An imminent return or a cruel joke?

Chapter 1

Let’s start by examining some scriptures. What defines a prophet. Deuteronomy 13, If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,and the sign or wonder comes to pass,of which he spoke to you,saying, “Let us go after other gods”(which you have not known) “and let us serve them”, you shall not listen to that prophet. That prophet shall be put to death because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God. Deuteronomy 18, I will raise them up a prophet from among the brothers,like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words, which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But a prophet who speaks presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. You may say in your heart,     “How shall we know the word Yahweh has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in Yahweh’s name, and the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing Yahweh has not spoken.

A true prophet speaks on behalf of God, and the things he speaks must happen when he says they will,on time,or he is a false prophet,and the word of God is not in him. This seems to be clear and understandable. Let’s move on. Let’s look at Jesus and see if he prophesied an imminent return.
