No one knows the day nor the hour of Christ's return.
36)"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father.
37)As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38)For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39)and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40) Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
41) Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42)"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
43) But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44) So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45)"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?
46) It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
47)I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48)But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'
49)and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50)The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.
51) He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.."
Matthew 24
Thus I say to you all you can do is live as if it was the day that you will meet God face to face. Be prepared to account for each and everything you do and be covered by the grace of God. I hope and pray that you have done what it takes not to be LEFT BEHIND.

John.5
[22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
John.12
[47] And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John.9
[39] And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Rev.12
[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Okay, from these passages I want to make a point. Do not get "judgement" and "accuse" confused. The word judgement, when talking about what God or Jesus is going to do, should not be used in the sense like "I am going to judge you and condemn you for that". That would be the same as accusing them. Because it says in revelation that the accuser will be "cast down". The word judgment should be considered to mean a "deciphering tool". Something that tells YOU from within "yes that is correct" or "no, don't believe that". And this something is different than your "ego" which eat of the tree of knowlege of good and evil, this is the accuser of the brethern.
So to answer the question..
2Peter 3:7-10. It could be years from now.

The Bible clearly states that nobody will know the time or the hour that the Lord will come. He could come at anytime, that's why you are supposed to be prepared and ready for anything. The Bible also states that you need to get your house in order. So if you think that you need to prepare or that you are not ready, i advice you to get it done now. He could come in the next 15min.

The Bible says that no man knows. Prepare now. John 3:16 is the guide.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
If people claim to know the date they are a liar.... the word clearly shows us that only the Father knows that.

According to the Bible, only God knows. Since no human being knows, perhaps we should start preparing right away.

There will be two judgments. The judgment of the saved will occur just after the "rapture" to determine their degree of rewards. The judgment of the unsaved will occur at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ which will determine their degree of punishment.

Only God knows. That's why we should live each moment like He's coming back the next.

YOU SHOULD ALREADY BE PREPARED...IF YOU AREN'T YOU NEED TO GET READY....IT SAYS IN THE LAST DAYS PEOPLE WILL PROPHESIED AND DREAM DREAMS....READ THIS............
THE DREAM
I DREAMED ONE NIGHT TWO ANGELS CAME TO MY BED. THEY TOOK ME TO HEAVEN I FELT I HAD NOTHING
TO DREAD. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF A BIG WHITE GATE. IT OPENED SLOWLY AS WE STOOD IN WAIT.
MANY CLOUDS BILLOWED AND SWIRLED ABOUT US AS I STOOD IN AWE OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THAT
SURROUNDED US. WHAT I SAW WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS, I WANTED TO STAY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS.
THE ANGELS ALLOWED ME TO LOOK INSIDE, THE BEAUTY THE MAJESTY, MADE ME CRY.
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S ALL TRUE, I KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE" I HEARD MYSELF CRY, AS TEARS RAN STREAMING
FROM MY EYES.
I KNEW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT OF THIS EARTH,THIS CREATION WAS FOR THOSE OF THE NEW BIRTH. THE
POWER, THE BEAUTY, THE SIGHT OF IT ALL WAS SO STRONG,THAT THE ANGELS SHUT THE GATES QUICKLY
TO MY NEW HOME. "IT'S NOT YOUR TIME," I HEARD THEM SAY, " WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS
ON THE WAY," THEY SAID "YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN INSIDE THE GATE, BUT YOU WILL REMEMBER WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN.YOU MUST TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS DREAM. THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE. IT'S THE REAL THING.
GOD HAS LET YOU SEE WHAT IS YOUR REWARD IF YOU WORSHIP, LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS WORD."
WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S REALLY TRUE. WE NEED TO GET THE LOST ONES IN IF IT'S ALL THAT WE
DO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, THE END IS NEAR, AND YES, IF YOU ARE LOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
CALL ON JESUS NOW, SO YOU CAN GO TO AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SAW AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED TOO.
I'LL SOON BE IN MY NEW HOME,PASS THE BIG WHITE GATES. DON'T YOU WANT TO GO THERE TOO? I JUST CAN'T
WAIT!!!!
I REALLY DREAMED THIS DREAM JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN. I FEEL IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD AND HE GUIDED MY
THOUGHTS AND MY HAND IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.
I AM GIVING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND GOD HAS DIRECTED ME TO DO SO.
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP YOU TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE
TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND TO SERVE HIM. SO YOU, ONE DAY
WILL STAND AT THE BIG WHITE GATES AND BE INVITED IN TO STAY, FOR ETERNITY.
GOD BLESS YOU
