Jesus did not "promise to keep his bjorn agains from the hour"

Matthew 23:16 then those in Judea must flee[k] to the mountains, 17 [l]a person on the housetop must not go down to get things out of his house, 18 a person in the field must not return to get his cloak. 19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days. 20 [m]Pray that your flight not be in winter or on the sabbath, 21 [n]for at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be.

29 [p]“Immediately after the tribulation of those days,
34 Amen, I say to you, this generation[t] will not pass away until all these things have taken place.

-- you see, they DID face the tribulation of those days. And they endured it and came out. Then they preached that Jesus had destroyed the sacrifices in the temple - superseded it with His supreme sacrifice.

And that was when the Jesus-movement came out from being just another 2nd temple Jewish sect like the Sadducees, Pharisees, Zealots, Essenes etc.

It's Matthew 24 BTW, and I hope people do read it Matthew 24. Because when they do they will see that all the things Jesus said would happen HAVEN'T all happened yet. If you notice, verse 21 says, "For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again.". So, if such terrible things will never be seen as bad again, I can think of quite a few things that have happened that were worse than Jerusalem being trampled and the temple being utterly destroyed as it was in 70 A.D. Also, the actual Great Tribulation revealed by Jesus to John and written in the book of Revelation/the Apocalypse of John describes unbelievably terrible things to come GLOBALLY that will make Hiroshima seem like a cherry bomb.
