@mchill saidActually Jesus said nothing of the sort. He said no man knows the day or the hour. It is possible to know, or at least try to figure out the approx time period like the year that Jesus is likely to return. If Jesus or God did not want people predicting His return then the passages in the bible would not exist. Most of the writings of the Prophets and Revelation is loaded with prophecies which if studied [and the bible says to study it], can lead to reasonable predictions.
Jesus cautioned his disciples against trying to predict this event. That's good enough for me.
Off the top of my head here are some:
- the Jews return to their homeland
- Mt Sinai will be split in two
- Euphrates River will dry up
The purpose in God telling people these things is for them to change their life and keep the commandments. The JWs have the wrong approach which is to use their false predictions to increase their membership, and to claim they are Gods chosen people. This is their undoing and will in the end lead to their damnation. They are wilfully fooling guillible people.

@divegeester saidOh my....I have no idea how to answer you. It just gets better and better....... The reason you keep accusing us of all the far out ideas you have is because you don't pay attention.
So you’re saying that the physical body Jesus’ rose into the upper atmosphere where it disintegrated and he became a spirit which is still up in the earth’s atmosphere. It that right?
Have you once EVER looked up any scriptures I've quoted? I would bet no you haven't because you don't care about anything except what your opinion is, just a never ending bottomless opinion pit.
Ok. (((((((( P a y a t t e n t i o n. ))))))))
I've never said that Jesus's flesh and blood body was raised to heaven. NEVER.... GOT IT?
And what in the heck are your saying that it disintegrated?
You need lots, and lots, and lots of help my friend!!!!!

@divegeester saidAlso the disciples asked Jesus about this and he answered so clearly it is not something to avoid.
On the other hand Jesus said that there were those listening to his voice who would not taste death.
How do you explain those words?
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (Matthew 24:3-4 KJV)
