Jesus has returned as He promised He would All of the following scriptures are from the New King James

Bible. Matthew 16:27-28 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. (Rev 22:12) Matthew 24:34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will no means pass away till all these things take place. Mark 9:1 And He said to them, Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power. Mark13:30 Assuredly, I say to you, This generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Luke 9:26-27 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Fathers, and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God. Luke 21:32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants-things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His Angel to His servant John, Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I am coming quickly (soon)! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.

Revelation 10:5-6 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer. Revelation 22:6-7 Then he said to me, These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. Revelation 22:10 And he said to me, Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. Revelation 22:12 And behold, I am coming quickly (soon), and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. (Matt 16:27-28) Revelation 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming quickly. Both the very beginning and ending of Revelation state that the events mentioned were about to happen.

Of course Jesus said But of that day and hour no one knows, (Matthew 24:36 & Mark 13:32), but He also said that His return would be before the end of that generation. Both of these statements are true. When the fact that Jesus Christ did indeed return before the end of the disciples generation, as He promised, is applied, all of these scriptures as well as the prophecies of Daniel, Ezra and Jesus come alive and stand complete on their own two feet. But when the interpretation that Jesus return is sometime yet to come as the church is preaching today, is applied, all of these scriptures are dead with no meaning, and can only be given the illusion of some life when the meanings are distorted or scriptures from other places in the Bible are added. Even then, these prophecies are not complete with many passages left unexplained.

Read, The Kingdom of Heaven is Here Now, Enter It Today to see how these scriptures were fulfilled. Much misunderstanding and confusion comes from the fact that many people and some of the more recent translations of the Bible state that Jesus return would be at the end of the world. When in fact the earlier translations state that His return would be at the end of the Age. One scripture states that it would be at the end of time, but this does not mean the end of the world, just the end of time for that age. The end of the first age was at the flood. The end of the second age was when the Jewish Nation was no longer Gods chosen people, but became equal to all other Nations and people in Gods eyes and at which time Jesus returned to the Jewish people as He promised. As we all know, the end of the world is yet to come, maybe a thousand years or a million years from now. Here again no one knows the day or hour of the end of the earth only God.
