Does the bible ever say exactly when Jesus is supposed to come back to judge the living and the dead? Maybe he already came and we missed it, and that is why we live in such troubled times?....

The short answers are no, the Bible does not give a date for Jesus' return and no, we can not have missed his return. You can get a detailed account from Revelations - in the New Testament. I wouldn't read the King James Version though. It's tough to understand today. Look for a NIV version. It's today's English.
Real quick here, troubled times are discussed as 'right will be wrong and wrong will be right'. Disasters will become more common. Many other things are mentioned. This happens before the 'End Times'.
In the End Times, Christians believe that the Rapture will occur. Christians, living and dead, will instantly leave earth and the anti-Christ will rule. Again, details are in the New Testament and Revelations. Eventually, the Bible says that the skies will split and Jesus will descend. The Bible is very clear that when this occurs that there will be no doubt that He has returned.
If you enjoy reading, Look for a series of books known as the "Left Behind" series. One of the authors is Tim Lehaye (not sure of the spelling). It's a series of novels which walk you through all of the End Times in a very easy to understand, entertaining way.

It doesn't say when He will come back, but the Bible says that we better be ready.
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain. These are a few of the Ten Commandments. It's appointed unto man once to die, then judgment. When you die God will judge you by His Ten Commandments. You will be guilty, and if you are guilty, you will be sent to Hell. Jesus came to die on a cross and rise again to pay the debt for your sins, If you Repent, which means to ask forgiveness and turn from your sins, and put your Trust in Jesus Christ, you will be accepted into Heaven. This is the only way.

The Bible states that we won't know the day nor the hour...and if Jesus had already come, we would have known; because basically after Christ comes back, it's the end of the world.
And this "time" is no more troubled than any other time...there will always be wars and rumors of wars; that's just the way it is.

At the end of time,when everyone is dead, so we haven't missed it. We live in such troubled times because people who say they are religious have ulterior motives and have lost the true meaning of Gods word.

Yes he did!
Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Clearly this means the people he was addressing at the time would not die before he returned! SORRY ALL ARE WORM FOOD AND HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME! Oh Damn christians YOU MISSED IT!

wouldn't it be nice to be with both god and satan if they were still freinds.
switch Jesus for the Lamb SLAIN who is LarribSL A I IV put together like iamisabaddon's photo.
all things commanded to praise HIM thus
EMPEROR=E IVI PERIOD= if you read between the lines
I AM = iam = iarri= I A IVI stitched together
and replace GWB with Me. So worship no god but Me as M=IVI stitched together and e is arm. Thus jesus christ takes worship away from HIM.
sum up god=7154=17=8=h thus god is first in heaven.
sum up god jehovah=...=e thus second in heaven
sum up jesus christ=...=g thus not in heaven at all
find h in your english calendar for a descrition of the h who is god.
the Lamb with the seven seals five on arm one on torso and ?
and those L=IL if cut in halve.
the arm seals appear IIII I . as the answer to Rev.19.12.
satan=...=a so he's in heaven.
why is that?
cause the god who is first in heaven put a 1000 year seal on satan as M=IVI stitched together
even TOP PROSPECT praises TODD and his wench ROSE
and until angels stop harrasing me may the USA get hurricanes cause god can pray for weather help too.
so truthfully JESUS is dead never rised. I AM sorry but i can't bring anything back from the dead, nothing can after being dead for days.
but altleast god is still alive and kicking.
send your praise care of larry todd stevenson bank of montreal winnipeg canada.

Nope.
From my reckoning, we're purty close to it now and I think there are a handful more prophecies about to happen before that time comes. As to exactly "when"... well, the Good Book says that even He does not know when that will take place.
Peace be with you!

It does not give a time or date. In fact, it says he will come "as a theif in the night" when no one suspects. I believe that when he does come he won't be quiet about it. The Bible says that the sky will open up to reveal him. So, if he had come, it would have definately been in the news.

he came in the year 1914....according to the Bible which even gives the year when the Son of God was going to be king in heavens....in 1914.....and what happened in 1914....first world war....so in 1914...jesus being now king in heavens throws out Satan from out of the heavens just like the Bible states at Revelation....and now Satan being mad....is doing bad things here on earth.....but his end is very soon...need more information get in touch with Jehovah's Witness

Read Revelation at the back of the Bible.
