Who is This Generation Matthew 24:34

Comment by @easttexan2933 

The scriptures you are using (Matt 24:29-31) go on to say in verse 34 that that event would happen

in that generation of the disciples Jesus was talking to at that time.

That's why I don't fear "the great tribulation" because it came upon the first century believers.

But yes, all who desire to live godly in Christ will suffer persecution.

Jesus was speaking to them, not us, about this time period.

Remember the bible was written to them not us, but for us.

The catching up as it were, was fulfilled in 70AD.

Reply:

The many of the signs, particularly the cosmic ones (sun darkening, moon turning red, etc.), 

did not occur in A.D. 70, and therefore must await a future fulfillment. 

And I really don't know why you would think the "catching up" ( Rapture ) was fulfilled in 70 A.D. 

I just don't see any evidence ( or scripture ) to back up this interpretation of Matthew chapter 24.
The temple was destroyed ( actually predicted in Matthew chapter 23 ). 

And Jesus did specifically speak to the unbelieving Jews at that time, warning this would come upon them ( and their generation Matt. 23:36 ). 

AND after that Jesus was answering the disciples' questions asking when is "Your coming and the end of the age"  ( Matt. 24:3 ). 

He lists many things as "signs". 

And the generation that sees the "signs" will also see the His Visible return to rule and reign. 

Jesus spoke to them, and it was written for us, and not just "them". 

And the future return of Jesus, and our gathering together with Him 

is mentioned many times outside the Gospels ( 1 Cor. 15:50-52, 1 Thess. 4:13-18 ).
