Matthew 24:34-35 (NKJV)

Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Generation (Gk. genea), as used in different contexts, may mean “race” or “generation.” Some, therefore, take it to mean race here, so that Israel as a people will not cease existing until God fulfills His promises to them. Other peoples, like the Hittites and Amorites, have come and gone, but the Jew is still here. Another possibility is to say that genea describes a particular era in which people will see those end times. The events that happen will occur so rapidly that all will happen in one generation. Perhaps both are true. All includes the Antichrist, the Great Tribulation, and most importantly the stellar appearance of the Christ of glory.

The words of Christ are more sure than the very existence of the universe.
