WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDBAR
The deaths continue slowly
The souls who left mitzrayim are slowly being taken
Leaving a younger generation to enter Eretz Yisrael with Yehoshua
Please daven as if your life depends on it
Because it does
We all want to survive through all of this
So we can greet
Mashiach
And proceed onto our
Beit HaMikdash, our Holy Temple
To serve HaShem
With Simcha

Why is it only the younger generation that will survive? Where does it say that? Don't believe it has anything to do with the younger, middle or older generations. Every Jew will be saved. The ones who won't are the Erev Rav. The ones who have passed with this dever will just return as every Jewish neshamah will. The great disaster was the shoah in WWII. We must be optimistic and hope that all our people do teshuvah. We do not understand much of what happens next; His Thoughts are not our thoughts.
In the Torah. After they left Mitzrayim, and sinned by not going in to Eretz Yisrael, it was ordained that the elders were to dig graves and sleep in them each night during their 40 years in the Midbar. All the elders died, and it was the younger generation that finally entered with Yehoshua. This is what I was referring to.
Now I’m not implying ALL elders, but it was the gen that left Mitzrayim that was punished.
The elders are the ones who teach the younger.
It was the elders because it was the leaders of those elders that sinned and they of that generation fell for that rhetoric and thus also sinned along with the leaders. The new generation was not part of that sin, so they merited to enter the Land. Today, after 2000 years of galut, the Jews themselves are coming home and those that need to learn and do teshuvah are given the chance by great organizations, etc. that are helping in that regard. There are many that cannot for one reason or another easily come home, so H' will gather all the remaining Jews to take them home. How all this comes about, we still do not know, but, hopefully, we pray that with each passing disaster that seems to be worse than the previous will come with compassion for all Jewish neshamot as well as for the righteous of the nations. But, as long as people are sleeping and unaware of what is right and what is wrong and lean towards the evildoers, their fate can wind up being the same as the wicked. May H' have rachamim on every ben/bat Yisrael!

I shall not destroy them, says G‑d. However, this generation will not see the Promised Land.
Say to them: As I live, says G‑d, as you have spoken in My ears, so will I do to you.
Your carcasses shall fall in this desert; and all that were numbered of you . . . from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, shall not come into the land of which I swore to make you dwell there. Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
Your little ones, who you said would be a prey—them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised. But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this desert.

ALSO
Back in the desert, every year on the 9th of Av, the people would dig graves and go to sleep in them, understanding that those of them who had reached the age of 60 would not rise in the morning. On the 40th year of their desert wandering, they dug graves as usual, but no one died. Fearing that they had miscalculated the day, they tried again the next night, and the next night. This continued until the 15th of Av, when the full moon indicated that the decree of death had been lifted, and they celebrated. That day was established as a holiday so happy that it is rivaled only by Yom Kippur.6
