“For a generation of generations are thy years. Of old thou foundedst the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands; they shall perish, but thou shalt stand; and all of them as a garment, shall wax old, as a vesture thou wilt change them, and they shall be changed. But thou art HE; and thy years shall not come to an end” (Ps. 102:24–28).
In this testimony, the Spirit speaks of the Messiah first as a mortal man; secondly, he tells him that his years are for a generation chosen out of all other generations; and that, as one of this generation, his years should not come to an end. Thirdly, that, though cut off in the midst of the days of his flesh, still it was He who laid the foundations of the earth and made the heavens; fourthly, that he who had been cut off, should change them—abolish, or cause to perish, what existed, to make room for what was to succeed them. But, though those heavens should fall, and vanish away, He should stand; for “Thou art He”—the Eternal Spirit in flesh whose years shall never fail.

I'm sure ya'll probably got the true meaning of these verses as presented by Dr. Thomas the first time you read them, but took me several times of rereading it to really understand his comment.....
. Isn't it truly amazing how deep the scriptures are, and how you can read something and not even realize the depth you are missing at first glance.
