There is solid proof in the bible that the return of Jesus is still on because of statements by the prophets that were not fulfilled until recently. This fact helps explain the long absence of Jesus.
Which words in the bible show the return of Jesus is still a logical thing to support?
Isaiah gave some great statements which support those who are still counting on the return of Jesus nearly 2000 years after He left. Isaiah 18 is one of the best chapters in the bible for Christians to use to defend their belief in His return. Here Isaiah says in verse 1, “Woe to the land whirring with wings which is beyond Cush or Ethiopia”. Isaiah is unable to give this land a name because the place he is referring to is beyond his knowledge. The rest of the chapter goes on to say this land is going to be the place where a warning is given to the inhabitants of the earth that a miraculous judgment by God is imminent.
There are several important points to note about this important communication by Isaiah to those who were not yet born at the time he gave this warning.
The first important point is that God intends to give a warning so the death toll is less. Another important point is that unless the warning originates from the country Isaiah describes, it is not biblical. It is also good to note that a worldwide warning is a useless strategy by God unless the the technology is available so everybody could hear the warning quickly. This word by Isaiah shows Jesus cant return unless the technology in the world is much more advanced than it was when Jesus was here. There is another thing for people to focus on. Since the other prophets said a nazarite will be used at the end of the age, it is necessary for the nazarite to come from the country Isaiah is describing in chapter 18 in order for the words of the prophets to agree with each other.
There is some other words prophetic words in the bible which show the advanced technology in the world is a huge factor in the return of Jesus. This in word is found in Joel 2. In verse 30 Joel says, “I will show signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke”.
In this word, Joel is quoting God. Since this word says blood, it is obvious some people are going to die in the air and on the ground. At the time Joel said this, it was not possible for people to die in the air. This verse shows it is necessary for people to be able to die in the air in order for the return of Jesus to become a possibility.
For well over a thousand years Christians have been saying Jesus is going to return in their lifetime. They have always been wrong. These verses in Isaiah and Joel show the problem has been with them and not with the bible. They did not consider the word of these prophets when they were making their calculation. The fact they disregarded the exact strategy in these prophets shows they deserved to be wrong. They were unwittingly disrespecting the strategy of God.
Isaiah helped show what needs to happen in order for the scripture to be fulfilled. Isaiah needs a person to appear who uses the bible well to give a warning in a powerful country divided by many rivers. If a Christian does not factor this into their story, they are misleading.
