[AllThingsFulfilled]

I think you miss the point by referring to a "type" of people as a generation. What Christ called these Pharisees was a "brood" or "offspring" of vipers. In that he addresses them as a "brood" or "offspring" all of whom are born at the same time. Yes, their character was a vipers, but they were all vipers born as the offspring at the same time, not in successive generations. Thus, you miss the point.

Jesus is speaking about "the generation" which is alive to see all of those prophecies take place will by no means pass away until all things be fulfilled.

[AllThingsFulfilled]

@myspew There is one tiny little problem with that interpretation. Jesus never said "the generation" which is alive to see all... What He said was "this generation," i.e. the current one. That is same generation to which he gave the sign of the prophet Jonah, Matt. 12:38-45. Sad when the words of Christ must be twisted to bolster false beliefs.

[tmat04]

While I agree with you, bear in mind that a Generation can also refer to a "type" of people. For example, Christ referred to the Pharisees as a "generation of vipers." So Christ's followers can also be reffered to as a "Christian Generation."

It is my own understanding that the end of the mosiac system ended in 70 AD.

That city was renamed and Israel soon dissappeared off the map. Syria absorbed it. This went on for 200 to 300 years. Then Jerusalem showed up on the map again.

I would think those years would be considered as the time when the gentiles trampeled Jerusalem?

The wording of the NT does not force a total fulfilment of all prophecy in the 1st century in a technical sense. The kingdom never ends world without end.

The Jews controlled Jerusalem until 70 A.D. (Yes, I know ultimately Rome was in power but the Jews governed and controled it). O.K. And it was "gentiles" who in 70 A.D. sacked Jerusalem under Titus of Rome and then erected a pagan alter on the temple mount, right?

O.K. If all events of Luke ch 21 was completed by 70 A.D., why does vs. 24b say: "Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled?

It was tamped by Gentiles from 70, not until.
