Depends upon what you mean by soon. I suspect it might happen when most people expect it the least. In that case, I would think everyone would want to be prepared at all times.
As to your question about how we should prepare I would say to search the Scriptures and pray for Truth and Understanding and Instruction. Also turning your face away from the world and toward the Light will certainly be of help.

Two factors here
1) We need to be ready to meet Christ spiritually. That means we need to make sure our relationship is right with God.
But more importantly, after reading the scriptures, I'm not convinced that the rapture will come before the Tribulation. I'm not sure what the answer is here, but I think we need to be prepared to live in a life that won't be so comfortable. Christianity is getting more and more ridiculed and I think we are heading into some very difficult times.

The Bible says, "No one knows about that day or hour not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the father." So we can't tell when it will happen and before the second coming everyone on earth has to hear the message (it's a prophecy). The Bible also tells us to live every moment like it's our last

Yes. By obeying all 10 of the commandments of God and the teachings of Jesus. As far as any fear of the end times, when things get very bad, God sends an Angel to place the seal of God on the Saved forhead so that the wrath of God will not harm us. Is'nt that cool? However, many of God's elect will be chosen to have the Holy Spirit speak through them. These are the ones who will be martered for the testimony of God, The bible says this is a blessed death and we should be honored to do this for God. Jesus did this for us. It is what being Christian (Christlike) is all about.

It has already started. Read my blog, www.choosepeacenow.net
Click on archives and start with the Message from Dr. Joshua David Stone and work your way up. Or if you are really into it, read from the first post up. It is like an online journal all about what people call the Second Coming, and all of the changes and effects that are related to this.

It will be in the year 2019. You can only prepare by following the 10 commandants and believing in Jesus.

No one but God knows when. However, the signs are all there that it could be this very day. The climate changes, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, violence worldwide, wars, wars, wars, persecution of Christians (just check out the bashers on this website!), morality at an all-time low, judges as bad as the criminals......to be ready, one must acknowledge God as Supreme, Jesus as Savior, accept Him into your life as Lord and Savior, repent of your sins, be baptized, and build a relationship with Jesus. Pray for those that despise you; watch and pray! God bless and keep you!

Are you talking about Jesus? or Christ.(the Anointing.) Jesus came twice on record and now is in our Midst. you should always be prepared. you never know when you will draw your last breath. But it is certain this world will not last long.

Christ coming in the clouds means seeing the internal sense come through the literal sense.

Yes he is coming soon.
Revelation 22:20He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Prepare yourself by trusting that Jesus has made the perfect sacrifice on your behalf. He forgives your sins and will take you home to heaven if you believe.
John 3: 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
