It's got to do with Israel becoming a nation in their homeland again. A generation in Scripture can be 40, 70, or 120 years. The 40 year generation mark has passed. The 70 year generation mark is imminent. The 120 year generation mark leaves us another 50 years.
But the way things are going and the political situations that are now in existence, dono't indicate that we have that much time left.
Also, I also study the Bible. Many commentators say the Greek word “generation” (”genea”) cited in Matthew 24: 34, can translate to more generalized the English word “race,” “family,” “(eg. Ryrie study Bible). If that is so, Jesus was saying these things would happen before the Jewish people passed away.
Or rather, the Jewish people would not pass away before these things be fulfilled.
It's a slight difference, but my understanding is that the Jewish nation will not pass away.
“It’s got to do with Israel becoming a nation in their homeland again. A generation in Scripture can be 40, 70, or 120 years. The 40 year generation mark has passed. The 70 year generation mark is imminent. The 120 year generation mark leaves us another 50 years.”
