“a generation is thought to be between 70 and 80 years”
Or, maybe that’s what you say now because it’s convenient to help fit your interpretation to the present time. Previously, all the predictors were saying “a generation is 40 years” and measuring from 1948, but then 1988 rolled around and nothing happened. So they said “well we have to start the 40 years from 1967, when Jerusalem was retaken”, but then nothing happened in 2007. So now they say “well it’s 70 years from 1948”, and when nothing happens by 2018, they’ll probably squirm around and say “it’s 70 years from 1967” to give them a couple more decades before their predictions are disproven.

I believe that’s not true- it was common to say that but I believe a generation has always been- post biblical old testament times- 70-80 on average-
and by the way- noone is squirming- (Noone who is intellectually honest that is)- Our view is that the signs appear to be culminating- Christ may return soon- if we are wrong then so be it- life goes on-
