Why hasn't Jesus come back yet? Didn't he say he would be back by now? [Spirituality & Religion]

"Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

Maybe it's because every one of his followers is wearing crosses. You think Jesus ever wants to see another fucking cross again?

It's unclear whether he's referring to the physical coming of God's kingdom and His son or whether he's referring to the infusion of Christianity and new thinking in the world.

Why is it unclear? Is there any reason to think that he was referring to his ministry and not his kingdom aside from the fact that he hasn't come back yet?

@UnparalleledMonster: There's no way to know what specifically was being referred to, and so it's unclear.

@Oconnor:

It doesn't use very unclear language. It seems pretty clear when he refers to his kingdom elsewhere that he's referring to the kingdom of heaven.

So i think the most you can say is that it's debatable. "Unclear" makes it sound like it's more ambiguously worded than it is.

So is there a good reason to suspect that he was not referring to the kingdom of heaven aside from the fact that it hasn't manifested?

After what they did to him first time my guess is he ain't coming back... ;)
