You have no proof of that, nor can you find any. The so-called "dispensational ages" do not exist, except in the imaginative words of the new-age inventors of dispensationalism.

Where does it say that? Christ told his disciples he would return in their generation.
I would be sitting here for days quoting you Scripture where the 'phrase' in THAT day is used, pointing to the Lord's day. Christ did not tell His disciples He would return in their generation. He said Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; WHEN his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, THIS generation (of the parable of the fig tree) shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled ......
Do you know the parable of the fig tree? Well, it is getting late in the day if you have no clue what Christ is instructing. Based upon your erroneous claim that Christ was talking to the generation of His disciples says you do not have a clue what this parable is.
IIPeter 3:8 But beloved, be NOT ignorant of this one thing, That ONE day is with The Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Peter was expecting an imminent resurrection. He was trying to console those who were expecting Christ's return even sooner.
Ah, Peter may or may not have fully understood what he penned. I happened to believe he knew exactly what he was being instructed to write. Because of IIPeter 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
Now wonder what prophets is Peter talking about that that wrote what Peter wrote in this IIPeter 3?
What John is shown in this book covers all three heaven/earth ages. Again IIPeter 3. John wrote down what he was given/shown and it in large part is unfolding while some are sleeping.
You have no proof of that, nor can you find any. The so-called "dispensational ages" do not exist, except in the imaginative words of the new-age inventors of dispensationalism.
What do you mean I have no proof. Peter said what the majority are willingly ignorant of .... and he said in the introduction that the holy prophets also wrote... Have you never read? Genesis 1:2 Describes this flood Peter writes about IIPeter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God (holy prophets) the heavens were of OLD, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then WAS, being overflowed with water, perished; .....
Peter is NOT talking about Noah's flood as he already addressed that flood in IIPeter 2:5.
Daniel, long before John penned the book of Revelation, did not understand what he was told to write down. He was told Daniel 12:9 And he said, 'Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.....
Interesting now isn't it that your subject 'the sealing of the 144,000'. Is it a coincidence God sealed up the book of Daniel to Daniel and here we are 'days' later and the subject is the sealing of 144,000 of the twelve tribes of Israel? HMMMMM and you claim things that are just not true.
