There is no exact date when Jesus will come, but we are warned to keep watch because He will return.

Jesus Himself warned us against speculating about the timing of His return or claiming we know when it will take place. He said, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:36).
But Jesus did tell us certain events must take place before He returns, and these will be like signposts pointing to His coming. For example, He told us that He would not come again until the whole world has had an opportunity to hear the Gospel: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). Certainly we see this happening today through television, radio, publications and the Internet.
Jesus also told us that we would see an outburst of evil on an unprecedented scale before He comes again, as Satan lets loose his fury in a final effort to defeat God's plan: "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come" (Mark 13:7). Can anyone read the headlines today and doubt the reality of Satan's power?
No, we don't know when Christ will come again—but we don't need to know! Our responsibility is still the same: to love Him and live for Him with all our strength. Is this your goal?

You mean come into existence. This is because Jesus Christ does not exist. He probably existed about 2000 years ago, but has not existed since then. I don't think this historical character will ever come into existence any more than George Washington or Mao Zedong will come into existence again. Most of the time when people talk of the Second Coming, it's in terms of an apocalypse. I put apocalyptic thinking in the same category as belief in an afterlife that is better than our present life. It is anti-human and leads people to commit horrible acts in the name of some religion. Please don't believe in a Second Coming or in anything else that means the end of the world or of humanity unless you have really solid grounds for your belief, and the Bible is emphatically NOT such a ground, but an imperfectly written history book. Such a belief can lead to great harm.

Like he said in the Bible , he will be coming real soon, you see how the earth is in terrible condition, so many bad things happening in the world, signs that the anti-christ soon will come, and just along will come Jesus to save us all once again.

if you are a christian then you know the answere to this one, but if you arent, then for your benifit & others, the answere is this, no man knows the hour or the day or the exact time when jesus will come back as he promised.and if you hear of someone who says they do, then he is being very mis-informed by some kind of evil force. but, we can look to recent & current events & know that the time is near & to keep our hearts filled with the expected return of jesus christ, our lord & our saviour. these are the words of jesus himself in Matthew 24 verse 36:
but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not even the angels in heaven, but my father only. its interesting to note the words in the verse prior that in verse35, it says: heaven & earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

When Jesus came down from heaven he divested that knowledge while he was human and did not mention any dates in order to keep us ready for his second coming. Parable of the Ten Virgins man (Matt 25: 1-13), I think that best sums it up.

Jesus expects his followers to be busy about the Kingdom business of setting the world free from evil. When he returns he will honour those who have got on with the job. They will be given the positions of responsibility in his Kingdom.
In the meantime he has called you to :
Put aside your self-interest now
Take up your cross daily and
Follow in his steps
Following Jesus is a challenging and exciting life-style. You get to work in the danger zone between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. When you walk with Jesus you meet a lot of tough characters who need toughened disciples to convince them to join God's kingdom. The rewards start now and last forever.

The exact date is not at our liberty to know...here is all that you get to understand about the coming. If you prepare to live your Christian life as if He were returning tonight, you would be saved.
I Thessalonians 5
1Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

***When Jesus Christ will come? ***
No one really knows for sure. Be ready,
it is said he is coming like a thief in the night.
Have a blessed day.

not until the antichrist has ruled the earth....and since the antichrist is alive now....it will be sooner than later. Just waiting for the antichrist to solve some great world catastrophic problem. He will demand that we bow down and worship him...then Christ will come to defeat him.
