In many of the parables, Jesus speaks of a time span completing some event.

Examples include: 

> 
> Mark 13:34: For the Son of Man is as a man taking a **far** journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 
> 
> 
> Math 25:14: “For it will be like a man **going on a journey**, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. Math 13:33 The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, **till** it was all leavened.
> 
> 
> Luke 13:06: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, **and he came** seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years **now I have come** seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ 8 And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, **until** I dig around it and put on manure. 9 **Then** if it should bear fruit **next year**, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”,

If God is out of time, how is he waiting to return from heaven?
