I would like precise details and concrete evidence, to the time, place and manner in which Jesus will fly down from heaven and rectify all the world's problems.

It's not going to happen. At all. Period.

Matthew 24 and Mark 13 explain specific events that will happen prior to The Lord's second coming to this earth.The Bible tells us that every human being, will see Jesus when He appears in glory.(Rev.1:7)"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. And we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air."(1Thessalonians4:16,17)"Many prophets will appear and will lead many people astray. Sin will be rampant everywhere, but those who endure to the end will be saved.And the good news about the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world"Matthew24:13,14
Revelations14:9,10"If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark...will drink of the wine of God's fury"-The beast-,a church-and-state union, that will command alliegance. Matthew24:9-"You will be arrested, persecuted and killed. You will be hated all over the world because of your alliegance to the Lord"
"Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong, let him who is holy, continue to be holy"(Rev.22:11)God's children will be protected from these plagues:(Rev.16-17)
1-Painful sores 2-Sea as blood 3-fresh water as blood 4-sun scorches the unsaved 5-darkness on the seat of the beast 6-armageddon(last war) 7-earthquakes and hailstones
Matthew24:26"If anyone tells you look the Messiah is out in the desert, don't bother to go and look. For as the lighting lights up the entire sky, so it will be when the son of man comes"***No one knows the day or the hour when these things will happen, not even his angels in heaven or the Son, only the Father"Matthew24:36 Just so, when you see the events I've described beginning to happen, you can be sure that His return is very near."Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will remain forever."

No man may know the day and hour....not the angels..but God the father Only....
however we can and do know times and seasons when the "end" or last generation would take place....
Jesus said---------> You shall see signs of the END of the Age..earthquakes..famines..pestlience...wars and rumors of wars..BUT The END is NOT YET>..now LEARN A Parable of the Fig Tree..when it puts forth leaves you KNOW That summer/harvest/END is nigh...THIS GENERATION Shall not pass til All is fulfilled........
who or what is the fig tree? the fig tree is Israel as documented in Jeremiah 24:2...now liken these figs unto Israel for I will bring them again to this land which I have Promised Abraham..I will plant them and not pluck them up....
Israel/fig tree was brought again to the land for the first time in over 1500 years in 1948..thus fulfilling prophecy and ushering in the "End" or the last generation....generations are given as 40, 60, 70 and 120 years in the bible....
tick tock says the prophecy clock....just keep an eye on israel/iran/iraq/russia and you'll know when....

Matthew 24
The Day and Hour Unknown
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' 49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Are you ready???

You won't know the time.
It will happen in one day Luke 17:26-30 compared to Noah and flood and Lot and Sodom.
No signs
Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
Not silent
1 Thes 4
16-shout
17-caught with him in the air
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Matt 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Destruction of earth
2 Pet 3:10ff tells us the earth will be burned up at Jesus coming (coming=end=burned up). You can’t reign 1000 yrs on something that isn’t there.
Resurrection of dead and punishment of wicked and righteous happen on the day of the Lord, the end.
2 Thes 1:7-9 also says that both events-judgment on righteous and wicked will happen on the day of theLord.
Acts 24:15 speaks of one resurrection and 2 groups getting either reward or punishment.
John 5:28-29 says in the hour of his coming the righteous will go to the resurrection of life and the wicked to the resurrection of damnation and all will come out of the grave. One moment and two resurrections are spoken of, not two different events.
1 Cor 15 talks about the coming of the Lord and says the end comes on that day.
The kingdom is in existence now, under Christ’s rule; he gives it back to the Father at the end.
1 Cor 15:24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
The tribulation and 1000 year reign are misinterpretations of Revelation and other scriptures.
John 12:48 his words will judge on the last day
So we see that judgment (not of only righteous or only
wicked, but both) will occur on the last day, the day
the end comes, the day of the Lord, when the elements
will be burned up.

Jesus Christ is the Universal Divine Cosciousness or the Constant Integrated Awareness. who has been present all through the ages and need not descent time and again. Only the physical body changes but the content - the divine consciousness remains the same. One needs a spiritual eye or pragnya to grasp and comprehend this. To cite few examples: Can't you find him in Mother Theresa's compassion for humanity and its ailings. Cant you find him in Bhagawan Sri Satya Sai Baba's Universal Love? He can manifest in any form and shape to redeem the humanity from its ailments. He has been with us and will be with us guiding our movements each and every moment. It needs a good and loving heart to find the Lord in every micro or macro aspects of nature.
The Cosmic Dance you find through Astrophysical science in the starry or planetary universe and the Cosmic Dance you understood through the atomic structure reveal the existence of THAT Universal Consciousness! 'anoraneeyan mahato maheeyan' is the scriptural evidence from the eastern spiritual science. He is manifest in you too in the form of compassion, kindness, charity. When you see an event which melts your heart and your eyes get watered at the event, it is because the Lord Jesus is manifest in you! He is there right at that moment because he is the embodiment of compassion, kindness, empathy in you. He is always present in Samishti ( the multitudes)
So dear friend when he has not gone away from the heart of his "true" believers where is the question of His home coming or returning to earth. He is indweller of all his true devotees. He is permanatly seated firmly in the heart of all his devotees and believers. I believe in his Omnipresence.He belongs to the religion of that divine and universal love. Kindly show me the place in the entire universe where there is no feature of 'love'. He is with us -including the non-believers-right now!
Thank you for the opportunity given to me to express my opinion on the topic of Jesus' home coming. Pardon me if I make any statements not relavent.

jesus is to return to the world to dig all tehgraves of believers and non-belieers at some point of time .Allah is also tosend his angels to dig up all teh graes of belivers and non-belivers at some point of time for the same purpose .since there is a problem in this that if both wer eto come on different dates one of hem will e left with nothig to dig up.So they will have to come to an agreement to share the graves between themselves.,so that they can have an equal share of graves for digging up and an equal number of people to pass judgement on.They have not yet come to an agreement in this respect . There is alo the problem relating to those whose bodies are cremated. They are yet to find a way to bring those people for judgement .So far , so good for those who are resting in their graves .It is unlikely for these two to arrive at an agreement in the near future . That is till the end of the world , since the followers of these two are fighting a bitter battle all over the world .So all the graves would be saved .

No man (or woman) knows the hour nor the day of his return, but we do know that He will return. This world has not seen any problems like it will after the Lord comes and takes away his Bride. I would hate to be left behind.

The Word of God says He will come suddenly, like a thief in the night. No one knows when. That is so we will believe in Him, and know that we don't have the luxury of endless time. He could come back at any moment so we are to be always ready and bring as many to the Lord as possible.

God deliberately does not tell us. He does not want us to know. He wants us to "watch" for His comming and live every moment like it could be the last on earth, because any moment very well could be the last.
The BIble talks about this in many places.
It says we are to watch because no one knows the day or the hour.
The day will come like a "thief in the night."
It is meant to be unexpected for all of us on purpose.

Read the Bible and it will tell you...
It is near, even at the door.
If a homeowner knew when the theif was to rob his house, he would stay up and keep watch on his house, but we don't know the hour, only that He is coming very soon.
If you open the Bible and the News paper, and compare them to one another, you would be amazed at what you find.
The reason you don't believe is that the Holy Spirit has not entered into your heart. I guarantee if you ask Him into your heart, He will come in and then you will understand the scriptures, and how close His returning is.
