"We're the generation that saw the fig tree bud forth, as Israel became a nation again in 1948. As a rule, a generation in the Bible lasts 40 years. ... Forty years after 1948 would bring us to 1988." (Chuck Smith, 1978)

The time of testing is forty years: 30 CE + 40 years = 70 CE

Again the time of testing: capture of Jerusalem with the return
of the Temple Mount to the Evil One : 1967-68 + 40 years = 2007-2008.

We are at the door ; lookup !

“This generation” ala Matthew 24:34.

Not sure about the “testing” part. Where is that in the Bible?

Again the time of testing: capture of Jerusalem with the return of the Temple Mount to the Evil One : 1967-68 + 40 years = 2007-2008.

There is nothing about capture of Jerusalem wrt the start of the generation time period. It's simply another discredited theory of the futurists.

Besides, it's already 2009.

This has been true for 2000 years. Christ can return at any moment. It is folly, therefore, to suggest you can time it with your Israel-centric timepiece.
