Well, let me ask you this? What makes you think he's here now and for what purpose? And why is he hiding and not making himself know to the world?

Well, I personally believe it will be a thousand years because scripture tells us that. During those years, many things need to be accomplished.

Yes... that's what i've been saying....
That was a vision. Like John in Patmos, like Elijah, etc....
How do you know that every eye seeing him won't be visionary?

Because he is literally coming back. He will rule from Jerusalem. He will destroy the kingdoms of man. He will "set up" a kingdom for people. He will rule in righteousness. There is just so many verses... so many!
I believe that for a disciple all those prophecies are fulfilled in HEART.
Jerusalem means Earth's throne of God. To a believer the kingdoms of the world are nothing. I do not know about a set up. The kingdom rules in the heart of a person when he gives up his own will for God's will be done. He can't not rule in righteousness. But as a man he can't be perfect. Men ****. Don't they?
When the man Jesus comes again and he must go to the bathroom, he will be vulnerable for a time. Won't he? Is God ever vulnerable in your opinion?
What about when he must sleep? Does the man not sleep?
Does Jesus come back in a human body? Does his human body eat, sleep and poop?
If it doesn't then it is not human.
If it is not human it is a graven image. Is it not?
If it is a spirit, then why can't he do the things now that he purposes to do then? How many more people must suffer so that God can make his grand entrance?

A question for the Jehovah's Witnesses. If there developed an evil heart in the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses and the evidence was indisputable, such that even a minor might realize it, what would you do? Who would you go too? Would you look for someone else to obey?

Can God squeeze out a poop so watery that He Himself can't wipe it?
Not without a tree's worth of paper I suppose.
Does the physical Jesus have all the human organs and things?
He sends them to the lake of fire for living a life of unrepentant sin.
"Get away" implies action on the part of the one hearing him.
If someone told you, "Get away!", you could either ignore him or you would obey him and leave. Is there another option?
Hes talking about final judgement.
Mathew 25:41 " Depart from me you cursed into the everlasting fire"
Mathew 25:46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment"
no options, final judgement
I do not think that is what I am talking about. I am talking about the verb.
ἀπελεύσονται
aperchomai: to go away, go after
Original Word: ἀπέρχομαι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: aperchomai
Phonetic Spelling: (ap-erkh'-om-ahee)
Short Definition: I come or go away from, depart, return
Definition: I come or go away from, depart, return, arrive, go after, follow.
If death is the sentence with no options the person becomes dead. But Jesus uses a VERB.
He is telling them to do something. According to everyone He is telling them, "be destroyed".
I am sure a dead person can not go anywhere but he is telling them to go away.
Does God use sloppy grammar and if so WHY?
A living person can go away. Go is a verb and a verb means action. Would anyone who never heard from Jesus to obey him hear from him and then obey him to go away?
A dead person can't perform action and even if he could would he finally obey Jehovah and go away?
