Illogical answers will be ignored.

He left a message on my answering machine; he'll be back tomorrow sometime after lunch; he has to stop by Walmart to pick up a few things first..

Seriously...to a question like this, what sort of "logical" answers were you expecting?

The same Holy Bible that tells us that Jesus will return again, also tell us: that no man, not even the Angels in heaven know the day nor the hour when the Lord Jesus will return. Jesus says: Only his Father knows, but He told us to be ready, because we do not know the day nor the hour, Also Jesus cautioned us to watch and pray, so that day will not come upon us as a thief and catch us unaware. However, Jesus tells us in ST. Matthew 24: verses 3 through 51. The Signs of His coming, He tell us about many things that will take place near the end time, even Now we see these things happening, these are Signs that let us know of His soon coming, and I`m sure you are seeing & hearing about many of these signs being fulfilled now, everyday, just as I, and billions of others are. So let us read, believe, study and obey GODS word the (Holy Bible), and watch and wait for our soon coming LORD and Saviour. So that we can be ready to go back with Him when He returns. Dear one, Never feel that God is not on time, His time is not limited as ours is, II Peter 3: 8 tells us: not to be ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (unquote). I pray you will take time to read all of ST. MATTHEW 24: vs 1 thru 51. it will surely answer your question.

Rev.17:5; this is the image of the beast. ?You can read the headline: "Pope's dream of healing Christian rift still a distant glimmer" in Enterprise Record dated: Sunday June 12, 2005.
This will set a worldwide event of church and state where there is going to be religious persecution for them that don't follow Catholic teachings, but if they read Daniel 7:25; 8:12; they would know these teachings are false. God warns his people in Rev.18:4 "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye not receive her plagues."

In the coming prophecies, you will see Rev.17:12-14 come alive in Nebuchadnezzar's Dream in Daniel 2. These will be 10 national rulers giving their support to a coming union of church & state in Europe, which will aspire to world dominance. After an interlude of apparent peace and prosperity, this system will plunge the whole world into a nightmare. That's why Jesus has to come back, he has to save the world from total destruction. Matthew 24:21,22,29,30

Sequence of events--
Before Jesus comes back; this will be happening: MATT.24:15-22
Desolation in Jerusalem,
2THESS.2:4 Pope in Holy Place,
REV.15 & 16 (7 last Plagues),
REV.11:3-7 (2 Witnesses = 1260 days),
REV.12:6 (woman-church fled in wilderness = 1260 days),
EZEKIEL 37:12; REV.17:14 (make war with Jesus)

When Jesus Returns--
MATT.24:27; 26:64; 1THESS.4:16-17; MATT.24:37-44; 1THESS.5:2,4,8; MATT.25:31-34; 13:36-43; 24:30-31; ZECHARIAH 14:1-5; 8:1-18; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; ISAIAH 61:4; 24:1,21,22; ZECH.12:8-9; ISAIAH 65:8-12; 66:15-16; REV.6:11-17; DAN.7:27; REV.1:6-7; 5:10; 11:15; MATT.5:3,5,10; 2CHRON.2:6; 6:18; PSALM 37:9-11; 115:16; 1COR.15:51-53; ISAIAH 63:7; 11:4; JER.4:16-27; 25:9-31; REV.20:9; ISAIAH 2:2-4; REVELATION 2:26; 16:14-21; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 2COR.5:1-10 (JUDGEMENT), REV.20:10-15; JOEL 2:30-32; 3:2,12,14,16,18; ISAIAH 66:1,22; HEB.12:22; REV.3:12; 21 & 22; MATT.12:32; 2PETER 3:7-13 (HEAVENS WILL PASS WITH GREAT NOISE; NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH), ISAIAH 25:8 (WIPE AWAY TEARS); REV.7:14-17 (GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS, LIVING FOUNDATIONS OF WATER). end.

Jesus told his deciples that concerning His return is not under his authority but of the Father. But Jeus gave some signs about His return. Mat 24:3 continue the verse .The apostles asked about the signs of his coming. there would be famines, wars, earthquakes, the love of many will become cold. There will rise false prophets and false Christs.

The Bible says that as it was in the days of Noah, (Matthew 24:38) so it will be when He comes again.
How was it in Noahs days? Genesis 6: 5-8. I'm only quoting parts here.
"The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The Lord was grieved... His heart was filled with pain. So the Lord said "I will wipe out mankind... But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord....Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time," (***me talking*** I love this part***) "and he walked with God."
I'm not going to worry about when He's coming back, I'm going to enjoy walking with God, every day, and then whenever He comes, I'll be ready.
About the waiting, He wants everyone to come to know Him, just waiting on that "one more person" I presume.

But who's to say what's logical.Certainly Jesus wasn't.But his life still remains as controversial as ever.Check the New Testament.Luke 21 I believe is where He gave certain signs to look for(other books as well)He did say to be watchful because it could come on you like a "thief in the night".I don't believe it's our job to predict His return,just be busy when He does.

Mar 13:32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Only the Father knows the day and hour of the Son's return.

But He gave us His word and lots of prophecies and signs so that we could discern the season. I'm guessing and hopeful that it will be pretty soon. Maranatha!!

Jesus is probably here on Earth now and she is shaking her head at how her so called followers are using her name for discrimination and their own agenda, then desided to give us a few more years to figure out about the fifth element, you know, love.

Nobody returns!
It is one way ticket!
It is one more myth on this earth!
Meaningless births and deaths!
Your question itself is illogical.
