« The length of time is indicated by him when he said, “Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.ˮ (Matt. 24:34, NW) The actual meaning of these words is, beyond question, that which takes a “generationˮ in the ordinary sense, as at Mark 8:12 and Acts 13:36, or for those who are living at the given period. So it was on “this generationˮ that the accumulated judgments were to fall. (Matt. 23:36) This therefore means that from 1914 a generation shall not pass till all is fulfilled, and amidst a great time of trouble. » — Magazine : The watchtower, July 1 1951, page 404 § 11.
