I saw a book in a bookstore today when will the Parousia (2nd Coming of Jesus Christ) happen. According to this book, that it will happen on 9:00 PM of October 21, 2100. Is this true? Is there anyone who witnessed a Parousian Apparition? How is number 21 related with the bible? Pls. state your theories.

It will happen.
I don't think you can specify a time (due to the differences in time zones) or even a date (because the calendar has been changed and shifted, the days haven't been perfectly counted) even if you could "mathematically calculate" how much time it would be before he came back.

There is no certain time when Christ will return. Even Jesus said that only the Father knows. He himself didn't even know what would God supposively tell someone else (assuming that's how they say they know). There is no way to determine the exact hour or day or even month or year that Jesus will return, but he did tell us to watch for the signs, and so far they are all taking place. His return is much closer than we think. At any minute he could come again. He could even come before I finish typing this. The important thing is that we stay ready and keep watching for his return and that we stayed prayed up.

While we cannot say a direct day or hour of His second coming I believe that He will be coming within the next decade or two. I have deeply studied prophecy in Revelation, (Historical viewpoint) and six of the seals have already happened. We are just waiting for the seventh seal. Then everything is going to go downhill very quickly. The third angel's message will go to the world very soon. And only one group will be preaching it. The call to come out of Babylon and the preaching of the everlasting gospel will go to all the world very soon. When you see this happen, heed the call, for the end will come shortly thereafter.

Matthew 24:35-37 (New International Version)
35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Well, my prediction is that there will be a whole lot of fundamentalists, particularly in the bible belt south, that are going to be darned upset when Jesus comes back in the body of an underprivileged black woman from the ghettos of New York.

Anyone who thinks they can predict the day and hour of Christ's 2nd coming is explicitly going against Christ's own teaching. He says of that day and of that hour no one knows. So I believe in Christ's own teaching, and refuse to make any predictions, or to listen to anyone who does.

The bible says specifically that noone knows the time.
Keep that in mind whenever you hear someone claiming that they know.
Also keep in mind that the whole thing about Jesus being resurrected, and ascending into heaven was made up, as was the bit about him coming back.

Prediction:
It's an absolute definite that He's coming
Don't believe the hype about trying to pin-point the time & date. No one knows but the Father Himself

Whatever the Bible tells us is what my prediction is.
