Where is the promise of his coming?— The promise is here put for the thing promised. The meaning of the question was, "Where is the promised advent of Christ? What proof or sign is there of his appearing again?" By this question these scoffers intended to insinuate, that there was no hope or prospect of his coming again; and that, as it was so long delayed, the promise was vain and delusive, and would never be accomplished.
