The second coming will be at the end of time and that time is not known:
[Mat 24:35] Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
[Mat 24:36] "But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

It's not "when you die".....The Second Coming of Christ is unknown even to Jesus....only the Father knows...Christ will come with those raptured, his saints, to defeat satan.
The Rapture is this....
Be ready....."For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we well be withthe Lord forever." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Jesus will not actually touch the earth....he will come in the clouds and then the tribulation.....(some Christians do not believe this) this is called PreTrib Christians.
Understand....that only those who have put their trust and faith in Jesus Christ will be taken to heaven.....Everyone else will have to live on the earth...now without the Holy Spirit...and possibly without many of their loved ones.
The 1st coming was when Jesus was born of a virgin.
The 2nd coming will be when Jesus comes to conquer the world with all his saints. This will be at the end of the world as we know it.

Do not confuse The Rapture with the second coming of Christ. At the rapture, you meet Christ in the sky. At the second coming, He returns to the earth with the saints to defeat the armies of Satan. That return happens at the end of the 7 year tribulation period. (The 70th week of Daniel.) At that time He arrives at the mount of Olives in Israel and establishes His kingdom on earth for 1,00 years.
From the time that the Antichrist signs a peace treaty with Israel, you can count seven years until Christ returns. (Most likely using a 360 day calendar like ancient Israel used.)

Only God knows that. Not even Jesus Christ himself knows. He will come "Like a thief in the night". But, the Bible has foretold that many people will claim the Lord has spoken to them and they know when he will come. Don't listen to them. They are false prophets.
Jesus told us to "Fast and pray, for you don't know when that day will come."

No one knows. Jesus stated that He would come as a thief in the night. We have been left with some prophecies and signs, but they will never tell us when.

Who knows. If you are Christian or Catholic, I think the important thing is to live your life according to your religion ie. be honest, help others, don't break the ten commandments, etc. One should not be good just because one knows when the second coming will happen and is afraid of judgment.

If you buy the notions offered in the Bible, the second coming already occurred.
Jesus was born. First coming.
Jesus was crucified. He died.
Jesus was resurrected. Second coming.
So if Jesus came back again, wouldn't that be the third time?

Noone on this earth knows, but I think when He does come, noone will be expecting it. That's why He says He will come like a "thief in the night", and His followers are told to have their clothes on and their cloak ready! When He does come, the world is going to get a rude awakening.

No one knows the time and date, only the Father. Not even the Son or the angels, only the Father.

Soon. Discern the times and seasons. As it was in the days of Noah...
Even so, may Jesus return quickly!
