170:4.5 Although [[Jesus]] referred one [[phase]] of the kingdom to the [[future]] and did, on numerous occasions, intimate that such an [[event]] might [[appear]] as a part of a world [[crisis]]; and though he did likewise most certainly, on several occasions, definitely [[promise]] sometime to [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_176#176:2._THE_MASTER.27S_SECOND_COMING return] to [[Urantia]], it should be [[recorded]] that he never [[positively]] linked these [[two]] [[ideas]] together. He [[promised]] a new [[revelation]] of the kingdom on [[earth]] and at some [[future]] time; he also [[promised]] sometime to [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_176#176:4._THE_RETURN_OF_MICHAEL come back] to this world in [[person]]; but he did not say that these two [[events]] were synonymous.

170:4.6 His [[apostles]] and [[disciples]] most certainly linked these two teachings [[together]]. When the kingdom [[failed]] to [[materialize]] as they had [[expected]], recalling [[the Master]]'s teaching concerning a [[future]] kingdom and remembering his [[promise]] to come again, they jumped to the conclusion that these [[promises]] referred to an identical [[event]]; and therefore they lived in [[hope]] of his immediate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_coming second coming] to [[establish]] the kingdom in its fullness and with [[power]] and [[glory]].
