Matthew 24:3-28
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Luke 21:10-11
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.


This makes the coming of comet Ison interesting!

I believe Jesus wanted to come back a long time ago, but has been delayed. There is a suggestion in some prophetic parables that such a delay could take place. (Luke 12:45)
There are two reasons I believe that have delayed Him. One, the church isn't ready. We are too worldly, asleep, and still failing in our call to teach the gospel. Too many are deceived still and have yet to come fully out of the Roman cult, and cleave still to many of her doctrines. This is why the latter rain has not yet truly fallen. A counterfeit yes, but not the true, at least not fully. In some places God is working mightily through His faithful servants, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Only a fully consecrated sanctified truth seeking godly servant will receive the latter rain in its fullest power. The other reason why Jesus is delayed is because there are still many people in the world who have yet to hear the true gospel taught that they might have the opportunity to be saved. There are thousands, millions even, who upon hearing the truth, will accept the Savior with gladness. Jesus wants to fill His kingdom. He will not return and call it quits until every last person who could be saved, is saved. He did not give His life a ransom that any should be left out without first having an opportunity to repent. Which brings us back to reason one.....

And Daniel 12:4
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
