People have been predicting the Second Coming of Christ for the longest time and still haven't gotten it right. Why? Because the Bible clearly states that no one will know when that day is (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32; 2 Peter 3:10). Many have said that the day has already occurred, but we are still here. When Christ returns, that will be the end of time. Jesus is not coming to set up his kingdom. He did that already on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2). His church is His kingdom (1 Corinthians 15:24; Colosians 1:3; 1 Thessalonians 2:12). Jesus is not coming to reign a thousand years. He's already reigning and will continue to reign until "I make thine enemies thy footstool" (Matthew 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:43; Acts 2:35; Hebrews 1:13). The Bible says "For he must reign, till he hath put all enmies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (1 Corinthians 15:25-26)." As long as there is sin, death, chaos and confusion, Jesus Christ has not returned. Besides, when Jesus returns again, EVERYONE is going to know it!! Jesus may've come into the world quietly the first time, but his second coming will be a big event, with trumpet fanfare, angels, and more than enough special effects to put any 4th of July fireworks display to shame (Matthew 24: 30-31; Mark 13:24-27; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelations 1:7).
Rest assured that Jesus has yet to return, but he is coming! We still have time to get ready for that day, but how much time do we have exactly? No one knows....no one, but God, the Father.

lol. If they did, everyone would lose out, since Christ returned in 1844 AD, exactly as promised in the Book of Daniel!!!
