The Huckster William Miller got it wrong in 1844. Perhaps you can give us a new date. I want to buy “earthly treasures” cheap from those planning to be raptured at that time.
Thanks for the post PhilipFreneau. I’ve often wondered if “Jerusalem” is the earth and not a geographical location on earth.

"This generation" is clearly defined in the NT. It is
wicked
perverse
evil
adulterous
faithless
crooked
untoward

As long as the termites remain or repairs continue, the work's not done. It's getting to the point where the only effective solution will be to burn the whole house to the ground. The wise have left the building. In essence they fled Egypt and Sodom, carrying with them a supply of unpopped popcorn.
This number is used in the Bible to indicate a large number. It should not be taken literally.
