No problem.
Thanks for responding.
So would that be the generation that Jesus is speaking to, which will both see the sign, as well as Jesus' coming, in your opinion?
I would say that Jesus gave the warning about the Temple to those it would affect before Matt 24:29.
That is all He needed to do, warn people about what would happen and what signs to look for and when to flee.
The events surrounding the destruction of the Temple in 70AD seem to coincide with events in the latter days but there are more events (after verse 28) that seem to point specifically to the coming of Jesus.
It is the generation that sees all the events, including the ones after verse 28, which will be the one to see Jesus return imo.
Matt 24:32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
