There's nothing to contradict the notion that perhaps the Jews will be scattered and re-gathered two or three more times over the next 1000 years before the full number of Gentiles "enter in".

"Just" Scripture. The generation that sees Israel become a nation again in a day after the 70 AD dispersion is to see the rest of the End Times Prophecies come to pass as well.

But why let Scripture get in the way of one's assumptions and biases! /sar

Er - er -- why not quote something if you say it's there. Then provide context (oh, woops! I'm not a literalist, so it's not going to matter).

As for bias, maybe you can figure out why Tim LaHaye's version of the rapture doesn't include Catholics. Hmmm, bias? Don't hurt your back....

In that particular prophecy, Christ uses the word 'generation'. Every other time he uses the greek word for generation he is uniformly referring to a people, or a nation, or a tribe. I think the intepretation that all the adult males alive when Israel was formed will see the end of time is an incorrect interpretation and not what Christ was saying. What I believe the Lord was saying in this prophecy is that once Israel is a nation again, she will never pass away before the end comes.

How may times have the muslims tried to destroy Israel, and how many times has it worked?
