THE GOOD SEED = A GENERATION
"For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the
nations ... A SEED shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord
for A GENERATION." Ps 22:28-30
That verse explains what Jesus meant when he said:
"Verily I say unto you, This GENERATION shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away." Matt 24:34-35
Wrong, wicked witch of usenet, Psalm 22 is a Messianic Psalm and His
generation is the "genos" (1Pt 2:9) not the "genea" (Mt 24:34).
May I suggest that you learn to read before interpreting scripture?
"This Generation....."
The Author uses three different words translated "generation," using the
primary sense of the word generation: "what is generated by a generator;"
for He is calling attention to the generator too. He uses "genea," a word
used for a natural son to designate the people of Israel generated by Jacob,
as in "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled"
(Matt 24:34). The Author uses "genos," a word used for adopted son, to
designate the church, generated by adoption: "ye are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood" (1 Pet 2:9), and He uses "genemma" to designate all
mankind generated by Adam: "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye
escape the damnation of hell?" (Matt 23:33).
This is apparent when looking at scripture in which two different words for
generation are used together, as in Matt 23:33-36:
You serpents, you generation [gennema: generated by Adam] of vipers, how can
you escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send to you prophets,
and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and
some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from
city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of
Barachias, whom you slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say to
you, All these things shall come upon this generation [genea: generated by
Jacob].
That's the atonement. How does mankind, generated by Adam, escape the
damnation of hell? Mankind escapes the damnation of hell by all the sins of
the world coming upon the one generated by Jacob, who bore those sins on the
cross.
