Interesting. With regard to the generation not passing away and the 70 year generation, I wonder if the restoration of Israel and the triggering of the 70 years wasn’t at the initial rebirth of the nation, but when Israel captured the Temple Mount in the 6 Day War. Seventy years from that is 2037.
So what if...
The 1948 and 1967 dates give two 70 year timelines, where the 1948 date will be used to help plot the Man of Sin deception and the 1967 date started the countdown to the actual return of Christ?
El curioso. A simple thesis can expand into a wealth of speculation really quick.
But kind of like what I was saying, any details will — I believe even in my heart — be targeted to the lowbrow. This is more in character for the Lord who “makes foolish the wisdom of the wise.” No matter how much detail the proud mavens of this age master, God can throw in one more curlicue that throws their picture quite off, and doubly so when the humble will say that hey, we were figuring on something a lot like this. He does it to prove that He’s God and our ideas cannot come even CLOSE except by virtue of humility. (The idea that we could master the capabilities of God without God was the folly of Eden.)

The bible states that Israel would become a nation ‘in one day’ which is precisely what happened- it talks about her becoming a nation, not capturing the temple mount as the point in prophesy
