In the Bible it says Jesus won't return until all things are fulfilled but also he can return at any moment?

Question

Just wondering what time frame is correct or if there are two separate comings?

Answer 1

I believe that Jesus is the beginning and end of the salvation of mankind. I believe that once the last man is saved, the last man that will be saved, then Jesus will offer up the kingdom unto his Father. 1Cor. 15

Yet, this not to mistaken with the rapture of the church where Christ comes back before the saints prior to God pouring his judgment upon the world.

As for a time frame, it is difficult to say. I do know the time clock has started with Israel becoming a nation and that this generation will not pass until what is written in Revelations and much of scripture that pertains to this time is fulfilled. So how long is a generation? It is determined by how long a man born in 1948 lives. Suppose the last person of that generation lived to be 120? Then it is possible we have a ways to go. Yet, personally, I don't believe so. For it is written that if God did not shorten the time to his Son's return, no flesh would be saved.

I believe with each year, things are moving faster. I believe that the return of our Lord is even at the door. I believe his return for his bride will occur within the next eight years. Yet, that is my opinion.  

Answer 2

the first thing sounds rong 2 me!

Answer 3

It means we won't know when all things are fulfilled.  

Answer 4

When everything is fulfilled, He can return at any moment heh. So far we've seen many earthquakes happening around the world, and also most Christian persecution in history.

Answer 5

he will physically return when all things are fulfilled (which the book of Revelation talks about it) but he can return non-physically anytime he wants...

Answer 6

I don't think anyone will know when the things are fulfilled.  As for Jesus' return at anytime:  I take it as, be ready...don't wait for the last minute.

Answer 7

There were specific prophecies to be fulfilled before He returned, however, He also wants us to live as if there is no tomorrow and to use the time we're given completely and fully for Him.  

He wants to impress upon us that at any time those prophecies could be fulfilled and we need to be ready.
