Mt 24:34 — He meant it
"It's the simple message of believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior. John 3:16–18 is really the anchor verses for the gospel. It takes just a simple belief in Jesus Christ and that's it."
John 3:16–18
The reason why it’s a gospel revolution is because we’re told all the things we must do to get in good with God when it just takes a simple belief. It turns religion on its head — what religion does hasn’t been necessary for 2,000 years.
Our Story
A Lifetime of "Not Yet"
For most of my adult life I have heard and was taught that Jesus Christ had not finished his gospel mission and that he still had to come back to finish the job. The unfinished job was judging the earth and mankind. At the end of the judgment would come destruction of the world and sinners. A vast majority of Christian churches and denominations teach a future return of Jesus Christ. They’ve been doing so for almost 2,000 years.
It took less than 500 years from the last old covenant prophet to Jesus Christ’s arrival. It has now been 2,000 years since Jesus Christ walked the earth — which is four times longer than what the Old Testament prophets said it would take for Jesus Christ to arrive.
Jesus Christ spoke of the last days of the Jewish nation in Matthew 24. Jesus told his audience in verse 34 that there were some standing there who would still be living to see the events he had just described unfold. The Gospel Revolution is built around verse 34 because it believes Jesus at his word.
The Gospel Revolution centers on Matthew 24 and 25, especially 24:34. Why? Because if Jesus was right — and the generation standing before him did not pass away before everything he described took place — then almost everything the modern church teaches about the “end times” must be re-examined from the ground up.
The Problem With “Not Yet”
What This Revolution Stands On
Jesus said what he meant
Matthew 24:34 is not symbolic, allegorical, or referring to a future generation. “This generation” means the people standing in front of Jesus. The Gospel Revolution takes him at his word.
The prophecies were fulfilled
The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD was the most documented catastrophe of the ancient world. It happened exactly within the generation Jesus described. The prophecy was fulfilled — not deferred.
Revelation was misdated
The entire timeline of Christian eschatology rests on Irenaeus — a second-century bishop who also claimed Jesus was in his 50s when crucified. If he was wrong about that, the dating of Revelation must be re-examined.

Why The Gospel Revolution?
The Gospel Has Been Freed
The gospel is no longer a slave to the institutional church, but has been freed from religion’s thorny grasp. Gospel means “good news” — and what’s good news about enduring a stuffy church service? What’s good about attending a service that drains you emotionally?
Church services are designed by clergy to manipulate congregants into responding in a certain way. All churches do it in some form. The sermon with music sandwiching it are among the best examples of how the church manipulates congregants’ emotions.
The gospel is about how the Son of God paid for Adam’s sin to bring humanity back into a relationship with God the Father. Death was the penalty for Adam’s sin, so Christ died to pay for it — wiping it out completely. Then, miraculously, Jesus arose from the dead, causing Adam and Eve and all of their descendants to rise from the dead too.
What is revolutionary about the gospel is that it wiped sin out completely, removing all barriers between God the Father and humanity. There is nothing that separates us from Father God — he is with us always and hears us when we talk to him.
“Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness.”
Daniel 9:24 — New American Standard Bible (1995)
Even more: Jesus officially destroyed religion upon the destruction of Jerusalem, the Temple, and biblical Judaism in 70 AD. There is no more religious class of people, priests, or clergy. All religions across the world are empty and devoid of God’s Spirit. God now dwells with and in people — not in buildings made with hands.
What I just described above is a gospel revolution that frees humanity from mind-numbing religion. Stick around and read this website — find out what that means for you.
The Good News — Point by Point
Good News 1
Christ died to pay for Adam’s sin, wiping it out completely and removing every barrier between humanity and God the Father.
Good News 2
Jesus rose from the dead — and in doing so caused all of Adam and Eve’s descendants to rise. Death no longer holds anyone.
Good News 3
No eternal conscious torment for unbelievers. Death and Hades were the end of all people — until Christ defeated and destroyed them.
Good News 4
Jesus officially destroyed institutional religion in 70 AD. There is no more religious class, no priests, no clergy required between you and God.
Good News 5
God now dwells with and in people — not in buildings made with hands. You have direct, unmediated access to Father God at all times.
The Cornerstone Verse
“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
Matthew 24:34 (NASB)
This website is built around these words. Not around tradition, not around a church council’s decision, not around 2,000 years of theological inertia — around what Jesus actually said.
