Only God the Father knows. But all prophecies have been or are being lined up that His return could very well be in the next few years

You certainly do provoke thought for yourself! lol
When is the question of the day. But here, let's go a bit further. Good question(s) by the way.
If you read Ezekiel 38 & 39, and Zechariah 14, you will see that there are armies that come against Israel. Until that time, Jesus won't return. You will see a concerted effort by Israel's enemies to conquer Israel.
But here is another timing issue; many Christians believe that the event to look forward to in their time is the so called Rapture of the Church. As Paul calls the church 'the Body of Christ', so the church awaits the 'taking away' that is seen through the scriptures. It occurs just as the Man of Perdition is revealed. When will that be? THAT is the question on all of our minds. At least for those of us who believe in it.
"Does Gen.3:15 which is the oldest prophecy in bible have anything to do with it?"
From the commentary from the Bible Knowledge Commentary by Walvoord and Zuck: The serpent would cripple mankind, and the offspring of man would destroy the serpent; all prophecies that would take a lot of time to be fulfilled except for the crippling part, which would go on continually. In Revelation, Satan is the serpent that decieved the whole world. And Satan is destroyed as well, especially by the Lord Jesus, who took power away from Satan at the crucifixion.
"Rom.16:20;
Apostles expect Satan to be under their feet, does that have any thing to do with it."
Yes. But notice where the power is coming from to do the crushing. It is through God that man even has a chance. Otherwise, there's no crushing! God keeps His word, it's what we have to go by as far as trusting God. So the verse can be linked to this; Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds out of the mouth of God.
"Dan.12:1-13;
Michael and Rev.12:1-12[ Satan a short time ]; What is with Michael and Satan, when?"
I think that 'when' is best understood by looking at Revelation as a sequence of events in order from chapter 1 to the end of the book. So the school of thought that I am from believes that it will be after the Great Tribulation, and then after the Second Coming, and then after the Millenium. So a long time from now.
Michael and his angels cast Satan out of heaven so that he has no access into heaven like he does now in Revelation 12.
"Matt.24:3;
End of World, what does it mean?"
Well, Jesus said that there would be not one stone upon another. He was referring to the temple, and the disciples asked him when? They used "Aeon" (transliteration), which implies the World, but actually means 'age.' So the 'ending of the age.' They were referring to the end of the Temple. A shocking thing to hear for them, I am sure. But the temple had been destroyed before, so it was not a concept that was too strange to them. Though to thik that it would again be torn apart, that must have caught them off guard for a bit.
"Eph.2:7; 3:21;
World with Jesus is without end. John 3:16;
1Cor.15:22-28,51-53;
If world with Jesus is without end, why heaven and hell, any other options?"
No. No other options. I think that I have it right; that Hell is a place where nothing else is. What's in Hell stays in Hell. At least, after it is all said and done it is. The Kingdom of God that is referred to here is the Kingdom that is set up after Heaven and Earth passes away, and a New Heaven, and new Earth is created.
"Rev.2:7;
Where and when is Paradise? Luke 23:43 [ paradise promised by Jesus ];"
I don't know! lol
If you find out, let me know, okay?

Just kidding.
According to the Bible:
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Matthew 24:36
It seems to me that the Christians who go on and on and on about "End Times" this and that are way too preoccupied with the future (which they can't foretell) and are not paying enough attention to that other little verse, you know, the one where Jesus says "Love your neighbor"...and we're all neighbors, aren't we?
If you are taking care of business, it won't matter when He comes back, because your bags will always be packed.

Jesus will come as a thief in the night so you are to be always ready. No man knows the day or the hour but the Father. So the second coming will happen when God wills it.

It is said, that a group of the last of the believers of God, where those people are in a very weak state, a group of fighters in the name of God will be praying on sunrise, when Jesus descends. However, he doesn't descend to be a prophet or leader, but as a normal man that comes to kill the other person claiming to be Jesus.
