I never gave Jesus a chance to have a second coming in the first place because i don't believe in that crap. Personally, I think everyone else should give up that its going to happen and move on.

Hopefully not before you repent of your unebelief...." you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation."
For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:1-9

I am a Christian, and think this is a very good question. Jesus and authors of scripture thereafter gave very little guidance, other than no one would know when it would come. So basically, Christian theology can place no time limit on His return.

Thank U ALL for your Anwers-I hope U find your heaven-I C mine slipping away-She was Earth &Beautiful? Y CHRIST?
Why did Jezus have to tell you through John in Revelations that Judgement day would come? Why did he have to tell you that The World would be undone? Why did he leave the BOOK of Life unfilled with the truth about our mother-Earth! I do not know of a far greater show-which rides in this universe upon times journey of light-twas easy to call so many things true-especially for men that lived and were in awe by flight-Angels had wings and these men couldn't soar so they dreamed of gods that could make them more-and in doing so they placed hope faith and love-into a place out of this world-in one they dreamed for above-with golden roads and castles and one being upon a thrown-for to all that beliveth in him was mercy shown-and to these ends they would work hard each and every day-knowing that forgiveness would be a better way-but then it happened and they were quite caught off guard-they began to see the violence of a Mother that they did discard-4 she was SECOND TO THEIR GOD-only now her heart now melts*

This idea is a misunderstanding of scripture.
Jesus has no intention of returning as a living human. He already did that.
This time Jesus is returning in the hearts of those who have accepted his message and try to live their lives to emulate his teachings. Few actually do this. It requires a radically different interpretation of love from the one understood by most so-called believers. Most people see love as something that you keep in reserve only for those you have judged worthy of it.
This is not love at all. This is only judgment. Judgment is the exact opposite of what Jesus was teaching. Remember judge not lest ye be judged. Jesus asks us to love our neighbor. Notice that there is no accept for in this statement. Every one is intended to be included in this love Jesus ask us to have for our fellow man. This type of universal application of love requires no judgment on our part because Jesus’' intent was that no one be left out of it.
This is a difficult pill to swallow for any religion that thinks of it's self as being the one true and only correct way to God. This idea of exclusivity is the exact opposite of the message of inclusively that Jesus gave us.
Attaining the goals that Jesus set for us may be difficult within the constraints most religions impose. This is why many who seriously try to emulate the true teachings of Jesus in their lives do not ascribe to any particular religious following. They follow the truth in their hearts where Jesus has taken up residence.
Love and blessings.

Until the Christian President brings on armageddon by continually blasting the heck out of foreign countries and shoving his beliefs down their throats.

To the Lord, a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years, a day.
By God's calendar, Jesus has been gone a couple of days. Be patient.
