Why Jesus Has Not Come Back Yet: Understanding God's Perfect Timing

The Long Wait for a Soon Coming King

It’s been nearly 2,000 years since Jesus Christ uttered the words that have echoed through the ages: “Behold, I am coming soon.” For generations, Christians have looked to the skies, watched the world, and waited in hope. And yet—here we are. Still waiting.

Many believers quietly wonder, “What’s taking so long?” Others wrestle with doubt, confusion, or even disappointment. Skeptics mock, saying, “Where is this ‘coming’ He promised?” And even faithful followers sometimes whisper, “Lord… are You late?”

But what if He isn’t late at all?

What if our human clocks and calendars have misunderstood divine timing? What if God's “soon” isn’t delayed—it’s precisely on schedule?

In this book, we’re going to explore what the Bible really says about the return of Christ. We’ll unpack Scriptures often overlooked, revisit ancient prophecies with fresh eyes, and examine the signs of the times. Most importantly, we’ll shift our perspective—from earthly timekeeping to God’s eternal timeline.

Through the lens of passages like 2 Peter 3:8—“With the Lord, one day is as a thousand years”—and Hosea 6:2—“After two days He will revive us, on the third day He will raise us up”—we’ll discover a powerful and perhaps prophetic insight: what if it’s only been “two days” since Jesus left... and the “third day” is almost here?

This isn’t a book about setting dates or stirring fear. It’s a book about faith, hope, and clarity. It’s a journey into the mind of God, who is never late, never early, but always exactly on time.

So if you’ve ever asked, “Why hasn’t Jesus come back yet?”—you’re not alone. And the answer may be far more encouraging than you think.

Let’s dive in.
