Since you are so committed and caring about our delusions,
and since you are obviously all knowing(since you know YHWH the god of Israel is made up,even though you are a tiny little particle in this vast universe)
i would like you to point me in the right direction so i can see the root of my delusion...
Can you please post us here part of the verse in witch Jeshua is giving the false prophecy.
Luk 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Mar 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
Matthew 7:6

You may be an advocate for worker's rights and self-determination, yet you probably purchase clothing made in nations with fairly autocratic regimes by workers who are treated no better than slaves. You probably have some notion of sustainable and responsible environmental practices, yet you continually purchase products and use services from companies that rape the planet. You could rail against the government and its practices...all while failing to actually participate in politics in even the most minute way, not even voting.
Why? It's called cognitive dissonance. Most literally it means a way in which the brain holds two contradictory ideas at the same time.

Hey look, it's a dishonest and idiotic appeal to ridicule, a red herring, and a direct lie. I've repeatedly asked you to show me evidence of someone who has examined the Hellenistic Greek and come up with conclusive proof that the syntax of the sentence differs greatly from any translation into English, if you don't bother it's your fault.
Yes, it's ignorant. Why? Well...it's preaching separation. Instead of encouraging understanding and community it's preaching to not even bother with 'pigs' (though I prefer the poetry of 'swine'). Non-Christians would be the best group to present your teachings to just for the sake of creating a greater understanding of where you're coming from, even if the others aren't going to accept the position as part of their own worldview.
Mat 7:1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
Mat 7:2 "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and [fn]by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
Mat 7:3 "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Mat 7:4 "Or how [fn]can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?
Mat 7:5 "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Mat 7:6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

You've not justified YOUR position on the Greek, there is nothing for me to argue against until you do so.
You have the burden of proof to show that the vast majority of Greek/Christian scholars for the last 2,000 years have been fundamentally wrong.
Not to mention the other NT apostles and authors.
The "this generation" is the generation who witnesses the events Christ alludes to with the parable of the fig tree hint.
You can't grasp that the apostles asked Jesus three questions in Matthew chapter 24, not one.
