Why? What would be the purpose?
What is it you see in your future if Jesus comes back today?
I’m not skilled as other people. However I do believe by faith that Jesus wasn’t lying to the Apostles and the apostles didn’t lie to the people about waiting for Jesus to return.
So I don’t know what would be the point of you believe those scriptures have something to do with today.
1. I see Luke 17:28-30 and 2 Thes. 1:7-10 as being a
simultaneous event of the redemption of the saints and destruction of the unsaved,
all in the same day of the Lord's visible and Glorious return from Heaven, in His Immortality.
2. Yes, The disciples were told to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of His
return, being that of the Gift of His Holy Spirit from on High.
Luke 12[
36] And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and
knocketh*, they may open unto him immediately. *(Rev. 3:20).
Luke 24
[
49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power
from on high.
> The above is indeed the actual
2nd coming of the Lord from Heaven,
in His Spirit, which is the giving (the pouring out)** of the Holy Spirit upon all (the desolate)** who now have repented, and do believe in Jesus as their Savior.
** Note: to be desolate, is one who is
void of God.
As I did say, the OT prophets spoke of the coming of "the promised one", but never could reveal, nor were they allowed to reveal the
three manifestations of Jesus' coming to us, being that of Him in (1) His mortal flesh, in (2) His Spirit, and then finally in (3) His Immortality.
We ALL who believe, are still waiting for Him to come in the flaming [blazing] fire of His Immortality.
2 Peter 3:10-13
[
10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
3. If you are born again of Christ's Spirit, you truly are "skilled" to know what it is that I am talking about, with the scripture references I have provided. John 16:13.
