>>>That was what he came to bring in his first advent, not the second. Here is what He is promised to bring when He returns, from Isaiah 2:4 :<<<

>>>“And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”<<<

>>>So, the existence of war demonstrates that Christ has not yet returned, despite your assertions to the contrary.<<<

The exegesis of Isaiah 2:4 is rather involved, so I have posted a new thread with my interpretation for all to see.

“The exegesis of Isaiah 2:4 is rather involved, so I have posted a new thread with my interpretation for all to see.”

Seems to me that your entire premise rests on the idea that Christ can’t complete His promised mission in a timely manner because... Satan? Yet, Christ can defeat Satan with a single word, so we know that can’t be correct.
