Perhaps you could show how Peter's words to THAT generation have any relevance to us now, almost 2,000 years later?

There are no verses that place an ending of the gospel. As a matter of fact, the Bible is clear that the gospel is everlasting and if there ever is another one it is to be accursed.
However, when it comes to Jesus coming to bring judgment against the rebellious old covenant people, there are several verses that say that will happen during the same generation in which Jesus taught.
I can provide verses for either of the above points if you wish.
