"And There shall be signs ... upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity ...... Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth." Luke 21v25-26.
The hope of all true Christians, is to look forward to that day of Christ's reign as King over all the earth. They know that indeed:
"God hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained." Acts 17v31
When God decides to do something at a set time then that event comes to pass with perfect exactness. God however has not revealed an exact time of what is termed in scripture as his 'appointed day:
"That day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels...... neither the Son, but the Father." Mark 13v32
Jesus therefore instructed his followers to watch for it. To enable them to this he gave clear indications of the conditions that would herald the day of his return. We can read of one such occasion when Jesus sat on the Mt of Olives and his disciples came to him privately asking:
"when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world" Matt 24v3
"abide in the day of his [Christ's] coming" the day "when he shall judge between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth not". Malachi 3v18.
Christ will return in the east.

Well, at the same time he comes to take his followers he also destroys the unbelievers....so I wouldn' t get too excited about his return if I were you.......Ha, Ha, Ha...
"So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth". - Jesus (Matt. 13:49

Even he doesn’t want them. Just be thankful that you aren’t going to heaven. Can you imagine spending an eternity with those people?

It isn't given to us to know the day, nor the hour.
But according to the Bible, you wouldn't really want to be left here.
If that's what you want, you'll have it. Guarenteed.
