Did Jesus Delay His Second Coming? (video)

Did Jesus teach he would delay his return for thousands of years? Those who say “yes” usually point to two parables in Matthew 25. In the Parable of the Virgins, Jesus said the Bridegroom (which represents himself) “delayed his return” (Matt. 25:1–13). Likewise, in the Parable of the Talents, Jesus said the Master (which represents himself) traveled to a far country and returned after “a long time” (Matt. 25:14–30). In both of these parables, Jesus implied he would not return for a long time–thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years (according to some postmillennialists). But is this really what Jesus meant?
