Matthew 24:32 - 24:34

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses Matthew 24:32-34 and the Olivet Discourse. He clarifies that while the identification of Israel as the fig tree is not established in the Old Testament, the "door" being referred to in the passage is likely the judgment of Jerusalem, rather than the second coming of Christ. Gregg argues that the phrase "that generation will not pass" does not refer to a specific race of people, but rather those alive at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
