The Bible tells us at Matthew 24:26 "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angles of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." Its not up to Christ but his Father God to say when Christ will come and bring the Kingdom of God to all humanity.

The prime interest rate is too high.

Nobody would believe he is who he said he is! He is probably that guy at the off ramp pan-handling talking to himself!
-
because He is not bound by time, we can only think of it as a finite space of time, but to God and Jesus, they can see it all at once, they are not bound by it since God created it, so it seems like a long time to us, but really its less then the blink of an eye
-
HIS wish is that None should perish....HE loves all of us so much that HE is MERCIFUL and waits for everyone to have the chance to accept HIM as their LORD and SAVIOR. But HE also is waiting for HIS FATHER GOD to tell HIM to go get HIS children.....

What makes you think he's not here already?

Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Because He states only GOD knows when his return is to be.

Heaven is large. It will take many people to fill it. And the earth only produces so many candidates at a time. Be patient. I think we're almost there.

-
According to the Bible... Not even He knows the time. It will happen when it is supposed to happen and not in a twinkling of an eye before that.
-
Things have to get a lot worse yet before he will come back.
-
Because he is dead, and he's not coming back. You should've realised that by now!

He can't come before the Antichrist is in power and He's not even born yet

Do you unbelievers know He knew you'd be like this before mankind even took place? Nothing escapes Him, and as you increase your mockery, you are only really heaping judgment on yourselves. What will be your attitude when you're going through His judgment, "God help me?" Like He would desire to help those who constantly hate and mock. I gaurantee you you wouldn't be doing it if you really knew what is coming. One would be wise to tuck tail even if you're not going to get saved. By all means though, get saved!
-
From the perspective of eternity, it has not been long at all. He is in no hurry.
-
Savouring the anticipation? ;-)
-
He's dead and dead is final. He can't come back. Same as Caesar. Dead is dead is dead.

It might seem like a delay, but the false prophets who predicted His return at an early time needed to be silenced. With that being said in history, God patiently waits for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."

Luke 21:24 mentions "The appointed times of the nations". According to 'Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words' (1981, Vol. 4, p138), the Greek word used for this phrase "signified a fixed or definite period, a season, sometimes an opportune or seasonable time." This word is used with reference to future times or occasions within God's arrangement or timetable, particularly in relation to Christ's presence and his Kingdom. This means Jesus isn't postponing his return, he is waiting for Jehovah to say the time is right. Then all the prophecies will happen, one right after the other. To learn more, go to JW.org.

The time period between the time Adam was placed on earth until Jesus arose from the grave, According to the book, "The Forgotten Books of Eden" was five and a half days. We have now come about two days since the resurrection of Jesus. (one day equals one thousand years).I do not believe there will be much more than two to two and a half days until Jesus returns. We have to understand God's time sequences. The book "Cave of Treasures" uses "weeks" to indicate the five and a half still meaning five thousand five hundred years. God always has a time table in days or weeks.

God desires all to attain repentance, he does not desire anyone to be destroyed (2 Pet 3:9). God is giving us this time to find Him, change our ways, repent, and remain faithful despite trials and tribulations. Also, Matthew 24:14 explains that once the news of the Kingdom has been preached to all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
-
He got here yesterday. But, after a couple of complaints of him spreading the "News," he was taken in on a 48hr psychiatric hold.
-
The Bible mentions a couple of reasons. 2Peter 3:9 explains that God is not slow concerning his promise, he is patient because he desires all to retain repentance. Matthew 24:14 teaches us that the end will come once the good news has been distributed throughout the earth.
