In this video, Peter is joined by Dr. Ryan Meyer from Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, author of “This Generation in Matthew 24:34 and The New Exodus” (2025). How should we understand the phrase, “this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”? Dr. Meyer walks us through the important backdrop of the word “generation” (γενεά), and how Matthew appeals to the Old Testament context. Enjoy this fascinating conversation!
