To magegraywolf, that is your version of the Bible. I have the King James Version. I believe that although God has not come back yet, he will soon. The Bible says, "...He will come like a thief in the night..." meaning no man knows the time or the hour.
Doesn't matter, it's still saying the same thing. I'm pointing out that this prophecy of him coming back was suppose to have happened long ago and is clearly stated in the Bible as such. Your belief otherwise is meaningless. For the record I have a number of versions and use sites that contain numerous more so I can look at a number of versions at once. I just used NIV as it was the most accessible at the time.
(American King James Version)
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:27-31
Are you bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
But and if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
But this I say, brothers, the time is short: it remains, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passes away.
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Matthew 10:23
But when they persecute you in this city, flee you into another: for truly I say to you, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
Matthew 16:27-28
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Truly I say to you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Matthew 24:34
Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mark 13:30
Truly I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Luke 21:32
Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
If this isn't the specific King James Version you're using (There are other King James Bibles) then give me that specific one and I will pull the same **** quote from that one as well.
