"Eager to see the end of this evil system, Jehovah�s people have at times speculated about the time when the �great tribulation� would
break out, even tying this to calculations of what is the lifetime
of a generation since 1914. However, we �bring a heart of wisdom in,�
not by speculating about how many years or days make up a generation, but by thinking about how we �count our days� in bringing joyful
praise to Jehovah. (Psalm 90:12)
Rather than provide a rule for measuring time, the term �generation� as used by Jesus refers principally
to contemporary people of a certain historical period, with their identifying characteristics."
That was it, the very straw
itself. I sure like your posts, by the way.
