Answer 1

Right after Elvis comes back.

Answer 2

It is very clearly set forth in the Scriptures that Jesus Christ will bodily and visibly return to this earth. In the Old Testament there are prophecies which can be fulfilled only by our Lord's return. In the New Testament there are over 300 references to Christ's second coming. Christ Himself emphasized that He would come again. On one occasion He said, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am" (John 14:3). On another occasion Jesus said, "You will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mark 14:62; see also Mark 13:26, Matthew 24:30 and Luke 21:27).

The apostles continued the emphasis on Jesus' return. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Paul said, "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 with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." Revelation 1:7 says, "Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him." The bodily, visible return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the Christian's "blessed hope" (Titus 2:13).
There is a great deal of interest today in the subject of our Lord's return. I believe that this divinely predicted event may well happen soon; and I am constantly urging believers to obey the scriptural injunction that "teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:12-13). At the same time, I am also aware that the Lord's return may be thousands of years away. The Bible says that "with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day" (2 Peter 3:8).

While there are indications that we may be approaching a crisis in history, and biblical descriptions of the last days fit our times, it would be unwise to make any prediction about the exact time of Christ's return. When on earth, Jesus 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). The important thing is that we should be ready for His coming: "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour" (Matthew 25:13). Read also 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 and 2 Peter 3:3-15.

Answer 3

If it doesn't happen pretty quick, there's not going to be any earth to come back. Just look around. We're on the verge of blowing ourselves up right now. But the bible says that's the way it would be in the last days.
Mathew 24:21,22 says "For then there will be great distress, unequalled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equalled again.
If those days had not been cut short, no-one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened".
That's one of the reasons why I do believe we are very close to the return of Christ. One of the best books I've ever read on this subject is a book called 'the late great planet earth' by Hal Lindsey.

Answer 4

Yes, I believe Christ is coming back to Earth. Some prophets say 2020 but I believe we must be ready at all time because tomorrow is not promise to us. IMO, I believe that every person has to hear the good news of Jesus Christ and then he will come. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few!

Answer 5

My dear friend, not only Chrisitians believe in that, but also Muslims do...We Muslims believe that Jesus Christ is coming back to earth to fight the anti-Christ, and kill him...Then he will rule the earth for 40 years, being a fair and kind ruler over the people...Then afterwards, all the other messangers will come down from heaven, and they will all pray to God, as being thankful to him I suppose.....Then, it's judgment day

Answer 6

Yes I do believe that Yesus will come back to this earth about 40 years before this universe will be collapsed.and come the resurrection day.In muslim hadith it is spoken so we do not believe that Yesus died in the wood cross.Yesus was saved by the God and replaced by other person who was almost similar.But when the world will be destroyed exactly no one knows it.Only God knows it well because He is omni knowing.

Answer 7

Yes Jesus is coming back to earth to get all those who are following him. In the Bible in says that nobody knows the day or time in which he will come not even jesus knows for God will tell him when, and God will tell him when everybody has at least been told about the word of God. We are living in the last days, Jesus is returning soon. Jesus loves you!

Answer 8

Yes...nearest I can guestimate would be within 30 years. It could happen in a year or in 10,000 years. All the signs of the time point to sooner rather than later. The point is He will return at some point in the future.

Answer 9

Yes, I believe He will,Because He said ' I'll be back. ' How soon do I think Jesus is coming back. I have to look through my telescope and I look at night .I'm watchting.

Answer 10

I absolutely belive that! The Bible says "no man knows the day or the hour." That's God's little secret. That's why we are watching & waiting.

Answer 11

Yes I do. Only God knows when. Christ doesn't know. It's writtent in the Bible.
