What is taking Jesus Christ so long to return to us?

Answer 1

He was just here last week. He took all of the good people up to heaven with him.

It was on the news, there are no more Buddhists left anywhere.

Love and blessings Don

Answer 2

It is interesting. Jesus said were I am going I go to prepare a place for you. He follows by adding that in His Fathers house there are many mansions, or dwelling places and He says He goes to prepare a place for us (believers).
If you look at Hebrew culture, when a man took a wife he would add on a place for him and her to his fathers house. He would begin the work but only his father not he judged when the add on was ready. His friends or grooms men would send word to the soon to be wife about the signs of the times (the progression of the building), and they would say the roof is almost finished it should be any day now. Finally the father would tell his son to go get his bride and the two parties (grooms men along with the groom and the brides maids along with the bride) would meet in the streets. There the groom would take up his bride and take her to the place he had prepared for her.
This would be followed by a 7 day honey moon in the place he prepared for them, where neither one would leave. They would be brought food and gifts to there place. After 7 days they would come out of the dwelling place and the father would throw them a great wedding supper.
The point is that not the Son, only the Father knows when that time will be. Jesus is busy working and when everything is just right God will say to Him, go get your bride (the church).
So live as though He won't come back for a long time, but be ready to go at any moment.
Hope this is helpfull.
God bless!

Answer 3

Jesus is ready and waiting for the Word from God to come take us home, but many people are asking for just a little more time,because they have loved ones that are not yet saved. I believe God is being merciful by giving people more time to see the error of their ways. We must be patient. In due time, Jesus will return,and all we've suffered will be left behind us forever.

Answer 4

God wants to give everyone a chance to repent and be saved.

2 Peter 3:3 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.

Answer 5

*smiles*....to the Lord, a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years, a day. By His counting, Jesus has only been "gone" from earth a couple of days.

Don't worry. In His perfect timing, you will see the greatest victory in all of time, when Jesus Christ returns to rule and to reign.

Answer 6

Because god is a fable and Jesus may have been a collaboration of many people. He will not return. People have been saying his return is right around the corner for the last 2000 years, sense right after his death. Even Paul thought that Jesus will return soon. The fact is Jesus is dead, there is no God. No return. Why not do something meaningful with your life instead of waiting on something that will not happen.

Answer 7

Think of it this way, Jesus is taking as long as the Bible prophesies tell us He will. If you think about it, time in God's mind and in His own time must be extremely expanse. The Creator of this world would have to have a pretty big clock in order to have time for everything He does in a day. For all the miracles He provides. Our clocks must be small in comparison to His. We live only around 80 years on average, and He has lived since the beginning of time. We are not running according to our time clock, but according to His. It takes the hands on His clock a lot longer to move from lets says noon to five than does ours. So have patience in the coming of the Lord, He will come when His clock strikes the hour of judgment. Keep your faith in our Lord and remember your not alone in your wait.

Answer 8

The Son of Man will not come in glory until God allows a great deceiving power to seduce those who have approved wrongdoing enmasse around the world. (source: Bible) This deceiving power will be the last antiChrist, worse than Hitler and the Nazis and worse than radical Muslims. Hints show that this deceiving power will seduce many who love the darkness and allow them to expose their inner thoughts, and then the Son of Man will come in judgement of the wicked. The works of the deceiving power are already evident in our world, in the killing of the unborn, in involuntary euthanasia of the handicapped and the free sexual license promoted and in the powers of the paranormal and the occult that many now seek, the darkness rather than the light. It only waits for the uniter of the various evils we see to appear and fool the masses.

Answer 9

Because in the book of enoch it say for the lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. Trust me the beginnings of birth pains are being felt around the world. Rivers are drying up, moral decay, money all becoming one, all the people becoming one. Sunny days in the winter and snowy days in the summer. You better watch out.

Answer 10

No dead person has ever returned. And no one ever will.
So why are some people still insisting that Jehoshua ben David (also known as "Jesus") will be the exception from the norm and natural law?
