And I tell you, I don't believe he needs to ask God, I believe he is God, he created Earth, while sitting on a cloud, four thousand and four years ago http://www.gerasimatos.com/?p=48, he then came to earth through his mother, Mary aprox. just over 2000 years ago and will return for more than to judge the living and the dead.

I suppose you can get annoyed with silly answers when you want real ones.
First, Jesus will return when the number of those who are to be his followers is complete. I think that will happen very soon. I base this on a few things.
First, John writing in the first century said that in the end times, people would need the mark of the beast to buy sell and trade.
Today, we have what may be the forerunner of the mark of the beast in the smart cards, the laser card readers, and other tagging devices.
The actual mark of the beast will probably be a micro-chip very similiar to what is called digitial angel. The guy who made this walked through the city and transacted stock trades to test it out. You can look this up.
In even older books of the bible, you find that in the end times, knowledge will increase. In the last 20 years, we have so vastly expanded our knowledge that people from 90 years ago would be lost in our world today. (they could adapt, but for the moment they would be lost. You can see an example in that how older people can't use a lot of the toys like VCR's for recording and need their kids to do those things. It is similar.)
If Jesus and Him crucified and resurrected were preached more often, and those who go by his name lived as he lived, he would return much sooner.
Now, something to understand. Jesus is coming for his followers and he will take them from the earth. The term, rapture comes from the greek translation and means to be caught up. From Thes. Paul says, I tell you a mystery, we shall not all sleep but will not proceed them that have fallen asleep in the Lord. But the dead in Christ shall be caught up and then we too shall be taken and with the Lord forever. (paraphrase).
The tribulation will take place, starting with 25% of the earths population dying outright.
When Jesus does return, the Jewish 144,000 preaching Jesus and the ones that have accepted the message alone will survive. Everyone else, (all the folks that just went through hell on earth and lived those 7 years) will die.) Revelations 5 has a list, the fearful, unbelieving, liars, adulters, fornicators for example are all put to death. Almost the entire world falls into the 2nd group of that list, the unbelieving.
An unbeliever is not someone who says there is no God, as you so often see on these posts, but someone who says Jesus is not God and will not accept him as savior.
I'm torn between calling Maranatha, (come quickly LORD), and desiring my friends, one of whom is a racist getting ready for a race war turning from his sin and accepting Jesus.
The only race war that is really going to be fought is between Jesus and the unbeliever and Jesus will prevail as who can stand against God.
I hope this answers your question

If you are a Christian , you shouldn't be asking a question like that. Jesus cannot be hurried by us to come back again.
The Bible tells us that no one knows the day nor the hour when the Son of man will return to earth again.
Only God Himself has the sole right to determine exactly when Jesus should come back again to earth to reign as King.

when Christianity was first being spread in by Saul, he told his flocks that they should be people of god right away because Jesus would definitly be back in their lifetimes to judge mankind. Every generation since has been expecting him any minute.....for a little under 2,000 years.

Him not needing to come down. Us understanding the existence of him is irrelevant but the teachings of morals are the point of existence.

Be the sign! Accept God's message to you and allow him to turn you into the messenger.
