Detta förutsätter nu att "detta släkte" betyder "vår generation" el. motsv. och att "allt detta" syftar på hela det eskatologiska talets innehåll. Men (föga förvånande) belägger du inte att det faktiskt är så.
Jag har redan belagt varför det är så och varför det inte kan tolkas på något annat sätt. I den engelska översättningen står det ordagrant "denna generation" (en slarvig svensk översättning måste man säga) vilket också bekräftas av Jesus när han säger "some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom".
"Allt detta" betyder rimligtvis just "allt detta". Visst finns det mycket slarv i Bibeln, men att skriva "allt detta" när man egentligen bara menar "vissa av dessa saker" vore väl lite väl befängt?
Att detta är vad Jesus menade bekräftas som sagt dessutom av Nya testamentets författare med dessa citat:

“Do not seek a wife. This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it.

“For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.“”… (Revelation 22:6,7,10,12,20)
