Jeff tells the truth: Jesus never said anything about coming back. He does state that He is "the Alpha and the Omega". He will be there at the end. We go to Him. All of us. LIke a giant pachinko machine, we all take different paths - and who knows, maybe there are even "multiverses" where we take alternate routes - but in the end, we all return to Him. His words are given to us to make our journeys easier - with less bumps on the way down the pachinko machine, as it were - but in the end we all return to Him, with no exceptions. "Be not afraid" indeed.
