Why doesn't He do it how we expect Him to?


I've come to the conclusion that it is rare (uncommon at best) for God to do things as we expect them. I believe it will be the case in the end times. Not that we don't have a record of it, but that we all misinterpret it in some fashion (including myself). Look at what the Jews of Jesus' time thought. The Messiah would take over physical rule of them, be a physical King. Jesus had other plans, and they rejected him as not fulfilling prophesy. Sometimes we have expectations and plans ourselves, but the God who sees all and is present everywhere has a better plan. Who am I to argue?
