Do these two verses mean that the return of Christ is very soon?

Hosea 5:15-6:2 I will return again to My place (Heaven) Till they acknowledge their offense (Israel) Then they will seek My face In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After TWO DAYS days He will revive us; On the THIRD DAY He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. According to II Peter 3:8, with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Does this mean the return of Christ is very soon? Are your ready?

Answer:
okay, their are signs that the Lord's return is soon, such as the euro being used more and more widely, such as the israelites getting ready to rebuild the temple, lots of things, but no one knows when it will be specifically. we certainly have the technological concepts for the "mark of the beast" such as fingerprint scanners (the sign on the hand) and retnal scanners (the sign on the forhead) i'd say be ready any time, because the pieces are being set up, even as we speak. i'm ready as anything to leave, yes

In the bible it says that god will return very soon, there are examples that are given that will tell us his return is soon.

Ah, but SOON is relative, for example it took 7 days to create the heavens and earth. But that's not 7 days like you know it - it's 7 days = eons

According to the Apocalypse, the Antichrist has to come first, and mark his servants on the forehead. But then, the apostles expected Jesus to come back during their lifetime. I wouldn't cross my fingers.

Sparky, those are literal 7 days. The way it is written in Hebrew suggested literal 24-hours periods, not eons. In addition, Jesus mentioned that the apostles would be alive when Jesus was resurrected. Jesus was pointing to his resurrection in the verse Matthew 16:28. "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." The kingdom refers to that of the network of believers.

Neither of these verses has to do with the return of the Lord at this time. Granted, 2 Pet. 3:8 is referring to the Second Coming, but in context of your question the answer is-no. Yes, I am ready.
Theologian
Believe returned already... Note that prophets always speak both in terms of eternal spiritual truth which is always only in allusion, but also real world prophesy. 1844 starts the return with heralding the promised Day of all ages.
Gravitar or not...
brother i am ready and waiting, jesus' return is just around the corner. 1 thessalonians 5:2-5 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
