What events have come and passed that are prophesized in the bible that have to do with what has to happen before Jesus comes back.

Mainworry has given several. (I just have a different take on the rapture.) In fact, there are no prophecies left to be fulfilled before Jesus takes His church to be with Him prior to the Tribulation.
There are several prophecies that will be fulfilled during and after the Tribulation.
Others here are fulfilling Peter's prophecy.
As it is written: "First of all you must understand this: In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us by saying, "What happened to his promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of creation." (II Peter 3:3-4)

When she is good and ready ;)
You are waiting the return of the Messiah here. Jews have been waiting for like 5000 years with no satisfaction
When Jesus/The Messiah does come, Some Jews will accept it (just like when Jesus came) most will not. Same with Christians. Some will accept the messiah creating a new religion, and most will keep waiting. It's all a matter of faith and changing people's faith is a very hard thing to do.

Very soon.
SIGNS
Christ gave some events to recognize the end times.
In Matt.24:3-8, Mark 13:5-8, Luke 21:8-11.
Many shall come in my name (authority) saying I am Christ (Christian) and shall deceive many.
The best example of this is the so-called Rapture. This is a LIE which can easily be disproved by God’s Word. Christ returns at the seventh trump.
Wars and rumors of war.
Nation shall rise (rouse from obscurity) against (along side) nation kingdom against (along side) kingdom.
The words “shall rise” (eg-i'-ro) in Greek means “rouse from obscurity”.
This word “against” (epi) in Greek means “along side” not in opposition to.
Since 1990 (30) new countries have emerged. We now have the global market place or the global community.
Famines.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
This famine of hearing the words of the LORD is very apparent on TV. Maybe a verse or two then mans’ words for 20 minutes.
Pestilences.
Aids, mad cow disease, bird flu and etc.
Earthquakes in diverse places.
This word “earthquakes” (seismos) in Greek means both “earthquake and tempest”.
Look at the hurricanes we have been having.
All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs).
This word “sorrows” (odin) in Greek means “birth pangs of childbirth”.
The birth pangs of a new dispensation, and the contractions are getting closer together. The water may have broke during the tsunami of 2004.

Bible prophesies are like Gypsy fortunes, they can be interpreted in a lot of ways.
I don't think you will ever be able to sort out the answer to your question because the Bible prophesies are so very nonspecific. I'm also more than just skeptical about the idea that Jesus is ever 'coming back' - one does not die and return to life. It's completely ridiculous to believe otherwise.

You can go here to read the "Signs of the Day of Judgment." One of them is the returning of the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him.)

A lot of the signs have already come to pass and there are a lot we are going through right now. But only God knows exactly when this will happen. :)

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

With your way of thinking, you will not have to worry, Because he will come as a thief in the night when you least expect it.
