What did Jesus mean when He said, “this generation will not pass away”?

In this episode of Down to Earth Theology, Matt Plett examines one of the most debated passages in Matthew 24 and the Olivet Discourse.

Did Jesus primarily predict the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, or was He speaking about the end of the world?

Matt explores the fig tree generation, common futurist interpretations, the 1948 Israel theory, failed date-setting, and how the judgment on Jerusalem points forward to Christ’s final return.

If you’ve struggled to understand Matthew 24, Bible prophecy, A.D. 70, or the Olivet Discourse, this episode provides historical context and biblical analysis to help make sense of one of Jesus’ most controversial teachings.
