Ringo, the point I made about military technology is
that at the time Jesus gave this speech (which includes
The entirety of chapters 23 through 25) is that 2000
years ago man's ability to annihilate itself was
Impossible.
Only during the 20th Century did man develop the
military weapons that would enable mankind to
completely annihilate itself.
Matthew 24:22 "And except those days should be
Shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
the elect' sake those days shall be shortened.
The crowd at that time didn't witness total
destruction. Only this present generation can see
all that is mentioned in chapter 24.
I guess my reference to Revelation 11 was also
beyond you understanding.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic here; it's just that
sometimes it is best to be direct.
Only the generation that sees all these things,
including the great tribulation mentioned in
verse 22, can qualify as being among those in
"this generation."
