Continuation of discussion on the last generation

In case my last posting didn't come up with my capital letters; I am basically offering an alternative to what appears to be a misunderstanding of the beginning date of the last generation since most people born in 1948 are dying off and even if a generation is 70 years it is too late now for 2028 to be the return of Christ since we are already into 2023. It seems no one is discussing this but surely we expect this will cause many to fall away.

In all due respect certainly there are immportant events that occured in 1948; and surely that would fulfill a "nation being born in a day." Some have argued; of course that secular Israel with pagan nations developing the framework; etc. may not really be something of God at all and I will leave out the disparaging comments about the Jews that some have had less than favorable opinions on in regard to conspiracy theories. There have been some who have claimed with the days of punishment turned into years May 14, 1948 can be calculated from prophecies in Ezekiel. Whether or not that is the case again; we have to look at where we are. It also has been argued that this generation can mean "race" in other words Jews will still exist. That doesn't seem to be a viable argument here either. What we have to look at in my opinion is what other possibilities exist as to what the start date could be.

My proposition is this: We may be getting close to the beginning of the final generation. And my theory is that the Psalm 83 war as indicated by the nations in the text may be just that trigger. When we look at Ezekiel 38; for instance we don't see the Palestinians and other surrounding annoyances that Israel is struggling with at present. We also see verses such as Isaiah 26:15 which says the same thing twice about enlarging the nation; and it mentions the borders being enlarged. Israel basically is back to it's original 1967 borders as of now; but soon may expand.
