For your sake I'm glad He has yet to come. Read on and may God grant you the wisdom that leads to salvation in Christ in whose name I pray for you, amen!
2 Peter 3:1 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
4 They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation."
5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

So? It was well over 2000 years between the fall of man and His first visit. It was even more than 2000 years from God's calling of Abraham to the coming of Christ. Why be so arrogant as to assume that we have it figured out? If you have faith in God, you'll just have to patiently wait - it'll happen sooner or later.

BELOVED, BE NOT IGNORANT OF THIS ONE THING, THAT ONE DAY IS WITH THE LORD AS A THOUSAND YEAR, AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY . 2 PETER 3:8-10 THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING THIS PROMISE AS SOME MEN COUNT SLACKNESS; SO WE ARE IN THE 3RD DAY!!! HE IS STILL WAITING ON PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO GET IT RIGHT. BE BLESS!!!

I agree with the others that DO believe---that He IS coming back!
AND that I am going to go with Him when He returns!
Does He live in your heart?

Jesus will be returning, but now is not the right time. When God thinks it is the right time for the return, He will allow it to happen. I certainly do wish it was now.
