It seems to me that the Bible indicates many times that Jesus was going to return in the first century, during the generation of his disciples. It is my opinion, that if Jesus hasn't come back yet, he isn't going to. A lot of people think that Jesus returned in 70 AD, and that Revalation foretold the destruction of Jerusalem as an avenging of the apostles and prophets who were martyred and persecuted. This isn't just a gut feeling or something. It is backed by scripture, which I will provide. Now, I realize some strongly disagree with this, which is why I am posting it on a forum, but please, let me know why (biblically) you think I'm wrong, without throwing around insults. I realize it is a passionate subjuct, but try to keep the enthusiasm positive
The scriptural evidence...
Matthew 10:23
“23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”
-Jesus tells his disciples to preach the word in Israel, and to just move on to the next town if they were persecuted, because Jesus would come before they had been to every town in Israel

Matthew 16:27-28
“27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
-Jesus says to his disciples that some of the would not die before Jesus “comes in his Kingdom”
