Question: Christ told the disciples he would return. Didn’t he do just that in most of their lifetimes just like he said he would do? Aren’t the prophecies about the end already fulfilled?

Answer: Dear Wayne,

You ask a complex question – for it involves a number of ways of approaching and understanding not only the statements of Jesus but a number of other prophecies as well. Most Christians believe in the Second Coming – but some would believe that a number of events that he said would happen before his Second Coming have already happened – for example they cite Matthew 24 being fulfilled in the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 69-70 A.D.

In Christ,
