Final Generation
Are we the final generation
🔥 Are We This Generation Jesus Warned About
?
“Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
— Matthew 24:34
What did Jesus mean by this generation?
Some say He was speaking only of His contemporaries in the first century.
But did they see:
▶️ The sun go dark?
▶️ The stars fall from heaven?
▶️ The Son of Man coming in power and glory?
▶️ The nations mourning at His return?
(Matthew 24:29–30)
❌ No. Those are end-time events, still future.
So who is this generation?

🌿 Fig Tree and the Final Generation
Jesus gave us a clue in the parable just before:
“As soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near…”
— Matthew 24:32
The fig tree is a biblical symbol for Israel
🕎 (See Jer 24:5; Hos 9:10; Joel 1:7; Luke 13:6–9)
▶️ Israel was withered in AD 70
▶️ It budded again in 1948
That wasn’t political. That was prophetic.
Jesus said: when you see the fig tree bloom and “all these things” begin, know the end is near — and that generation will not pass away until all is fulfilled (v.34).

🧭 Signs Marking This Generation
Scripture gives us a clear picture of what the final generation will see:
▶️ Wars & Rumors of War – Matt 24:6
▶️ Famines, Earthquakes – Matt 24:7
▶️ False Christs & Deceivers – Matt 24:5
▶️ Global Persecution – Matt 24:9
▶️ Lawlessness Abounding – Matt 24:12
▶️ Gospel Preached Globally – Matt 24:14
▶️ Knowledge Increasing – Daniel 12:4
▶️ Selfish, Godless Culture – 2 Tim 3:1–5
▶️ Israel in the Land – Ezek 36:24
▶️ Jerusalem a Burden to the Nations – Zech 12:3
We’re not waiting for these to begin.
We’re watching them escalate.

📚 Word Study: “This Generation”
Greek word: γενεά (genea)
Can mean:
– A specific age group
– A people group (like “the Jewish people”)
– A type of moral/spiritual character (e.g., “a crooked generation” – Deut 32:5; Ps 95:10)
Jesus likely meant:
🕰 The final generation alive when the signs begin — and they will witness all:
▶️ Tribulation
▶️ Return of Christ
▶️ Wrath
▶️ Kingdom
And according to Psalm 90:10, a generation = 70–80 years.
Israel’s rebirth was in 1948.
We are deep into that window.

“The generation that sees Israel reborn will not pass away before Christ returns. That’s not speculation. That’s prophecy.”
— Ed Hindson
“The modern state of Israel is God’s timepiece. Keep your eye on Jerusalem.”
— David Jeremiah

🧠 Jewish View: Prophetic Rebellion
The Talmud often used “generation” (dor) to represent a kind of people, not just a time span.
“Forty years I loathed that generation…”
— Psalm 95:10
Jesus’ use of “this generation” could echo that — a rebellious end-time generation that rejects truth and embraces deception.
And yet… God will still redeem a remnant (Zech 12:10, Rom 11:26).
⸻
⏳ Eschatological Warning
“When you see these things begin to take place, look up, for your redemption is drawing near.”
— Luke 21:28
“You are not in darkness, brothers, for that Day to surprise you like a thief.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:4
⸻
⚠️ If You Are That Generation…
Then you will either:
▶️ Be raptured before wrath (1 Thess 1:10)
OR
▶️ Face Tribulation and judgment
There is no neutral ground.
No delay.
No escape… apart from Jesus.
“Watch therefore, for you do not know what day your Lord is coming.”
— Matthew 24:42

Are you ready?

I believe the fig tree began to spout its leaves on July 5 1950 when the Knesset passed the Law of Return for all Jews to start returning to the Land of Israel. 80 yrs from there is 2030. Amazing.
G-D Bless, you.
Shalom and blessings.
I love reading all of your articles because they are very thought provoking and true. Thanks so much!
