What does “this generation” mean in Matthew 24:34? with Ryan Meyer

In this episode of Theologically Driven, Dr. Ryan Meyer discusses his new book exploring the meaning of “this generation” in Matthew 24:34. He examines how this phrase has shaped eschatological debates and argues that it refers not to a time-bound group, but to a rebellious lineage within Israel. Drawing from Deuteronomy 32 and other biblical texts, Meyer explains how this generation persists until Christ’s return, when it will be renewed. The conversation also touches on the concept of a “New Exodus” and the future restoration of Israel. This episode offers a thoughtful defense of Scripture and a hopeful view of God’s redemptive plan.
