They’ve believed the end is near for 2000 years.

Shit, the Bible says that the rapture would happen before a particular apostle would die. Yet, here we are without a 2000 year old apostle.

The gymnastics to make it make sense are that he had a vision of the end when he ‘wrote’ Revelations.

I believe OP is referring to Matthew 24:34 (Jesus is speaking answering the question of when he will return): "Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place."
