Is it possible to use the bible to prove the return of Jesus is imminent? Yes, it is. In order to do this a person must show a lot of respect for His exact words. Respect for Jesus is only achieved by caring about what He says. For instance, look what Jesus said in response to the murder of John the Baptist. He said, Elijah will come and get things restored and ready. He used a future word when He said Elijah will come. This means a bible reader should look into the scripture for words and acts that are specifically written for the nazarite to fulfill. The words are there for people to see. When all the statements are activated by the Elijah Jesus spoke about, His word is fulfilled and somebody came to get things restored and ready. This important act shows the bible was prepared so the role Jesus describes can be fulfilled. This is exactly how to care what Jesus said and what it means to care about His words. When this is done, everybody here should believe Jesus is the Messiah, and that His return has been carefully planned out. So His return is certain. It is certainly not possible to know the exact year of His return. Jesus says no one knows but God. Mark 13.32 says, But of that day or that hour not a single person knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. So if somebody says they know the year of the last day of this age period they are glorifying themselves over Jesus.
Jesus did not want people to care about what was the last year of this age period. Instead, Jesus gave some very important leads for bible readers to follow. One of them is He says He has a sign. Another important statement by Jesus which is directly related to the statement about His sign is found in Matthew 17.11. There Jesus said, Elijah does come and will get everything restored and ready. In this statement, Jesus used the name of Elijah in a future tense. Jesus said this soon after John the Baptist was murdered. So it not possible for John to get things restored and ready anymore. A different nazarite is needed at the end of the age to fulfill the word of Jesus.
Therefore, what is the sign of Jesus? In order for His different statements to agree with each other His sign needs to be a nazarite who gets things restored and ready. So, the bible prophets have to build scripture that is designed specifically for the nazarite to use to get things restored and ready in order for the words of Jesus to come true. If this exact act is built into the word of the prophets, it provides bible readers a chance to see the sign of Jesus when it appears. It is very easy for people to see a nazarite come and fulfill scripture that is made so only he can fulfill it. When this exact act takes place, then His sign is activated. The fact the prophets built the exact thing He needs for both His words to come true show the reign of Jesus is imminent. When the relationship between God and the nazarite is fully understood, it will be easy to see why Jesus wants to affiliate with this action.
Here is His statement about His sign. It is located in Matthew 24:29-31. Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, even from one end of the universe to the other.
His other quotes, and the quotes of other biblical figures, reveal what He means by this. Their quotes will reveal He certainly does have a sign.
Many biblical figures were used by God to contribute to the building of this sign.
The view from above has always been the arrival of a biblical figure at the end of the age who is anointed by Jacob, Moses and Jesus will put an end to the fighting among all the weaklings down below.
Genesis 49:11 agrees with this view. There it says about the messiah that the acts He performed previously will lead to His return in the future. This is a great strategy by Jacob. It strongly associates Jesus with the choice vine. The words of the choice vine are about an intervention against murder of biblical people. This gives Jesus direct involvement with the bible’s strategy against murder. The sign of Jesus is the activation of this strategy against murder. This fact eliminates the argument of those who say Jesus can not be the messiah because He did not end the murder of Jews. Those who make this accusation against Jesus pay no attention to the bible’s strategy against murder. The word of Jacob links the messiah with the action of the vine and the choice vine. Do His accusers say this? No. They ignore the words of Jacob altogether. When they do this they eliminate themselves as a true authority figure. They do not at all successfully eliminate Jesus as the messiah. As a matter of fact, only somebody who has been here before can fulfill the great words of Jacob.
