God is not coming back. God never left.

I think people are confusing their Gods with those non-human alien life forms who used to pretend they were Gods and demand worship and sacrifices. Those beings are not Gods.

Just my opinion.

God never left?

You say this but provide no evidence. I am only speaking from the context of the Biblical God. Thus, I give Biblical evidence.

The God of the Bible only worked with Israel. The rest of the world was completely without God. They created their own ideas of God. Then, even Israel lost sight of God and followed those of the world. As a result, the ten tribes to the north sinned so badly that they were taken captive and lost their identity to the world today.

The Jews continued for 100 years. Then they too sinned and were rejected by God. They went into captivity but were allowed to return so that there would be a nation of Judah for the Messiah to be born into as the prophecy in Gen 49 states. Then, the temple and the people were then destroyed and scattered all over the world. They kept their identity because they kept the Sabbath.

There have been no communications from God since that time. In fact, the New Testament explains that the God of this world is not the God of the Bible.

2Co 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

As to Him leaving, Christ said:

Joh 7:34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

Regarding His leaving and then returning, the angels explained:

Act 1:9-11 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Finally, He comes to take back the earth and rule over it as King of Kings:

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Okay if I accept YOUR premise that "GOD" is the supreme being described in the Bible, (for the sake of discussion) which God would that be? The one who walked with Adam in the garden, and created mankind, or the one they say is "God's son" Jesus?

My evidence is also from the Bible. God is everywhere. (Omnipresent). Therefore God never left.

God is Love. Therefore God is still here.

You have so humanized this being you call "God" I wish you would answer some of my questions about 'him.'

Does God have a human-like form from which he made man in his image? If so, where does he normally live if he does not live here? Is he an alien? If God is a male supreme being, what makes him a male? Does he use his male equipment? Does he eat? Does he have a wife or a mate? If he has humanoid form, does he shape shift? If he can shape shift, how much time do you think he spends in the humanoid form and what other forms do you think he might take? (Like a burning bush or some other thing.)

You have some pretty specific ideas about God so I want to know if you ever give those ideas some serious thought.
