is one thing a lot of clergy get hung up on, but, I do think it refers to the church age. And Ashnan, you can find a lot of end time prophecy in the old testament such as Isiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah to name a few. If anyone wants some specific passages I can post them. The really interesting thing is Biblical prophecy could not be fulfilled without a nation of Israel, as Israel is an intricate part of prophecy and Israel did not come into being until the late 1940's. I for one believe that "we" are "this generation" If you read the Bible, then the news concerning Israel and the middle East, you can almost see God sitting at His "chess board" moving the pieces into place for Jesus's return. This is just one woman's conviction, just thought I'd share it with you :)
