"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth". - 1 Tim. 4:1-3
Look at doctrine of Seventh Day Adventists (forbidding literal meat of all sorts), Mormons (if you wish to use the alternate definition of 'meats' as in food, Mormons forbid caffiene, which is found in several foods and drinks, and hence those foods and drinks are off-limits), Law-embracing Christians (those who only eat clean meats, while unclean ones are offlimits), the ruckus of the "religious right/Conservative Christians" and gay marriage, and the results of the forbidding of marriage within the Catholic clergy.
"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places." - Rev. 6:12-14

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake - 9.0 Indian Ocean earthquake and following tsunami just over a year later. (forgive the rather liberal interpretation here, but doesn't a tsunami's wave, if you're standing under it, look a bit like the sky rolling up like a scroll?) "...and it was large enough that it caused the entire planet to vibrate at least half an inch, or over a centimetre."
"But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." - Mat. 24:20-22

"...occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) December 26, 2004...The shift of mass and the massive release of energy very slightly altered the Earth's rotation. The exact amount is yet undetermined, but theoretical models suggest the earthquake shortened the length of a day by 2.68 microseconds (2.68 µs, or about one billionth of the length of a day), due to a decrease in the oblateness of the Earth." ...It occured about an hour or so after the Sabbath had ended, in the first month of winter. It might be taken out of context some to match, but it is an uncanny resemblence.

You can't put a date on the second coming as it can come at any time, no one knows when it will come. The signs that we have today that show that the second coming is near are shown on the news, things such as wars, terrorism, natural disasters, poverty, diseases and sicknesses. These things were mentioned would come to pass as written in the bible.

there would have to be a first in order to have a second, the stories of christ were compiled from old ancient tales that had been passed round tribes for centuries, Krishna and Ra and Dionysus all have near identical stories of their lives, the Christ one was one of the last to be told. its called syncretism,
P.s: I'm meeting Allah and Buddah for a few smokes later so I'll ask them if ya like..

No one other than Michael ,Jesus, really knows , but based on present conditions and history of revelations I hypothesize another 1000 years. That is not to say that other sons may come first.

it is a secret for a reason. Just act like it will be tomorrw and keep your lamp full of oil. Every second you spend on the end times is a second you could have spent better doing something else like acts of kindness.

Is this the orbiting Jesus theory, every so often he swings back in the direction of Earth like a comet?

When I come I usually only come once and then have a cigarette and go to bed.I don't usually have the stamina to have a second coming.
