Because He never left.
Do you honestly think He will come in riding on clouds? Do you really think that’s going to happen? Or do you think He is standing right next to you, wondering why you can’t see Him?
My friends used to joke with me when I would speak of driving down the road with Jesus sitting in my passenger seat and angels flying next to my car. Do you know how many bad car accidents I was in? Several. Do you know how many people were hurt? Zero.
One of my good friends used to ask me to pray for him when he would drive us on long trips. He was not a Christian, in fact he would make the request as kind of a slight. My friend used to be a very fast driver, and put his cars through several accidents as well….with no injuries. One time we were driving from Reno to Sacramento, and my friend was going 80 in a 65 zone. We were pulled over by a highway patrolman. He asked us to slow down.
Did you ever feel like someone is looking at you when you are completely alone? Do you ever hear things in your mind that you feel just is not you? How about the concept of existing in multiple places at once. Do you ever mull that one over?
I’ve been deep in prayer for many years now. I was one of those kids who would meditate regularly. I would get my tub, turn on the jets, and just let my soul fly. It created incredible stuff in my life. I would find that there were so many things around us that are completely invisible. This world is just one slice of life. And the slices go on forever. There is no beginning and no end. God is a limitless being, perfectly good, and perfectly true, incapable of mistake and loving of all things and beings.
Next time someone says they are waiting for Jesus to return, tell them to get on their knees first. Without some genuine, hard core, direct prayer to our Savior, that person will never achieve a single thing worthwhile. They will just keep running around spouting off about events that are not worth concentrating on.
You might think I’m knocking Revelations. I’m not. I’m knocking peoples’ typical perspective on it, which is usually frivolous and silly. If you look at that book the way it should be looked at, you will receive one big lesson….ONE. What is it?
Get your butt in gear before God does it for you.
