Did Jesus Really Say He Was "Coming Soon"?

"Jesus is coming soon!" is a common expression in the evangelical church; but given that it has been 2,000 years since He left, skeptics frequently throw this expression out and ask "What gives?" Even stand-up comics sometimes use this in their routines to make fun of Christians and the Bible.

So what's going on? Is the Bible wrong? Is the Second Coming of Christ just another empty religious prophecy? Or is there another answer?

  1. Thanks for reminding us to be watchful. I don't believe in imminence idea; there is much prophecy to occur before Jesus returns for the church and to show HIs glory. But in anticipation of hopefully being alive(and not martyred) well into the tribulation years, every time i go outside, I look up and tell Jesus that I hope to actually be a person to experience the sky being darkened and then brilliantly lit up with His Glorious Appearance. It keeps me grounded and humbled now.
