Whether He will actually step on the current thing we call the earth is a question still in my mind. It may well be that His contact will only be with the new heavens and new earth, since the recreation of heavens and earth is part of the chronology for His return.

And yet Job in Chapter 19:23-26 records the following:

"Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

"For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God."

[topcat54]

"For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God."

Well, seeing that Job was written many years before Jesus' first appearance, that certainly seems to have been made true. The Redeemer of Israel did appear on the earth.
