Mark 13:30 - Additional Comments

Different interpretations of "this generation":
(1) All of Mark 13 is referring to the destruction of Jerusalem, which occurred in the Jewish war with Rome in A.D. 66-70.
(2) All these events happened in the first generation of believers and that we have been on the edge of Jesus' return ever since.
(3) Jesus was wrong and this promise wasn't fulfilled.
(4) Others even claimed that Jesus returned and many Christians missed him.
It is apparent to me that the second choice is correct. While not understanding the terminology, Jesus seems to have been referring to the end times. We can be confident, though, this it is true and accurate, in whatever exactly He meant (see vs 31).
