The Fig Tree & The End - Times

and three years reigned he in Jerusalem (1 kings 2:11). Many times we are seeing the term "generation" being associated with "forty years."

After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations(Job 42:16). This verse would figure out to thirty-five years. We might consider that a generation is

forty years, yet may be as little as thirty-five years. "Verily I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate (Matthew 23:36,38). And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, see ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." (Matthew 24:1,2).

The words "this generation," as appear in Matthew 23:36, are the same words that appear in "this generation," in Matthew 24:34; Mark 13:30; and Luke 21:32. Tt is written, "Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled". Jesus had said, "These things shall come upon this generation." One of the things was the

temple would be destroyed. The question arises,"Was the temple destroyed within forty years?" The answer is yes. The temple was thrown down approximately 70 a.d. Jesus was crucified approximately forty years

earlier. Clearly, we can see that a "Bible generation" is forty years.

A biblical generation can (in some cases) be from the age of twenty to sixty a generation, as outlined in the scriptures, was from the age of twenty years old and upward. add forty years, and we come to sixty years

old. from the age of twenty to sixty was considered as a generation. Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward (Numbers 14:29). Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the Lord

(Exodus 30:14). From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel (Numbers 1:3). Surely none of the men that came up out of egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the

land which I swear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me (Numbers 32:11). A biblical generation has been shown to be forty years. It can (in some cases) also be from the age of twenty years to sixty years. It is written and thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old(Leviticus 27:3).

"The fig tree; when his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." "Verily I say unto
