The return of Jesus ... It's a promise!

There is much documentation in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that Jesus came to earth as a baby, became a man, died a cruel death, and rose from a grave after three days. Later it was reported that he returned to heaven. Some say it will come back to earth one day, and you would want to learn more about it.

What was the exact promise he made before going back to heaven?

Before the death of Jesus, he had an intimate conversation with his disciples. He wanted to prepare them for his death, resurrection and return to heaven.

"Do not worry, trust God and trust me, there are many houses in my Father's house, otherwise, I would not have told you that I would prepare a place for you and if I go, I will prepare them, I will come to take them with me and so that all of you can be where I am "(John 14: 1-3).

Nothing so incredible as that had happened before. They did not fully understand the promise. Later, it would become clearer.

Jesus added: "It is better for me to leave because, if I do not, the Comforter will not come to you, but if I leave, I will send it to you." (John 16: 7)

Jesus would send the Holy Spirit to live in them and warned that his return would be as quick as lightning, and that they needed to be prepared. Nobody but the Father would know the correct date. Jesus had given the promise and the first part is fulfilled in the book of Acts.

Jesus ascended right in front of his disciples, hidden by a cloud. The fulfillment of the second part of the promise is still pending.
