead and ascension bringing victory over death and salvation from sin for all who believe...the world didn't see all of what Jesus said would happen to that generation either. You see...what Jesus foretold, did not pertain to the world, but to the kingdom - and what did He say? ... "In 2,000 years or so, I while return to the world and every eye will see Me."

No - that is not what He said. This is what He said: A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me."

...Not 2,000+ years, but "a little while", and not in a way that the world would see - but in fact, in a way the world would not see! So...why haven't you seen Him? - I'll tell you why...because you have been looking in the world!

Folks...we have been lied to. 

Now - get it straight...and figure it out. Or you may as well join in the chorus of those who don't believe He rose from the dead either.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
