”Did Jesus predict the end of the world within His own generation? In “Did Jesus Get It Wrong? – Unpacking ‘This Generation Will Not Pass Away’ (Matthew 24:34) in Orthodox Perspective”, we examine one of the most debated verses in the Gospels. Orthodox tradition, rooted in the teachings of the Church Fathers, sees this verse not as a failed prophecy but as a layered statement concerning both the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the Second Coming of Christ.


This in-depth study addresses:


What Jesus meant by “this generation”


The historical fulfillment of His warnings


The theological and spiritual implications of Matthew 24:34


Insights from Saints John Chrysostom, Cyril of Jerusalem, and Augustine


The call to spiritual vigilance and hope for every believer


Join us as we delve into the Olivet Discourse through the lens of Orthodox theology—where eschatology meets history, prophecy meets fulfillment, and faith finds its anchor in the words of Christ.
