Edited (cause seems to be needed ): Jesus wasn't an intellectual, he said it, like he meant it! He was a carpenter guys!!!

Theological speculations he wasn't able to make in no way, he didn't knew anything about sophism, scholastics, catechism, casuistics and whatever they've been invented to say exacly the oppsite of what he has said!

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”
–Matthew 24:34 (KJV)

Damn, SOON! "THIS generation", what you need more?

Who Will See the Kingdom Come?

Supporting the conclusions of the Olivet Discourse, there are several other places in the gospels in which Jesus explicitly says that some of his contemporaries will not die before they see the coming of the kingdom of God:

“And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.”
–Mark 9:1 (KJV)

“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
–Matthew 16:28 (KJV)

The common-sense reading of this phrase would be that the events Jesus predicted would occur within the lifetime of his listeners, within the current generation – twenty or thirty years most likely, sixty or seventy at the most. Even with the more generous estimate, of course, any possibility of prophetic fulfillment has long lapsed by now. (The Greek word translated as “generation” is genea, which means the same as it does in English; genea was, for example, what there was fourteen of between Abraham and David, according to Matthew 1:17.) There is no reason whatsoever to conclude that this word means anything other than what it says, except for a desire to preserve the Bible from errancy.

As before, it is not only critics of Christianity who have recognized this problem. C.S. Lewis, for example, in his essay “The World’s Last Night “, called this verse “the most embarrassing verse in the Bible” and an “exhibition of error”. In the essay, Lewis suggested that the explanation for this incorrect prediction is that Jesus, though he was an incarnate deity, was also a human being and therefore shared in human fallibility, and could be wrong on occasion.

To keep this article brief, I will describe the falsifying evidence without giving all the sources and details but, actually, most of it is so well-known, that even Christians should be aware that this evidence exists.

There is clear evidence that prayer does not work despite the Bible promising prayers will be answered.
There is clear evidence that humans invent gods. Humans have invented so many gods that the default assumption should be that a god is a supernatural entity invented by humans. Christianity would need solid evidence that the Jewish god is an exception to this rule but there is no such evidence.
There is clear evidence that religions and gods are propagated through culture by infecting children, and no evidence that they are propagated by gods.
There is clear evidence that Christianity has evolved as human understanding of the world has changed whilst a real, God-given religion, should never need to change.
There is clear evidence that humans on this planet have unequal access to Christianity so, if Christianity were true, billions would be condemned to hell for no fault of their own. This contradicts the Christian notion that God is omnibenevolent.
There is clear evidence that the Bible, supposedly inspired by God, is liberally sprinkled with the type of errors we would expect from its Iron Age authors but would not expect from the creator of the universe.
Christian theology is incoherent to the point of absurdity. God killing his son so he can forgive our future sin is like me breaking my son’s legs so I can forgive my neighbor in case she ever parks her car on my drive. It is quite ridiculous.
There is clear evidence that the arguments presented for the existence of the Jewish God are logically flawed—all of them have been shown to be unreliable. If this were not the case, all honest and intelligent people would accept that God exists, just as all honest and intelligent people accept that black holes exist.

Isaiah 6:10 New King James Version (NKJV)

10 “Make the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
