WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE SECOND COMING? Jesus made numerous statements about this. He told the Jewish leaders that THEY would personally see his return (Matthew 26:64; cf. Matthew 23:29-39). He told his disciples that his return would be while some of them were still alive (Matthew 10:23; 16:27-28). He told his disciples that he would return in their generation (Luke 21:22, 32). He told his disciples that the all of the events surrounding his Second Coming were “about to happen” (Luke 21:36, Young’s Literal Translation). He told John that the time of his return was “near” and “soon” (Revelation 1:1-3; 22:6-20). Paul told the Thessalonians to whom he wrote that they would be alive at the Second Coming (1 Thessalonians 4:15, 17). The writer of Hebrews said that Jesus’ return would happen in a “very, very little while” and “without delay” (Hebrews 10:37). James said the Second Coming of Jesus was “at hand” (James 5:7-8). How could this be any clearer? Do you realize that there are over 100 passages in the New Testament like these—demanding that the Second Coming was imminent in the first century? Were Jesus and the writers of the New Testament false prophets? For an explanation, see my articles here: prophecyquestions.wordpress/2013/02/02/articles-by-charles-meek
