This Generation
Study #0184 | W.D. Frazee | November 12, 1954 | Wildwood, Georgia

What did Jesus mean when He said, "This generation shall not pass"? In this powerful study given on the anniversary of the falling of the stars, Elder Frazee addresses one of the most pressing questions in Adventist theology—and offers a answer that will stir your soul.

Key Texts: Matthew 24:29–35 | Revelation 3:20

In This Episode:
On November 13, 1833, the stars fell from heaven—the last of the three great signs Jesus promised before His return. Elder Frazee walks through the dark day (1780), the dark moon, and the falling stars, showing from Scripture and the Spirit of Prophecy that these were specific, once-for-all events marking the generation that would see Christ's return.

But 121 years had passed since that final sign. What does that mean? Rather than revising our theology, Elder Frazee points us to the real issue: Jesus is at the door—and He's waiting for us to open it.

Topics Covered:
— The three signs in the heavens and why they're different from other signs
— What "this generation" really means
— Why prophetic time ended in 1844
— The connection between Matthew 24:33 and Revelation 3:20
— Elder A.G. Daniells' seven conclusions on the delay
— What is actually delaying Christ's return
— How we can hasten—or hinder—His coming

Key Quote:
"Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own." — Christ's Object Lessons, p. 69
