Exegesis
The temporal frame heōs an {ἕως ἂν | héōs án} with the subjunctive genētai {γένηται | génētai} sets an open but definite endpoint: the generation will not pass until panta {πάντα | pánta} are complete. The neuter plural subject with a singular verb is a normal Greek collective pattern, treating the whole set of events as one fulfillment horizon. In English, the force is best carried by a strong negative with a time limit, keeping the emphasis on certainty and completion.
In context — Luke 21:32
Truly , I tell you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things have come about.
