Jesus said he would return stealthily, and nobody would know when. Therefore, if any of those people who keep predicting the time of the Second Coming get it right, then by their own theology they will delay it.

      Pretty much yeah, in the sermon on the mount I think, he said he’d be back while the people who were listening were still alive.

        He did the sermon on the mount before he was crucified and subsequently resurrected (came back) though. That said, I personally dont think the translation means generation in literal, this group of humans sense anyway.
