Refutation of the 1948 Israel founding as a generational clock for Matthew 24

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 9) 00:11:17 – 00:12:20

Mike critiques the popular dispensational application of Matthew 24:34 to Israel's statehood.

A common teaching held that "generation" = 40 years, so Israel becoming a nation in 1948 meant the Second Coming would occur by 1988. When that failed, interpreters extended it to 70 years (2018) or 100 years. Mike rejects the foundational premise: that Israel's re-gathering is the starting event for the generational countdown.
