The four generation of Gen 15 is clearly the four generations that lived in Egypt for 215 years before the Exodus. By this calculation, each generation lasted about 50 years - Moses was in his 70s when his first son was born and 80 when his second son was born. Other generation were not as old. Joseph had his two sons in his 30s.
The dispensationalist view on Matthew 24:34 is that this generation refers to the generation of people who will be alive when all the end times events occur. This article explains the context, meaning and implications of this phrase and contrasts it with other views.
The genealogy of Yeshua is 14+14+14 which leads us to the Christ generation or those that become ONE (Echad) with Christ. Added together it sums to 42. There were 42 stops in the wilderness before entering the Promised Land. That means that 42 is a number that signifies the end of one place and transitioning into another.
A generation refers to humans procreating to produce the next generation in their families. Such generations are often thought of in terms of 36 years, or so. A century is one hundred years and has no bearing on human generations. A century is literal but "to a thousand generations" is not to be taken literally (e.g. 36,000 years). –
Exodus 20:6 declares God's mercy to "thousands" or to "the thousandth generation" -- see Bible Gateway for a list of the various translations. From what I can see, early versions of the NIV used "thousands" but later changed to "the thousandth generation". The RSV used "thousands" but NRSV has "the thousandth generation".
The history of man's time on earth is recorded in the Bible and time is measured in covenant-generation time periods. Time runs from when God establishes a covenant with Noah up to the time when God establishes a covenant with the next ministerial agent, in this sequence that would be Abraham. This goes on for six generations.
I'm inclined to think that it's modeled this way and not vice versa, since the fourth generation motif is a common motif in the bible, and can also be found in the ten commandments, so it makes sense that if there is any modeling after, that the four generations prophecy (i.e. that the iniquity of the Amorites has not reached full measure until ...
David’s name also has the Hebrew numerical value of 14. Further the list shows that Yeshua is the 41st generation from Abraham. Abraham’s name also has a numerical value of 41. (3.) By implying that Yeshua is the 14th generation but giving Him as the 13th, this would have in effect made Yeshua both the 13th and 14th generation.
The “wicked generation” is a specific generation, which might stand in contrast a “good generation.” There is no timeframe limits given for either generation. When “all these things” in Matthew 24:34 have been fulfilled then the generation (ho genea) of His words will pass away (parerchomai), but not before.
Yes it will when looked from a regression angle . Meaning which the subsequent generation mean age will be lower . Obviously we cannot verify this with the Bible because we are provided with only few ages for each generation as sample size . But it should hold good for large gap between generation . –
