For the time is short before the second coming of Jesus the Christ to come and recreated all things that mankind has destroy by sin and will destroy before the end.
What do you mean when you say "the time is short" before the second coming of Christ? Is short a relative term? Is it a definitive term? For example, can I expect Jesus to return this year? Or by the end of the decade or century?
To my understanding 'short' is a relative term when describing time, and no real value can be placed on it unless defined by its usage. If I am talking about the length of time the United States has been a country compared to countries in Europe, it would be quite "short". This "short" period is roughly 225 years.
If I have seen a friend within the last few days, I can say that is also a "short" period of time. But if I hadn't seen this friend in 225 years, if that were possible, I surely would not say it has only been a "short" period of time since we last saw each other.
'Short' used in relation to Christ's return, seems to be usd to invoke excitement, like it is right around the corner and will happen momentarily. Jesus said he would return but it has been over 2,000 years since he said it. So if 2,000 years is not a 'short' period of time, then conceivable it could be 2,000 years or more before he comes back.
