THE FIFTH GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE FUTURE
Matthew 24: 32-35:
Now Jesus speaks of far away events. Jesus says that all these things will have happened before that particular generation
to which he has been making reference has passed away.
This particular generation is not that of these three apostles whose question he has been answering here, in Matt 24.
In saying all these things, he means all the historical events already predicted will have happened. He adds that the
remaining things, they will all take place together in one generation. The generation which sees the sign of the fig tree,
this is the generation which will see the End of Days.

Matt. 24:32 Now learn a parable of the (symbolic) fig tree, (representing
the State of Israel); When his branch is yet tender, (in 1948 AD), and putteth forth (five
fingered) leaves, (1980 AD, the return of Jerusalem as capital city), ye know that summer is nigh:
Matt. 24:33 So likewise ye, (you Jews), when ye, (you Jews), shall see all these
things, know that it, (the day of understanding), is near, even at the doors, (Rev 4:1).
Matt.
24:34 Verily I say unto you, "This (particular) generation, (of 1945 AD), shall not pass,
till all these things be (historically) fulfilled (starting with Comforter, the book of Matthew
in 54 AD: [John 16:7], through 1000 years of one universal church for Christianity, until the Great Schism with Orthodoxy
in Greece, and all other things)."
Matt. 24:35 (All the host of) Heaven, (of pagan
religions, the Greek and Roman mythology, and worship of the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars: [Deut 4:19]) and
(the corresponding anthropomorphic social behaviors on) earth shall pass away, (the mythologies, especially
the Greek and Roman, and Astrology), but my words (which will come in the New Testament) shall not
pass away.

(Link: End of Astrology)
Deut. 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even
all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all
nations under the whole heaven.
