Ryan E. Meyer (Protestant) in the Importance of Matthew 24:34 and the Debate Concerning "This Generation" to the Inerrancy Debate

  

If η γενεα αυτη is understood to a set specific timeframe for Jesus’s παρουσια and if that παρουσια did not come within that timeframe, then the verse would be understood as a prophecy that did not come to pass as predicted. (Ryan E. Meyer, “This Generation” in Matthew 24:34 and the New Exodus [Studies in Judeo-Christian Thought Monograph Series 2; El Cajon, Calif.: SCS Press, 2025], 1)
