Why Hasn't Jesus Returned ?

[Kosherboy]

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" Luke 13:34-35

We should start a world campaign which of course needs to start in Israel, saying "Blessed is He who comes In The Name Of The Lord" pass it on to all you sites, Shalom

Brother Alex,

Matthew Henry gives this interpretation for that verse..
"but let us learn thankfully to welcome, and to profit by all who come in the name of the Lord, to call us to partake of his great salvation. "

Bro. Alex- i believe the trumpet is being polished up in preparation even now. i feel an urging in my spirit every day now- to hurry to finish what i can for Him!! time is short--if we only knew how close the coming was, we would not cease in our attempts to reach everyone we can. as the song says-- "Is that footsteps on the clouds I hear? I'm listening closely for the day He may appear! I feel Him drawing nearer; the signs are getting clearer. Is that footsteps on the cloudsI hear?"

Bro. Alex- i believe the trumpet is being polished up in preparation even now. i feel an urging in my spirit every day now- to hurry to finish what i can for Him!! time is short--if we only knew how close the coming was, we would not cease in our attempts to reach everyone we can. as the song says-- "Is that footsteps on the clouds I hear? I'm listening closely for the day He may appear! I feel Him drawing nearer; the signs are getting clearer. Is that footsteps on the cloudsÂ*I hear?Â*"

Not all of the signs have been given prior to his coming. There are many signs yet to be seen. Yet nobody knows when he will come. He will come as a thief in the night. That is why you need to keep yourselves ready for that time. Remember the parable of the 10 virgins. Do not be like the 5 who procrastinated their preparations, because when the bride groom came they were not ready.

Amen Bill,
no doubt we are getting closer to a one world government..

no doubt are nation is growing more liberal everyday and getting farther from God..yet in the Polls 60 per cent of Americans think Obama is not qualified to run our country..then what on earth possessed 60 % to vote for him[&o]

no doubt Israel is hated more than ever and countries are teaming up to crush that little country..yet not knowing ,,only hastening the big and final war.

No doubt there is a strong satanic spirit batling hard against God's people to tempt them to leave the God that brought them out of Egypt..Teh spirit of Lust and materialistic idolotry is everywhere ..

And has anyone got a clue on the number of Earthquakes we 've had in the last 10 years?

Is anyone keeping up with the ground breaking project going on in Israel to build the next temple..

What about our present finantial situation..I'm sure eventually someone will come up with a great plan..A mark on each person's hand or head,,you know ..like a credit card that won't get lost..What a beastly idea.[&o]

If I may suggest that we all change our signatures to that verse.
"Blessed is He Who Comes in The NAme of The Lord"

[cataway]

he has returend ,its just not what you expected ,the same was true when he walked the earth as a man he was not what they expected and he was rejected .

[Kosherboy]

Oi Vey Cataway!


Jesus is going to return to earth. I pray very soon. He said that before he comes"”periodically throughout history"”some people would think he has already come.
[blockquote]
If they say to you, "Look, he is in the wilderness," do not go out. If they say, "Look, he is in the inner rooms," do not believe it. (Matthew 24:26)
[/blockquote]
Then he gave two reasons not to believe such rumors.
The first is that his coming will be globally unmistakable. It will be as publicly unmistakable as lightning.
[blockquote]
For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:27)
[/blockquote]
The second reason for not believing these rumors is that he will come like vultures come on a corpse.
[blockquote]
Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. (Matthew 24:28)
[/blockquote]
When the world is as ready for judgment as road kill is for the vultures, then he will come in great wrath.
[blockquote]
The Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. (2 Thessalonians 1:7-8)
[/blockquote]
This will not be private, secret, or pleasant for unbelievers. He will come "œon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory"� (Matthew 24:30). And the judgment will be like vultures sweeping in on the corpse of human rebellion.
