How could it be endtime of our age, when Jesus said
this generation shall not pass until
all these things come to pass. I believe He was speaking of the New Covenant/Christianity putting forth tender leaves as it began to bud from Pentecost.
If you want to know what things would come to pass
in that generation go back and read. The disciples asked three questions: Matt. 24.3, "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, (1) when shall these things be? and (2) what shall be the sign of thy coming, and (3) and of the end of the world?"
He is speaking of the "end times" for that age, the old covenant age that ended completely in 70 AD.
