Soon

What does soon mean?
'Jesus is coming back soon.' (Need to find the relevant verse address here)
Really? Who's definition of 'soon' is He using there? His own? Why would He use a godly definition of 'soon' when speaking to a people that don't even understand what time is? Then He turns around and speaks of things most mundane for the time period and culture He's embedded in and uses them to address deep(ish) philosophy (the prodigal child, the lost sheep, Bring Your Own Parable). He couldn't have done that to describe 'soon' in a way that would be more accurate? WTF. Was Jesus the original idiot savant?

Wait wait. Would you prefer to believe He meant 'soon' by His own timeframe in order to lead people to believe He meant 'soon' by their timeframe so they'd act like He wanted them too?

If, Then God is a manipulative bastard. End If.
