Does anyone here (futurist) believe this(“required of”)has not been fulfilled?





Elsewhere in the chapter, our Lord said their generation would be condemned at the resurrection.

Luke 11: 30For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. 32The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.


Two different fulfillment’s?(one in first century, and one future at the resurrection and judgment?

Is it possible for the first passage to also be fulfilled at the resurrection/judgment?
If you believe that, please explain.


I personally believe the first had to be fullfilled in the flesh, in their lives while they were alive.
The latter at the resurrection still to come.
Maybe I’m wrong...



MTD?
I'm not a futurist, but here's my take on it:

He stated FIRST that "this generation" would be condemned at the Judgment Day for their rejection of Christ. THEN He said "this generation" would pay for the blood of all God's martyred prophets. It seems that "requirement" would have to be ultimately met at Judgment Day, for the final penalty for such egregious sin could not consist in merely a temporal death. He did not say HOW it would be required of them, only that it would be.

The destruction of Jerusalem was a temporal punishment, whereas the tenor of His warnings in the chapter under consideration indicate eternal punishments are in view.

The temporal punishment is a harbinger of the eternal and final punishment. Temporal punishments always are, it seems. So then the nation would be punished as a nation when their iniquity was full (just as the Canaanites were in Joshua's day), which punishment came about in AD 70, which itself would be a foretaste of the eternal judgment that all the wicked are to face.
