One day Jesus will return because he promised that he would, When he returns magnificent miracles and scary events will return with him. His glory and power will not be held back this time. He will come for his people and to unleash God's wrath on the world. It will be the end of the world.
Not every event predicted will wait until Jesus' actual return. The first nine events happened before AD70. It was promised to be like birthing pains. It will ebb and flow. The events will happen more often and become more painful the closer it gets to time, but no one will know the day or time until it happens. Jesus promised that his return would be unexpected, but his people are to be ready and alert.
Christians were never promised to have it easy. It was actually promised that the church would be persecuted until Jesus returns, but the church is called to remain faithful. Salvation is not a get out of hell free card. It is meant to be lived in honor of God. God is in charge. The world is not spinning out of control, so you can maintain self-control to honor Him.
The world may feel unbearably evil sometimes, but the Holy Spirit is with you to help you endure. Remember Jesus' promises. Your eternity is secure even if your right now is not. Jesus has victory over death and Satan. It will be seen by all soon enough. God is being kind and patient, so the whole world has an opportunity to chose to have a real relationship with Him. Until that time Jesus will work out the details.
Matthew 24:1-31, Luke 12:39-40, Acts 1:9-11, 2 Peter 3:8-9, & Revelations 22:20-21
