Given that Jesus warned his followers that he would return at a time they least expected him to, and that his appearing would be like lightning flashing from the east to the west (Matthew ch 24 vss 3-44) the best answer to this question is likely to be the one least supported by everyone else! I'm not asking for a year, or a season, but an actual day in the year. I know full well Jesus said "No man knows that day and hour" but what I'm looking for are reasons to think one particular day would be the LEAST likely, or expected.
I wonder if the 25th of December would be just such a day. What do you think?

It doesn't matter. You should be living your life according to what God has called you to do. You sould be living your life as if He were coming back tomorrow. In this way, when He returns you will be able to embrace Him without shame and with anticipation.
The disciples asked the same types of questions. Jesus' response was always the same; essentially don't worry about that. You just do what I have told you to do.

December 25th is just a guess by St Gregory and others as to the date based on the planetary alignment to create the star of David. It is probably not precise.---They couldn't get the year right after all.
I would guess Easter Sunday for the obvious reasons. Or on the day that the Green Bay Packers win their next super Bowl--Why then? He/ll leave to get away from Lombardi!

It will be a time when we all think we have finally acheived "Peace on Earth".The Anti-Christ will be ruling,the people on Earth will gladly take his mark,then all Hell will break loose and after 31/2 years Jesus will return and set things right.(All the true Christians will have already been taken away by the Rapture 31/2 years before that.So all that are left on Earth are nonbelievers and people who after the rapture then believe and have to be Martyred for their faith.

Possibly, but I would tend to look more at August or September. There are three basic holy days for the Jewish people; Passover, Hanuka, and Rosh Hashanah. We celebrate Christ's birth at Hanuka (Festival of Lights - Star in heavens), He was crucified and resurrected at Passover (Feast of Unleavened Bread- Sinless), and that leaves Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year- old is passed away). For this reason, I tend to look for His return around Rosh Hashanah. But I think what God was saying is that most people no longer look for Him to return at all. Just reading these boards will tell you that people have begun to disbelieve that God even exists. So why would they be looking for Christ's return?

The least likely would be any day ending in Y.
The 25th of December is a random holiday for Christians, based on a pagan holiday. It is absolutely not the day that Jesus was born. Assuming there is a god and jesus and etc., there is absolutlely NO basis to believe that Jesus would "return" on December 25.

I will not expect the day come as I know if heaven is everlasting, no matter it is good to have nothing to do, I cannot change any, I will commit suicide. I prefer. It will be a everlasting painful or a non stop boring.

Halloween........
Nobody would recognize him.
December 25th is not his real birthday.
Christ was born to Joseph and Mary as they were traveling to Nazareth for the Roman Census of 4 A.D. That event really happened and it only took place in the Palestine ONCE.
February and March of the year 4 A.D..... as ordered by Emperor Augustus of Rome against all Roman territories ESPECIALLY that of the Palestine.
Sorry....... December 25th is the birthday of the Deity known as Mithras.... and Emperor Constantine decreed that the Christians in Rome would ONLY worship on that day. He also forced Christians to stop worshiping in church on Saturday and MADE them pray only on Sundays.

It also said that he would come like a theif in the night, and basically even if you ARE expecting it, it will be unexpected. Either way it shouldn't affect you you live. If you want to live for Jesus you should live everyday like he's coming back.

But God wants all to be saved and come to repentance. So would he come on a Sunday when many are repenting from the weekend-lol?
Ok, you are asking an unlikely time...Jan 1?
New years eve wouldn't be a good time...many are drunk.
