false hope, sort of

 The idea that Jesus was coming back soon helped early Christians hang on. In fact, it helps people today look forward to that expectation. But it is false hope to look forward for Jesus return in your lifetime. It's not happening. It will, some day. 

The strange thing is Jesus makes it sound like you better be ready, but what the vast majority of people better be ready for is death. almost everyone faces death, a relatively small number of people will probably see Jesus return. So, if the number of people suddenly increase to trillions and then Jesus appears it would somewhat match the biblical accounts with our situation.

 

Appear: 

 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Hebrews, 1 Peter, 1 John

 

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
24:45	Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
24:46	Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
24:47	Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
24:48	But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
24:49	And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
24:50	The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
24:51	And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
