This Generation – God’s Warning to a Wicked and Adulterous People

29 minutes

Episode Summary

In this message, Brother Scott Mitchell teaches on the meaning of “this generation” as described throughout Scripture — a phrase that identifies those who reject God, resist His truth, and walk in pride. Drawing from Psalms, Genesis, Deuteronomy, and the words of Jesus Himself, Scott reveals that the same rebellious spirit seen in Noah’s day and in unbelieving Israel is present in the world today.

This wicked and adulterous generation denies God’s authority while believing it is secure in its rebellion. Yet, as Scripture warns, judgment is coming. God’s Word remains pure and preserved, and His long-suffering grace offers a final opportunity for repentance before His wrath is revealed.

Key Points

A Rebellious Pattern Through History: From the violence of Noah’s day to the unbelief of Israel in the wilderness, every generation that rejects God shares the same spirit of defiance.

Jesus’ Condemnation of His Generation: Christ called His contemporaries “a generation of vipers” for their hypocrisy and unbelief — a warning that extends to today’s world.

God’s Patience Has a Purpose: The Lord delays judgment not from weakness but mercy, “not willing that any should perish” (2 Peter 3:9).

The Coming Wrath: The fig tree has begun to bud, and summer is near. The signs of Christ’s return are unfolding, signaling that time is short for repentance.

The Only Way of Escape: There is one Mediator between God and men — the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5). Salvation is available now to all who believe.
