May that quote help
2 Peter 3:3-13
First of all, I want you to know that in the last days men will laugh at the truth. They will follow their own sinful desires.
They will say, "He promised to come again. Where is He? Since our early fathers died, everything is the same from the beginning of the world."
But they want to forget that God spoke and the heavens were made long ago. The earth was made out of water and water was all around it.
Long ago the earth was covered with water and it was destroyed.
But the heaven we see now and the earth we live on now have been kept by His word. They will be kept until they are to be destroyed by fire. They will be kept until the day men stand before God and sinners will be destroyed.
Dear friends, remember this one thing, with the Lord one day is as 1,000 years, and 1,000 years are as one day.
The Lord is not slow about keeping His promise as some people think. He is waiting for you. The Lord does not want any person to be punished forever. He wants all people to be sorry for their sins and turn from them.
The day of the Lord will come as a robber comes. The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The sun and moon and stars will burn up. The earth and all that is in it will be burned up.
Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, you should think about the kind of life you are living. It should be holy and God-like.
You should look for the day of God to come. You should do what you can to make it come soon. At that time the heavens will be destroyed by fire. And the sun and moon and stars will melt away with much heat.
We are looking for what God has promised, which are new heavens and a new earth. Only what is right and good will be there.
have good day

Jesus was resurrected by God, his father, three days after his death at the stake by the people of Jerusalem. Meaning he is fulfilling his destiny of being ruler for (1,000 years) symbolically, in the heaven alongside His Father. When God deems it the right time, he will have Jesus come to earth, symbolically, and fight for us (his loyal followers). The people that have followed his rule and have done what he has commanded will be saved. All others that are asleep in death will arise also. Hence, Aramgeddon (His [God's] war).
You may ask yourselves who are the true followers that follow his commandments and his rules?
Let's read a bible text:
Matthew 24:14...this text not only answers who they are but when the end will come.
It says: (14) and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
The only Religion that preaches all of the inhabited earth is the Jehovah's Witnesses...
They have distributed approximately 28,578,000 watchtower magazines announcing the Kingdom of God in 161 different languages, meaning all over the world. As soon as they preach everywhere else, not too many places left, the End will come. And we can be sure about that because 2 Peter 3:9 says:
(9) Jehovah [God] is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.

Only God knows when He will send Jesus for believers. I just thank God I have such a blessed life and enjoy every minute I can. I teach school, which was always what I wanted to do, I'm married to one of the greatest guys there is, I have a very close family and wonderful friends. I'm ready for Jesus to come back, but I know that until He does, I'm going to enjoy this life he gave me. :)

Just forget about it.
Get on with your one and only life that you will ever get and, best advice ever, eliminate religion from your life altogether. You will then find that everything falls neatly into place and you can stop worrying your little socks off about something that was a lie to begin with and continues to be a perpetuated lie. The confidence trick has been seen through by so many now. Atheism is growing fast. Join us?

Jesus is at the Father's right hand in heaven. He is coming for us soon, as He promised. I've learnt that the book of psalms is prophetic, like Psalm 107 corresponds to the year 2007. Since the last chapter of Psalms is Psalm 150, then Jesus should return to earth for the church and Israel before or by the year 2050.

Mark these word when a man that seems great makes complete peace in the middle east you will know the apocolypse is coming. Soon after more hardships occur Jesus will come.

You were probably the kid who always asked "Are we there yet daddy?" :)
seriously - it isn't in any scripture when he will return. Quite the opposite - its usually referenced as "like a thief in the night" as in you'll never know until its over.

If he existed, he's likely been recycled through nature a couple of times by now.
