Nicely said Dino. There shouldn't be any debate as to which generation Jesus was speaking to as He spoke to that generation all the time in very unflattering ways. It should not be a surprise which generation was in His cross hairs or in this case, which He would direct His sword.
Luke 9:41 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Mat 12:39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Mark 8:38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Peter similarly thought poorly of his generation.
Acts 2:40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”
Paul echoes the same sentiment.
Phil 2:15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.
Some of us have enough spiritual insight to recognize that God would deal with the generation which were the children of those who killed His prophets, which actually killed His Son and the disciples of His Son. Others think that Christ is more upset with our generation or some future to us generation.
34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
