CHRIST NEVER DID SAY THAT HE WASCOMING SOON

..from the free commentary which you can download athttp://sites.google.com/site/freecommentary

Summary:Christ always said his return would be delayed, and that we might need to wait a very longtime before we saw him again. He said this repeatedly, in many different ways.Those who think he should come 'soon' at any moment, are misinterpreting the word for'unexpectedly and suddenly' (like a thief arriving verylate into the night).Those who think he is a failed prophet because he did not return within one 'generation'are misinterpreting the word for the 'race' of the chosen people, and fail to realise that he

was quoting Jeremiah the prophet.Those who think that his return will be at the first resurrection (before the finalresurrection a thousand or so years later) are ignoring many statements that he will raise

us up at the lastday, at the lasttrump, after the defeat of the lastenemy. Until then he isreigning on the throne at the right hand side of God in heaven, until the first heaven andearth pass away.There is also a mistranslated Greek idiom 'to rule overthe earth', wrongly renderedliterally, to 'rule on the earth', to confuse all those who want to be part of the firstresurrection.

When Christ told his followers to watch for his return, his gist was 'because my return willbe delayed, there will be many false Christs coming in my name, but you must constantlybe wary and keep watch to guard against imposters'.Making the imminent return of Christ a crucial dogma, is a sign of cultish beliefs.

We all should reconsider the bulk of his words about his return, and not cling to just a fewmisunderstood lines.He said he would come to take vengeance on the False Prophet, and the False Prophet withsigns and wonders has not yet even appeared.

THE BIG DELAY

Christ and the New Testament writers always said there would be a delay.

Mat 24:48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;

Mat 25:5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Mat 25:19 Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh areckoning with them.

2Th 2:2-3 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet betroubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of theLord is just at hand; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except thefalling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

2Pe 3:3-4 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery,walking after their own lusts, 4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for,from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the

beginning of the creation.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but islongsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should cometo repentance... 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even asour beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;

Rev 6:10 and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy andtrue, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, thatthey should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren,

who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled their course.

Rev 7:3 saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, tillwe shall havesealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.

Rev 10:6 and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven andthe things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea

and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:[this implies a delay up to that time]

Having to wait for Yahweh is not a new theme:

Psa 25:3 Yea, none that waitfor thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shamethat deal treacherously without cause.

Psa 27:14 Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, waitthoufor Jehovah.

Psa 37:34 Waitfor Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit theland: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Isa 25:9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waitedfor him,and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waitedfor him, we will be glad and rejoicein his salvation.

PLACES where the Scriptures APPEAR to say that Christ's return will occursoon

Look more carefully at...

Heb 10:37 For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.

It is quoting...

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward theend, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will notdelay.

'No delay' is a bad translation, obviously, for something which tarries until the end, which

must be waited for. You can see that 'no delay' must mean that there will be a delay, but nocancellation.The problem is translational, a mistake of the editors, not of God's.

The Old Testament can explain this puzzling imagery about 'watching':

Neh 4:23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard thatfollowed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one went with his weapon to the

water.Neh 4:17 They all builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves; every

one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;

Sometimes the vocabulary can be explained bythe imagery used that of theWatchman and Warner. As such it may refer to a select few prophets.

Hab 2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth tosee what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.

Putting together these images shows us that he might be also talking of a Passover nightvigil -- another window into unexpected and unfamiliar interpretations.

SITUATIONS telling us of CHRIST'S SWIFT, SUDDEN and UNEXPECTEDRETURN

(This is easily mistranslated as 'soon')

Christ comes like a thief:

Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch thethiefwas coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be

broken through. Luk_12:39-40

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shallpass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, andthe earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that arefallen asleep in Jesus will God bring [take as plunder] with him...17 then we that arealive, that are left, shall together with them be caught[plundered]up in the clouds, tomeet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thiefinthe night... 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as

a thief:

Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep it, andrepent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know

what hour I will come upon thee.

Rev 16:15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth hisgarments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.)

Christ comes as suddenly as pains upon a woman in childbirth:

1Th 5:3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh uponthem, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.


5/14

Christ comes as suddenly as lightning crosses from horizon to horizon:

Mat 24:27 For as the lightningcometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto thewest; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

Christ comes like the sudden destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and the suddenness

of the flood:

Mat 24:37-39 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking,marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 andthey knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming ofthe Son of man.

Luk 17:28-30 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank,they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 but in the day that Lot went outfrom Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30

after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

There will not even be time to collect anything:

Mat 24:16-18 then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 17 let him thatis on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house: 18 and let himthat is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

The final destruction of Babylon takes 'one hour':

Rev 18:10 standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city,

Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

COMING 'SOON'

The following is an example of a misleading translation...

WEB Rev 22:6 He said to me, These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of thespirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which musthappen soon.

The Greek meaning is not 'soon'. The Greek'tachos' means 'quickly,suddenly':

"tachosa briefspace (of time), that is, (with G1722 prefixed) in haste: - + quickly, + shortly, +speedily."

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants,even the things which must shortly [suddenly] come to pass: and he sent and signifieditby his angel unto his servant John;

If your version translates 'coming soon' as 'to happen soon', it is in error. It is not a simplematter of alternatives and synonyms, but ofword usage in contextdefining the intendedmeaning...

70 years were to pass from the time when Isaiah prophesied until the sudden destructionof Babylon; and according to Revelation its complete fulfilment is still waiting!

CHRIST is NOT a FAILED PROPHET

Many people think that Christ was well-intentioned but that he didn't really knoweverything. They argue like this:

CASE NUMBER 1

'Christ said he would come in his glory and he didn't'...

Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here (i.e. Peter,James and John read on), who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son ofman coming in his kingdom.

..from which many people conclude:

'Those people who heard that, died, before Christ returned. Therefore what Christ saidwas incorrect.He claimed something he couldn't fulfill...or didn't know what he was talking about, or...'

BUT... It did happen... read on to the next verse and hear what happened to Peter,James and John on the Mount of Transfiguration. All three synoptic gospels follow thisprediction, immediately, with its immediate fulfilment...

Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John hisbrother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: 2 and he was transfiguredbefore them; and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as thelight... 5 While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and

behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am wellpleased; hear ye him.

John later wrote that he had seen His glory:

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory,

glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

And Peter too said that he had witnessed 'Christ's coming':

2Pe 1:16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known untoyou the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of hismajesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was

borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I amwell pleased: 18 and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we werewith him in the holy mount.

The Greek word for 'coming' is equally a 'presence' or 'coming near', so English speakersget misled by its unfamiliar meaning.

families which Jehovah did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise mypeople, that they should be no more a nation before them. 25 Thus saith Jehovah: Ifmy covenant of day and night standnot, if I have not appointed the ordinances ofheaven and earth; 26 then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David myservant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac,and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.

Compare that with what Jesus said...

Mat 24:34-35 Verily I say unto you, This generation [i.e. nation] shall not pass away,till all these things be accomplished. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my

words shall not pass away.

Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earthdistress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

This is an affirmation that Israel will survive the distress of the last days, as is also

prophesied in other places. A 'generation' may 'pass away', but a 'race' continues muchlonger. Israel is set to survive until the very end times, and Jesus was reiterating that

prophecy --which therefore supports the interpretation opposite to 'comingsoon'.

A major influence on interpreting what Christ said, comes from the Islamic Koran, andother apocryphal scripture which preceded it. For instance 'Enoch' predicted the end

within a few more specified generations, long since past. The Koran pushes the 'soon-coming' end of the world, in unambiguous terms: 'The end is nigh'. It is easy to see that

Allah did not fulfil his time of vengeance, as Muhammad said he would, but it is not so easyto see that our translations follow the Arabic Koran and people's preconceptions, rather

than the Greek dictionary, and Biblical contextual word-usage.

JESUS WON'T RETURN till after the PERSECUTION by the END-TIMESFALSE PROPHET

Jesus will return in order to avenge himself on the False Prophet

The purpose of Christ's return is to free his people from the grip of the False Prophet, andto punish the False Prophet and his followers. Jesus' return cannot 'just around thecorner', because there is as yet no False Prophet doing signs to lead people into war. The

following scriptures show that many of the Believers actually appear to be dead, i.e. killedby the Beast and the False Prophet (described in Rev_13:7, Rev_13:15). I.e. There must bea huge persecution first before Christ returns.

Mat 24:22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved:but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened... 24 For there shall arise falseChrists, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to leadastray, if possible, even the elect... 30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of manin heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son ofman coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall sendforth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect

from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Luk 18:7-8 And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet


10/14

he is longsuffering over them? 8 I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily.Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

1Th 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with thevoice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall risefirst; 17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in

the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.1Th 5:3 When they are saying, Peace and safety [the words of a false prophetJer_8:10-11,Eze_13:9-10, Eze_13:16], then sudden destruction cometh upon them, astravail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

2Th 2:8-12 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shallslay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of hiscoming; 9 even he, whose coming is according to the working ofSatanwith all powerand signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them thatperish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11

And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:

12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure inunrighteousness.

Rev 16:13-15 And I sawcoming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth ofthe beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it werefrogs: 14 for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings ofthe whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the

Almighty. 15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth hisgarments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.)

Those in the First Resurrection do not 'Reign on the Earth', but Rule withChrist in Heaven.

This is the verse which gives us the misleading impression:

Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on theearth.

'On/Upon' is a serious mistranslation here. This is the sole supporting verse for the ideathat the millennium rule occurs 'on earth', that Christ returns to earth to 'reign with' thesaints before the final return. It obscures our thinking so that we cannot read the

otherwise clear picture of Christ and the saints reigning with Christfrom heaven 'overtheearth'.

The Greek word 'epi' has many translations, with the key one being 'upon', or more loosely,'on'. Often it not surprisingly means 'over', but in abstract phrases it loses its physicalspatial idea in favour of 'superiority to'. Therefore, to 'reign on the earth' is better rendered'to reign over the earth' with no implied contact with earth.In Greek, you 'Rule upon Jerusalem', 'reign upon your subjects' 'have authority upon yourenemies' 'have power upon someone'. It has a sensible resonance with being 'seated upon'a throne (of judgment, etc). Thus when the woman 'sits upon the beast', it is made parallelin thought to her 'ruling upon (over) the kings'.

There are several such extended usages of 'epi' to mean 'over', in Greek and Hebrew, like to'mourn upon a city's ruin', 'get honour upon your opponents', 'glory upon' yourachievements, 'look upon' a defeated foe (triumph over), 'rise up upon an enemy


11/14

(overcome)'.

Ruling with Christ in Heaven

Christ Jesus will be 'in heaven' until the full restoration...

Act 3:21 whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things,whereof God spake by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been from of old.

The joy that occurs when the devil is expelled from heaven is for those in heaven. Thekingdom and authority of Christ is therefore in heaven, not upon earth, at this early stage:

Rev 12:10-12 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation,and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for theaccuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of

their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, Oheavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devilis gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

This 'Woe' corresponds with either the First Woe (the Fifth Trumpet) or all 3 'Woes'; andthe 'short time', in Revelation, is after the Millennium when Satan is released from the

Abyss. The royal authority which is accompanied by rejoicing in heaven, corresponds towhen the Devil is 'down'.

It simply makes no sense to mourn on earth because his saints are reigning (!) 'on earth'.The verse does not say that the saints are even reigning with Christ, i.e. resurrected (to

heaven or on earth), but it does preclude the kingdom and authority of Christ on earth,until he returns to earth to wrest back his rightful inheritance.

Here is an Old Testament reference to the reign of Christfrom heaven over the earth:

Psa 110:1 Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thineenemies thy footstool.

Here is one of the many New Testament references to the same thing:

Act 7:56 and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on

the right hand of God.

Act_1:6-7 tells us that the kingdom of God on Earth is not simply the coming of the HolySpirit.

Act 1:6-8 They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dostthou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for

you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. 8But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my

witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermostpart of the earth.

Those who reign in the millennium have been killed by the beast. Here they are seen to beascending into heaven:


12/14

Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh upout of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them... 11 Andafter the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and theystood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. 12 And theyheard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up

into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

'Going up into heaven in the cloud' is parallel with 1Th_4:16-17 quoted above -- 'trump ofGod' 'caught up in the clouds'.

Eph 2:6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit [=reign] with him in theheavenlyplaces, in Christ Jesus:

Expecting the sudden but imminent return of Christ is very much associatedwith cult doctrine

For them the return is not so much unexpected as 'prophesied', and they may even put adate on it. Sound doctrine would probably say 'Expect to die in Christ' rather than 'Expectto be alive when Christ returns'. That is, after all, what has already happened to the manymillions of believers who have all read the same scriptures about Christ's return.

And for instance, how can the thousand year reign on earth precede the 'final' coming ofChrist? Even if you have an opinion on that, how can Christ return until the Man ofLawlessness is revealed?

2Th 2:1-6 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus

Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shakenfrom your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as fromus, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: forit will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the sonof perdition, 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God orthat is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now

ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

Luk 18:8 I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Sonof man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Has the rule of the Beast (even started, or) wiped out any resistance from the saints? Havethe plagues of Revelation happened yet? E.g. a third of the freshwaters turning bitter? Itsimply doesn't match reality, that Christ could return any time, as if everything else hadbeen already fulfilled. Yahweh's prophecies do have a habit of making sense, not nonsense.

Since Satan isn't overcome until after the millennium is over, it seems his final return isat least a thousand years away.

Rev 20:2-3 And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil andSatan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it,

and sealed itover him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousandyears should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.


13/14

Has history arrived at this point yet?...

Dan 12:6-7 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of theriver, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? 7 And I heard the man clothedin linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and hisleft hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time,

times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power ofthe holy people, all these things shall be finished.Rev 10:5-6 And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted uphis right hand to heaven, 6 and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who createdthe heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that aretherein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:

Since the last trumpet is a very noisy affair, as witnessed in many places in the Bible2Pe_3:10, Rev_16:17-18, Heb_12:26,we would have to explain why no-one has heard theprevious six trumpets Rev_8:2+Rev_8:5. The obvious explanation is that they have not yet

begun.

Jesus was explicit about Christian resurrection:

Joh 6:39-40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hathgiven me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 For this is the

will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, shouldhave eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Job was explicit about the final resurrection:

Job 14:12 So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not

awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.

It is probably the widespread cultish desire to be part of thefirstresurrection,a thousand years earlier, that makes people wish that '144,00o Israelites' actually means'huge numbers of Gentile Christians', in some sort of figurative double-talk. The other wayto be part of the first resurrection is to consider that 'those martyrs beheaded in their

victory over the Beast' must refer to billions of Christianpew-sitters in past and presentages. Either way this view demands that Christ's return is (somewhere between the 4th and5th trump --) just before the millennium (and that the Beast's reign is figurative and ever-present).

If we accept that our Christian resurrection is as advertised, at the lasttrump, and that wemostly are notpart of the greatly blessed chosen elite raised earlier, then we can more andmore happily give up on pre-millennialism, imminent adventism, mystical interpretation,confusion and self-elevation.

CONCLUSION

The Bible teaches that Christ said he would be a long time before he returned, suddenly.Not understanding this has led to some wild claims about Christ being a failed prophet,and to outsiders rightly suspecting something wrong about how Christians preach the end

of the world, and how they believe in some sort ofmysticalreality. The church shouldmake every effort to distance itself from unreasonableness, mysticism, confusion andunreality. It needlessly brings the veracity of the Bible into question. The Christian faith is


14/14

the most reasonable thing on the planet. But ill-founded distortions of the messagediscredit its reasonableness in the eyes of others. Having a faith does not give us licence to

believe every strange thing we can imagine.

If Christ 'fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies, as a good start, but failed the crucial testof getting it right thereafter' (a not very coherent theory), then there remain no credible

prophecies of the end of the world, we lose all hope, and the way is laid open for a falsereligion to fill in the gap.

But reading the Bible properly shows us that Christ is doing exactly what hesaid he would.
