If you are referring to "the second coming of Jesus", according to the Bible, He's coming back when God tells Him to.
Matthew 24:34-36

Do Christians really believe he's coming at all? They get involved in politics and social affairs to try and change the world to their liking and abolish evil wherever it hides, totally ignoring their own teachings which state that when Jesus arrives, he will destroy all worldly governments and set up his own, abolishing all evil in the world. Why are they trying to do Jesus' job for him? Do they think he won't be up to the task, that it will be too difficult and they need to give him a head start? Or could it be that they don't really believe in the teaching of the Second Coming? If they did, they would keep to themselves, live their own lives quietly, and not try to convert everyone or get others to obey their rules of behavior, knowing that Christ will do all that, anyway.
Also, they would be selling all they have and giving the money to the poor to follow Jesus--just as Jesus, himself, commanded in the gospels. The reason he gave such a command is because that is exactly the sort of thing one would say to people who have no need of worldly possessions, if all worldly things are doomed to pass away upon the arrival of the savior. But Christians don't really believe that, either.

Not one of us knows the answer to this question. But I know that all the things (signs for The Lord coming back) in the bible are coming true now. Like, storms, fires, war. But that has been happening for years so we just don't know when He is coming back. Just live in TODAY and do the next right thing. I hope I see you in Heaven! :) Have a nice day and Jesus Loves YOU!

Yes, Definitely Jesus will come back. He will come back to judge the living and the dead. He is risen and is at the right side of the Heavenly Father now. No body knows the exact time of his come back other than the Heavenly Father. Though the time is unknown the the signs of his comming is been displayed in the world as mentioned in the Bible. Be prepared yourself.

In the West, the best-known story about a "perfect" world is that of the Garden of Eden. I find it interesting there is an angel with a flaming sword preventing us from returning to it. There is wisdom to our being barred--or actually, to our barring ourselves. The story may be just a myth, but myths that last millennia always have great truth in them; in this case, there is no perfect world, one without evil. We're barred from it by our flawed human nature.
The only place a perfect world exists is in fantasy, in our imaginations. That is important, so important I use that fact as one way to tell the difference between those who want to rule others and those who don't. The former are the ones who cause most of the trouble in the world. They always have.
Generally, those who want to rule others are leftist, and those who don't are true rightists. The true right barely exists today, except for some libertarians, paleo-libertarians, and paleo-conservatives. The idea that "neo-conservatives" are right-wing is a complete joke.

That's one of those questions that there is no one answer to, All we do know is that this world is so messed up now, and we do need something & someone to start a healing process, There's too much hate, too much anger, too much lost in this world right now, I do believe in "my heart" that, that time is near or even here, the question is are we really ready?
And we must beware of false prophets, This is a time were there is too many of them and not enough turth.
I wish I could answer this for you, if anyone does have that answer just beware, let your heart and your faith lead you not anothers belief.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:42-44 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch [range of hours] the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
HOWEVER, we will be able to see the signs prior to His Coming:
"For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matthew 24:27)
"Behold he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." (Revelation 1:7) Not only shall our eyes see. . .but all our senses will be aware of his coming. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first." (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

might you like for Jesus to respond to your question? He did answer it. Jesus replied this very question, while His disciples asked Him, and His words have been written down by people who heard Him talk that day. you could desire to study His words interior the Bible, in Matthew 24. He talked some lot of numerous issues, like issues that had to take place first, earlier He returns. He used some be conscious photos to coach the way it could be for persons while He comes decrease back. He became fairly careful to point out that we could desire to continually no longer have self assurance each and all of us who claims to be Him, or who claims to have a secret particular thank you to discover Him. yet you could study it keen on your self, and see what you think of.

The end of the world, per the story. The arm-of-god-n. God first has to let the entire world l go to hell. Then with jesus sitting in is right hand he'll come and destroy everything that's left and evil, with one sweep of his left arm.
