The one and only point I was responding to was "sherbata". If that topic is at a standstill or exhausted then move on to another "scholarly topic". You are reading way too much into my posts.
Oh, I agree that "sherbata" means "generation" everywhere it appears. However, its extended meaning is "tribe, nation or people" and Matthew 24:34 must use the extended meaning. Take for example, the prophetic verse Jeremiah 31:37. The continuing existence of the Jewish nation precludes that Matthew 24:34 could not have been entirely fulfilled before 70 A.D. (destruction of the Second Temple) as is the preterist view, akhi. We cannot ignore prophesy and interpret any passage of scripture in the New Testament isogetically. There are too many eschatological prophesies in the TN"K to be ignored, akhi David. Each one will have its complete fulfillment in the Mashikha. (Deuteronomy 18:15-22) Be well akhi David.
Shlama,
