Jesus already came, died on the cross to wash everyones sins away, and rose. He will be back though when the time is right
A:In 1 Thessalonians, Paul says that he expected to still be alive at the second coming. He said the end will come like a "thief in the night," with Jesus appearing when people least expect it.2 Thessalonians was written in Paul's name long after his death, when it was becoming clear that Jesus was not returning soon. The author of this epistle used Paul's name to explain that Jesus' appearance will be a while yet and, rather than coming unexpectedly, will be preceded by recognisable events.
Jesus knew He would soon be put to death and prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane.
The passage in which Simeon blessed the baby Jesus and prophesied great things was an opportunity to prove to the readers of Luke's Gospel that Jesus was indeed the son of God. For some reason, Simeon, alone of all people, had been promised that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Anointed (Christ). Simeon recognised Jesus as the Christ as soon as he saw him, and blessed the young family. The author of Luke often used repetition to ensure certainty among his readers, so the story of Simeon was immediately followed by the story of Anna the prophetess.
He was born there. He was to be born in his father's hometown, Nazereth, but could not, because of King Herod's decree to kill him. His parents moved his birth place to Bethlehem. According to the Biblical record Jesus was born in Bethlehem due to the census decree made by Augustus. (It would not be possible or plausible for a murder decree to have been issued by Herod before Jesus was born and before the Magi from the East had made his birth known, nor would the baby Jesus himself have had any input into these matters)
AnswerAccording to Matthew's Gospel, the magi travelled to Bethlehem to worship Jesus and to bring him gifts. However, many scholars believe that Matthew's magi did not really exist. John Shelby Spong (A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi, or wise men, were not actual people. Matthew was writing Christian midrash, with the purpose of telling his readers that even the priests from Persia would have wanted to honour Jesus.
Yes, it is a promise. Soon, Jesus will return to Rapture (take to heaven) his church. Be ready. The Bible says Jesus' return will surprise eveyone. It will be like a thief in the night.
