Or perhaps God started taking meds and Jesus disappeared.

Nice theory, but not reality...thinking, though, & that's always good...
Jesus has already returned for another life here since, and it had nothing to do with what was expected of him by religious factions, and everything to do with his Self...just like us all. I don't believe he will be doing another, at least not here, any time soon...He has been everything there is to be.
The trinity you refer to as D.I.D. is actually a way to describe the Godhead...The Father, the Mother, and their creation, which is their combined reflection of pure Love.

Jesus has infuriated many people. From not attending there parties to not paying them back for shoddy business deals. Something tells me he's scared!

Matthew 24: 3 While he was sitting upon the Mt of Olives, the disciples approached him privately saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence Pa-rou-si'a, means literally,being alongside.] and the conclusion of the system of things?' Many translations vary their renderings of this word. While translating par-rou-si'a as 'presence' in some texts, they more frequently render it as 'coming' This has been the basis for the expression "second coming" or "second advent" with regard to Jesus Christ. Parousia --denotes both an arrival and a consequent presence with. Example: in a greek letter a lady speaks of the necessity of her parousia in a place in order to attend to matters relating to her property there. When used of the return of Christ, at the Rapture of the Church, it signifies not merely his momentary coming for his saints, but his presence with them from that moment until his revelation and manifestation to the world. Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon [revised by H. Jones, Oxford, 1968, p. 1343] shows that parousia is used at times in secular Greek literature to refer to the "visit of a royal or official personage"
Nature of Christ's Parousia: It can be visible or invisible, in- visible is like when God presented himself to Moses, His presence was not in a visible form since Scriptures are clear that "no man has seen God at any time" John 1:18; Exodus 33:20 Many Scriptural accounts illustrate God's power to "be present" invisibly. Since Jesus has been granted all authority in heaven and on the earth' and is the exact representation of {God's} very being, it follows that he should also be able to be invisibly present in a similar manner Matthew 28:18, Hebrews 1: 2, 3: Some on the basis of texts speaking of Jesus' being seen 'coming in clouds with great power and glory" conclude that his presence must be a visible one. Yet, the use of clouds in connection with other divine manifestations suggest invisibility rather than visible. So, too, 'seeing' can refer to figurative sight, perception with the mind and heart. Isaiah 44:18; Jerimiah 5:21; Ezekiel 12: 2, 3; just to name a few.
Evidence weighs against Jesus' presence as being visible, in the apostle Paul;s declaration that the resurrected Jesus "dwells in unapproachable light, whom not one of man has seen or can see/" 1 Timothy 6: 14-16, Jesus could then tell his disciples that " a little longer and the world will behold me no more." Jesus restricted his appearances to his disciples. His ascension to heaven was also seen only by them, not the world, and the angels present assured the disciples that Jesus' return would be in "the same manner" without public display, discerned only by his faithful followers. Acts 1: 1-11 A bad condition of heart coupled with wrong expectations regarding Christ's presence no doubt contributes to the attitude of ridiculers. It was fortold that, in "the last days" they would scoff, saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as from creation's beginning 2 Peter 3: 2-4 also compare Peter 1:16
Men will be aware of what is taking place at "the revelation" of Jesus with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengence upon those who do not know God, [Jehovah ] and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. 2 Thessalonians 1: 7-9 This, still allows for an invisible presence that goes unnoticed by all but the faithful prior to that revelation.

The Bible says that Jesus will return "like thief in the night." No one knows when that will be.
It just isn't time yet in God's time line.

Doubtful.
It's pretty certain the reason jesus hasn't returned is because he DIED a couple thousand years ago...pretty simple.
Peace.

Not at all.
He died and was buried, as all of us will be some day.
