Jesus “This Generation Shall Not Pass Away” False Prophecy? Matthew 24:34 | Sam Shamoun
Jesus “This Generation Shall Not Pass Away” False Prophecy? Matthew 24:34 | Sam Shamoun
Shamounian /Halal Hogan/ Sam Shamoun
explains to Christians in the bible about Jesus mentioning in Matthew 24 verse 34 where he says “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened” . This is often seen as a false prophecy by athiests who refuse to believe in Jesus but when we look at it’s context this verse isn’t talking about Jesus coming during their generation and finally make end times and world to be finished . This verse talks about how Jesus will come to call in judgement on jerusalem of the destruction of the 2nd temple to end the old testament era and establish the new testament eta and that when the son of man comes it will be the sign that Jesus came to fulfill their rejection because since they did not say “Blessed be he who comes in the name of the lord” Jesus wouldn’t return but instead fulfill his promise on doing what the prophecy said for rejecting him as messiah and will be coming during end times when the rest of the prophecies are fulfilled with the beast and the false prophet in revelation.

Jesus didn’t say they would never see Him again unless they said, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” He said they wouldn’t see Him again until they said it (Matthew 23:39). That’s a crucial distinction.
The phrase comes from Psalm 118, part of the Hallel (Psalms 113–118), which was sung during each of the three annual pilgrimage feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. It was a traditional greeting shouted from the city walls as pilgrims approached Jerusalem. In fact, the crowds chanted it when Jesus entered the city during His triumphal entry (Matthew 21:9), but they still demanded His crucifixion just days later. So clearly, saying “Blessed is He who comes…” was not a sign of repentance—it was a liturgical custom.
By quoting that phrase, Jesus wasn’t predicting a future national conversion. He was warning that they would see Him again in judgment, and that judgment would come during one of those very feast days.
Josephus confirms that the Roman siege of Jerusalem reached its horrifying climax during Passover in 70 AD. Over a million people had gathered in the city for the feast when Rome attacked. The temple was destroyed, and the city was burned—exactly as Jesus had foretold.
So when Jesus said, “You shall not see Me again until you say…” He was foretelling that His return in judgment would take place during a feast when the people—ironically—would be singing that very psalm again, just as they had when they rejected Him.
You’re right deception because most of the people will be fooled because the Antichrist the ones that are against God will be able to perform signs and wonders in the foreheaded beast will come out of the ocean and one of my immortal injury and though he’ll come back to life and they’ll tell the people to build a statue in the Holy Temple so there’s a lot of biblical prophecy that he’s just focusing on the Old testament if you have any belief in the New testament or even in the book of Enoch which I studied or book Ezekiel or Daniel or book of Dean is I mean there’s a lot to unfold and there’s many different ways to look at it this is why it all comes down the faith
Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Unless I misunderstood you , this certainly sounds like the point which is known as the last days, as none of the above happened in the days of Jesus.
There’s no evidence whatsoever that Jesus turns up in the bodily flesh, because it’s not needed, He died once, that’s all he needed to do, he didn’t need to appear again, the elect are always with jesus after that, thats what they say in scripture, he had quadrillions of years of existence prior to being human, pretty much think thats hisnatural state.
Also, the fact that Jesus prefaces, his comments on stars of the heaven, the Sun and the moon means he’s referring to potentially literal physical heavenly phenomenon during the last days and not demons as you say… I agree , the bible refers to demons as stars, But not in this instance.
The gospel that you refer to as preached by protestants is not the gospel that Jesus taught, Luke 4:43 states that Jesus came to preach the good news of the Kingdom, not to preach his resurrection or his death, that was part of it, but it wasn’t the reason he came. It was a result of the reason he came, preaching the good news of the Kingdom means the removal of satans dominion over mankind, so satan wanted him dead for that, thus brusing him in the heel. According to genisis 3:15, which i’m sure, you already know.
But just to be clear , matthew 24 does refer to the signs of the last days of both Jerusalem and the end of our age , starting with the presence of christ and the end of The current system of things, that is, the way things are done at the moment, with human governments etcetera, the Kingdom takes over, restore the planet under the direction of Christ and his anointed at matthew 5:5
If you could just stop deleting my comment as your gatekeeper seems to feel threatened by the things I say, maybe you could address them instead of just keep deleting them, now , I realise it’s you or other people or maybe just google.
I love Sam and his attitude towards the muslims, and how he exposed the devil in his writings.
But here, Sam mixed and confused listeners by explaining Matthew 24 and Lord’s second coming.
He doesn’t understand this part of the scripture because he doesn’t have revelation from the Holy Spirit. To understand this part, we need to understand verse 24:15 where Lord Jesus mentioned Daniel. Lord said let him who reads understand.
So, to understand this passage, we need to understand prophecy for nation of Israel, given to Danielle. 69 weeks is fulfilled and we are waiting last week to be fulfilled.
Matthew is plagiarized from the book of Mark, lol
He’s way off when he was talking about the angels. These angels are not the angels in Revelation that preach the gospel. In Matthew before 24:31, the angels are reapers. The Gospel of Matthew provides clear passages where angels are depicted as reapers in the context of gathering. This aligns perfectly with a dispensational understanding of end-time events.
Here are the key passages from Matthew, with commentary:
Matthew 13:37-39 (KJV):
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."
In the Parable of the Tares, Jesus Himself explicitly identifies the "reapers" as "the angels." This is a profound statement revealing the role of angelic beings in executing God’s judgment and separation at the end of the age. From a dispensational perspective, this speaks to the ultimate separation of the righteous from the wicked, which will occur at Christ’s return and the establishment of His kingdom. The "harvest" here signifies a time of divine reckoning. Matthew 13:40-42 (KJV):
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Commentary: This continues the explanation of the Parable of the Tares, further emphasizing the active role of angels. They are not merely observing but are directly involved in "gathering out" those who cause offense and practice lawlessness. This points to a future, literal purging of evil from the earth before the millennial kingdom is fully established, reinforcing the concept of divine judgment carried out by angelic agents.
Matthew 13:47-50 (KJV):
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Commentary: In the Parable of the Net, the same theme is reiterated. The "angels" are again identified as the ones who will "sever the wicked from among the just." This parallels the previous parable, showing a consistent teaching from Christ about the eschatological role of angels in separating the righteous from the unrighteous at the consummation of the age. This act of separation is vital before the kingdom can be fully manifested in righteousness.
Matthew 24:30-31 (KJV):
"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
This is a crucial passage for understanding the gathering of the elect at Christ’s Second Coming. While the immediate context here is Christ’s return to Earth after the tribulation (as understood in a dispensational framework for Israel’s program), it clearly states that He "shall send his angels" to "gather together his elect." These "elect" here refer to the elect of Israel and the Gentile survivors of the tribulation who will enter the millennial kingdom. The angels serve as the agents of this final, worldwide gathering, bringing them into the visible presence of their King. This gathering is distinct from the pre-tribulational rapture of the Church, but it demonstrates the consistent role of angels in God’s end-time plan of gathering.
These passages clearly establish the role of angels as reapers and gatherers in God’s sovereign plan for the end of the age, particularly in the context of judgment and the establishment of His kingdom on Earth.
It’s so important to read the surrounding text to get the context of the verses. There were no chapters or numbers in the letters the apostles wrote, it was just one letter so you can’t just read one line of the letter and get the whole meaning.
What churches did Jesus destroy, i thought the church was created in rome
Sam I love to listen to your teachings but I do feel this one went off course. Mathew 24 is definitely speaking prophecy of the end of the world. KJV Mathew 24:3. Not sure what version of bible your teaching from. Mathew 24:2 there shall not be left here one stone upon another hasn’t happened yet. There was many left still stacked from the second temple destruction that’s still stacked until this day. Mathew 24:32 command us to learn the parable of the fig tree so that we will recognize what generation will be when Jesus returns. So we are given the generation that gathers the Jews back to their homeland from the four corners of the earth from which they were scattered to plow the field sewing the seeds of Christianity. This generation of gathering back to their promised land started in 1948. Jeremiah ch 24 and 31 the gathering of both the good fig and the bad figs. Jeremiah 31:27. This is already happening now started in 2019. Isaiah 46:10. Now when one stone shall not be left upon another is when Jesus lands on the mount of olives Zechariah ch 14 and divides the mountain shoving land masses Away from the house of David.
Jeremiah 12:8 becomes the temple of God. Jeremiah 13:1. There’s a lot more to say but too much for text. Anyways I disagree with your teachings on Mathew 24.
This message could be delivered with a softer tone and sound less patronising.And he gets it wrong. It is the things Jesus refers to after verse 35 that will be seen by a generation of some indeterminate date. Whenever those things are seen by an unknown generation, will be the generation that does not pass away until everything is played out. As none of the things listed AFTER verse 35 have happenef yet, It is still in the future, even to this day. This man is obviously a preterist.
Revelation 13:16-17. It states: "And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name.” This has not happened yet.
Satan is going to be the leader in Jerusalem claimng to be God in the temple as antichrist. He will be in control of the one world political governmental system. That’s what the beast is in revelation and daniel.
There’s not one stone left on top of another because God’s wrath spills on the temple where satan is sitting as the false messiah. Anyone who claims to be God is an antichrist. There are many antichrists, but there is THE ANTICHRIST, which is Satan himself.
Just like there is THE CHRIST and his followers are CHRISTians. Same goes for satan. SATAN IN THE ANTICHRIST and those who follow him are called antichrists.
Hes coming claiming to be the Messiah after he gets kicked out of heaven. This will happen at the end of this generation christ fortold. The generation of the fig tree. That generation began in 1948 when israel became a nation again. God promised through Jeremiah in chapter 24 that israel will become a nation again. That prophecy was fulfilled in 1948.
Wake up people!
We are approaching that time in
revelation 12 satan gets kicked out of heaven. Not just his spirit but SATAN HIMSELF.
Just because a church has been committing idolatry for 2,000 years doesn’t make it right. How long did the Hebrews commit idolatry? Over and over and over for years upon years. And there is no one in heaven that hasn’t come down from heaven, The Son of Man, Jesus. He is the High Priest, no one comes to the Father except through Him. Do I need to give you scripture, book, chapter and verse? Surely you already know them. Wrong again Sam. Check yourself brother.
Sorry bro Luke 21:25 – 36
"This generation" was obviously the Jewish apostle generation ( 40 yrs) of Israel! It is unwise to say. It is all about global society
2000 years later! Jesus never said it! He was extremely specific talking about the destruction of Jerusalem, Sabbath etc! Jesus was talking only to Jewish people! He didn’t preach to pagans while He mentioned pagans who were invaders of Jerusalem and who destroyed Jerusalem! What did Jesus talk about? The End Of the Age of the End of the Old Testament? False interpretations of Last Days were created with ignorance to context!
There’s no second coming in original text but appearance of Jesus! History proves it He appeared in 70 a.d period on the clouds and even pagans who hated Christians saw Him and then He disappeared!
Jesus said It is Better
Him to leave because He wanted Holy Spirit to come then why He supposed to come again when Holy Spirit is better?
Jesus was talking about the end times–the end of the Old Covenant age.
I disagree with your argument. (It is an interesting take though, and had me rethinking the passages though, so thank you for that.)
You can’t say the context setting is in Mathew 24:1-4 then ignore all the text in the preceding 30 verses and claim verse 34 is only talking about verses 1-4. It is a bad argument.
The same can be said for Mark 13, and Luke 21.
This is not a credible interpretation of the chapter 24. Vrs 29-31 is connected in Rev 6 with the final moments of this earth and its beginning of judgment ( Day of the Lord). Moreover Vis 36-40 speaks about one taken other left…
None of these contexts match with your interpretation.
WHY DO YOU THING THIS GREEK WORD ‘GENOS’ IN 1 Peter 2:9 WAS TRANSLATED IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS? LIKE
– "But ye are a chosen GENERATION, a royal priesthood, a holy nation", KJV
– "But you are a chosen PEOPLE, a royal priesthood, a holy nation", ISV
– "But ye are an elect RACE, a royal priesthood, a holy nation," ASV
Perhaps because it has/had WIDER MEANING THAN JUST THE WAY WE UNDERSTAND IT TODAY.
If so, if generation can mean a race or some other category of people like for example Jews or "chosen people", Jesus prophecy can be understood completely different that you are suggesting! And there would be no need to invent "invisible coming of Jesus", that is a heresy.
All that sounds quite reasonable, except – what about the verses 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 30, 37-39, 40-41??? How do they fit into this explanation of the destruction of the temple?…
The Generation of the Fig Tree. As set fourth in 1948. Yes, there is a large number of people in this generation. But when they are gone, they will usher in the new era.
In my search for God, I’ve come across different religions. This one is the most difficult one. When God through the writers says "this generation, we poor God seekers must understand "that generation’"! Must we question our understanding of English to comprehend the Bible? When we read Matthew we understand Jesus is talking of the end of times but we must. Only the guy in the video is right. The rest will go to hell!
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” (Matt, 23:39) This means Blessed be God who comes in the name the lord (God)I If you understand, sorry I can’t!.
In the same way, I cannot understand how three is equal to one, and one is equal to three. And because my poor mind cannot understand I am doomed and shall go to hell. Yet, he promised "“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." They say simple-minded does not mean simple-minded.
When the Hebrew Bible says in Genesis 2:2: "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." (KJV) But God could not break his own law of Sabbat on the very first page of the Bible. So I must understand seventh to mean sixth. That is why I read: "2 On the sixth day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done." (NRSVUE).
Lok at these verses:
"Again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” (2 Samuel 24:1)
"Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel." (1 Chronicles 21:1)
Tell me: is God satan?
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.". Children can read but they must not understand what is written. It is a pure verse of a holy God.
Heureusement que le ridicule ne tue pas!!!
Pretty slick how he ignored Matt. 24:30 where every eye will see Him (Jesus) COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.
Don’t be fooled, this IS The Lords second coming at the end times and not AD70.
This is also seen in Zech. 12:10
Both passages also speak of Mourning for Jesus when THEY SEE HIM AT HIS SECOND PHYSICAL COMING.
You are full of yourself. You said, "why should I care what somebody is said…?", but you came up with ridiculous explanation of your own on Matthew 16:28,29. You got it all wrong, mate. Go learn what, figure of speech, sympolism and apocalyptic form of Hebraic language. You can not just take everything literally. Christ said his second company will be in the same generation. If you can not understand this simple verse you better stop confusing God’s children. According to Matthew 24:1 – 34, that generation would see his coming. The sign of His coming was the destructs of the temple and the fall of Jerusalem. If you wait for physical and visible coming of Christ, you totally missed the correct interpretation of endtime prophecies.
I’d be scared n nervous just to ask Sam a question he so nasty.angry
We are close to the end of this flesh age. It’s almost 7th day after God rested on the last 7th day. 1 day with the Lord is as 1000 years for men. After Israel became a nation in 1948, that generation born after that event will not pass away until the prophecies (like 1 through 7th trumpets) come to pass. We are getting close that people who are born at that time are starting to pass away.
A certain generation that will see 2 nd comming of Jesus won’t pass away was what I heard being best explanation by a messianic Jew
Except Paul said that the World knew the Gospel 3 times. COL 1:6
You need the book of Enoch and the following angels and the nephilim and the cherimum and how the follies is corrupted God’s creation Adam and Eve first attempted Eve Satan Lucifer the brightest shining Star of God’s creation and he tried took over and he was able to convince 11 angels before and corrupt mankind so when he returns when Jesus returns in the end days he returns in a spiritual way he will return in his image in a spiritual way with wings and he will lift his people to to one of the rooms that he says his father God has many mansions and he will prepare a mansion there for those who really believe
Jesus fullfilled a OT prophecy that seems to say its one event, happens all at once. But Jesus only fullfilled the part He spoke aloud. The rest He fullfills at 2nd advent. Again, they thought it would all be fullfilled at once.
It may be that what occured in 70 ad was also a partial fullfilment. And what took place there on a local level will take place on a global scale at the last days.
The churches of Revelation are future, the entire book takes place on the "Lord’s day" (Rev 1:7), which John the Apostle saw in the Spirit, the prophesied Day of the Lord, which Paul tells us can not come until the Antichrist is revealed (2 Thess 2). Hebrews to Revelation deal with the last generation that will see the 2nd coming of Christ after "the fullness of the Gentiles" comes into Paul’s ministry (Romans 11:25). We are still living under Paul’s dispensation of grace to the Gentiles until the Body of Christ is gathered to the Lord (2 Thess 2:1).
How do you deal with KJV end of the world?
Matthew 24:3 (KJV) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Not unless you say. But until you say it. Huge difference.
Nope. Three completely different questions. For completely different times
Sam read your bible AGAIN. Count how many times Jesus says "shortly" in revelation. Matthew 26:64: Jesus is talking to Caiaphas , who was NOT present at the transfiguraiton. Jesus has already come back (Josephus). The temple was levelled in 70AD. We are in the little season of revelation 20:3. Despite your knowledge of the Bible, you are twisting it to fit your narrative. Gunnar Heinsohn and Anatoly Fomenko have proved history and timelines are completely manufactured
The Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed twice first by the Babylonians than by the Romans and then their biblical prophecy says there will be a third temple at which the Antichrist would Antichrist means against God A man who is against God will stand in the temple and claim to be Christ that’ll be the desolation of the desecration of desolation so I guess you can consider the last 2,000 years to be the church age and now the disciples asked Jesus when will the end of days when will be the end of time when will you return Jesus was cast out of Israel and he says when you see a fig tree branch sprout from the ground and bear green leaves that’s Israel returning to Jerusalem and they did that 1948 He says then you will know you were on the end times in the end of days is coming and is upon you which is gets into biblical prophecy of the rapture and the judgment and there’s a first judgment and the first judgment the rapture and who is of the earth will remain in the earth and those will be taken up to where Jesus is in rain for thousand years and then the final judgment and then it’ll be a new heaven and a new earth this I studied with the biblical professor who’s read and spoke Greek and Hebrew as well as English
Bravo says that the end times cannot happen until the gospel has been preached to the whole world with the internet now then it can and it has been That’s a prophecy
the greek word likely means ‘race’; the race of men; yes the end of the human race with defective depraved nature.
Taken completely out of context
ONLY IF THE CHURCH AND CHRISTIANS GOT THIS. MANY DON’T SADDLY. GREAT JOB BROTHER SAM! BLESS YOUR TEACHING TRUTH.
Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum: the Olivet Discourse (on utube, 121:50 min) IF you want the expert teaching
im so with it until the weak verse 31 explanation… spreading the gospel described in such an unclear way is unheard of. In vs14 its described in a normal way, and is likewise done elsewhere. makes no sense
Jesus is talking about the end of this eon. After this eon comes another eon , which would be the Millennial reign of Christ. That eon or age also comes to an end.
Sam has no business telling anyone what sound doctrine is because he’s a fraud and a catholic lol and he’s pointing fingers at the muslims like he’s saying something lol get your skirts clean and then you can talk.
So basically, this video is saying there are two second comings. Shamounian literally says, “we see Jerusalem destroyed, that means Jesus came” — just to make the prophecy true.
Just curious where this guy gets all his info? Is he a layman or a religious figure?
I think my antenna is broken. I’m getting nothing.
That would you die on the cross for your brother like Jesus died on the cross for you? That’s what the Lord is talking about
