No one knows when Jesus is coming back only that he is. If you read your Bible you will understand more and going to church on a regular basis will help you to understand also. You can even talk to a local minister or somebody that knows alot about the Bible and they can explain it better than I can...But your friend isn't lieing to you what he or she has told you is very true..
Hope this helps you out.

ok sweetie here's the deal, he is in heaven right now, if you die today and you are saved then your sould will be joining him in heaven and your body will go in the ground, then when the rapture takes place, all saved people from the beginning of time til now will be brought to heaven, if they were already dead, then their bodies will be renewed and joined with their souls, if they are still alive then their body and soul will not seperate, just be made perfect in the clouds with christ and go back to heaven for the next 7 years while the tribulation takes place on earth, where the antichrist will rule, some will accept christ during the tribulation and some wont, at the end of the 7 year period armageddon will take place where all the antichrists followers will make war against the believers in christ still here on earth, at that moment jesus will come back to earth with all the christians in heaven, he will defeat satan, and bind him and send him to the pit of hell for a thousand years, all unbelievers will be sent to hell with him. jesus will then re-establish the earth into a paradise and will be the ruler, the ones that were left on earth and became christians during the tribulation will still be only human and not in the perfect heavenly form, therefore they will be able to marry one another and have children, some of those children will accept jesus but some wont, they will rebel, if they don't choose him by their 100th b-day then they will ie and go to hell, if they do choose him then they will live and grow old until that 1000 years are up, at that time, satan will be released onto the earth one last time to claim whatever souls left that refuse god, he will try to use them to start an army to defeat jesus, and needless to say, he will be defeated once again and sent to hell for the rest of eternity with the rest of his followers, they will go through the great white throne judgement where jesus will seperate his lambs(believers) from goats(non-believers). then a new heaven will be made on earth, wher the old heaven in the sky will come to earth, and god's headquarters will be in jerusalem, and the earth will from that point on be heaven.

Jesus is not coming back. In the book of Matthew he claimed that he would return before the living generation had died. That generation of people has been dead for 2,000 years. So much for the amazing accuracy of biblical prophecy =P

Jesus has gone back into Heaven and has a seat on the right side of God, His Father there. He has prepared a place for all who believe in Him in Heaven too. The Bible speaks of a mansion for each of us there. We are also told that Jesus will return but that no one knows when that will be. It is to come as a surprise and is compared to how a thief in the night comes into your home. When Jesus returns to take all of the believers home with Him to Heaven, He will also put Satan in Hell forever. Satan will be bound there for the rest of all time. This is what your friend was telling you about. And God Bless You as well=) Happy New Years! Make the time you spend each day a reflection of your love for God!

It is called the "Rapture", or Revelations in the bible. Jesus will come for his believers and we will all live on the earth for 1000 years. Prior to his coming, God will take all believers to heaven and those that are left behind (non-believers) will have to deal with Satan for seven years. There will trials and tribulations, but at the end of the 7 years Jesus and his followers will return to the earth and the non-believers will be sent to the fiery lakes of hell for eternity and Satan will be banished there as well for (I believe) 1000 years. I hope that I am around when this happens because I know that I will not be left behind as I have already accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior.

At his return, Christ does not come to live on earth. Rather, those who are to rule as kings with him are taken to live with him in heaven. Jesus told his apostles: “I am coming again and will receive you home to myself, that where I am you also may be.” (John 14:3) So, when Christ returns, those who are taken to heaven become spirit persons, and they see Christ in his glorified spirit body. (1Â Corinthians 15:44) But do the rest of humankind, who do not go to heaven, see Christ when he returns?
Earthly Resurrection. While Jesus was hanging on a stake, one of the evildoers alongside him, observing that Jesus was not deserving of punishment, requested: “Jesus, remember me when you get into your kingdom.” Jesus replied: “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.” (Lu 23:42, 43) In effect, Jesus said: ‘On this dark day, when my claim to a kingdom is to outward appearances highly unlikely, you express faith. Indeed, when I do get into my kingdom, I will remember you.’ This would require a resurrection for the evildoer. This man was not a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He had been engaged in wrongdoing, lawbreaking meriting the death penalty. (Lu 23:40, 41) Therefore, he could not hope to be one of those receiving the first resurrection. Additionally, he died 40 days before Jesus ascended into heaven and hence before Pentecost, which was 10 days after that ascension, when God through Jesus anointed the first members of those who will receive the heavenly resurrection.—Ac 1:3; 2:1-4, 33.
The evildoer, Jesus said, would be in Paradise. The word means “a park or pleasure ground.” The Septuagint rendered the Hebrew word for “garden” (gan), as at Genesis 2:8, by the Greek word pa·ra′dei·sos. The paradise in which the evildoer will be would not be “the paradise of God” promised to “him that conquers,” at Revelation 2:7, for the evildoer was not a conqueror of the world with Jesus Christ. (Joh 16:33) The evildoer would therefore not be in the heavenly Kingdom as a member of it (Lu 22:28-30) but would be a subject of the Kingdom when those of “the first resurrection” would, as kings of God and Christ, sit on thrones, ruling with Christ for a thousand years.—Re 20:4, 6.
“The righteous and the unrighteous.” The apostle Paul said to a group of Jews who also entertained the hope of a resurrection that “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Ac 24:15.
The Bible makes it plain who are “the righteous.” First of all, those who are to receive a heavenly resurrection are declared righteous.—Ro 8:28-30.
Then the Bible calls faithful men of old such as Abraham righteous. (Ge 15:6; Jas 2:21) Many of these men are listed at Hebrews chapter 11, and of them the writer says: “And yet all these, although they had witness borne to them through their faith, did not get the fulfillment of the promise, as God foresaw something better for us [spirit-begotten, anointed Christians like Paul], in order that they might not be made perfect apart from us.” (Heb 11:39, 40) So, the perfecting of them will take place after that of the ones having part in “the first resurrection.”
Then there is the “great crowd” described in Revelation chapter 7, who are not members of the 144,000 “sealed” ones, and who consequently do not have “the token” of the spirit as being spirit-begotten. (Eph 1:13, 14; 2Co 5:5) They are described as coming “out of the great tribulation” as survivors of it; this would seem to locate the gathering of this group in the last days shortly before that tribulation. These are righteous through faith, being clothed in white robes washed in the blood of the Lamb. (Re 7:1, 9-17) As a class, they will not need to be resurrected, but faithful ones of that group who die before the great tribulation will be resurrected in God’s due time.
Also, there are many “unrighteous” persons buried in Sheol (Hades), mankind’s common grave, or in “the sea,” watery graves. The judgment of these along with “the righteous” resurrected on earth is described in Revelation 20:12, 13: “And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.”

Jesus doesn't come back till the 7th trumpet. And you are not going anywhere. We are to put on the Gospel Armor/WORD of GOD to stand against Satan's darts and lies of deception. Eph 6.

May the peace blessing and mercy of God be upon you
We in Islam believe that Jesus Son of Mary (Peace be upon him) will return as precondition for the Day of Judgement. He will come down and defeat the Anti-Christ.
And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.
—[Qur'an 43:61]
According to Islamic tradition, Jesus' descension will be in the midst of wars fought by the Mahdi (lit. "the rightly guided one"), known in Islamic eschatology as the redeemer of Islam, against the Antichrist (al-MasÄ«h ad-DajjÄl, "false messiah") and his followers.[15] Jesus will descend at the point of a white arcade in Damascus, dressed in yellow robes - his head anointed. He will then join the Mahdi in his war against the Dajjal. Jesus, considered in Islam as a Muslim, will abide by the Islamic teachings. Eventually, Jesus will slay the Dajjal, and then everyone from the people of the book (ahl al-kitÄb, referring to Jews and Christians) will believe in him. Those Christians who refuse to believe he shall fight. Jesus will also kill all the pigs, will break the cross, and will destroy the synagogues and churches. Thus, there will be one community, that of Islam.[3]
After the death of the Mahdi, Jesus will assume leadership. This is a time associated in Islamic narrative with universal peace and justice. Islamic texts also allude to the appearance of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (known also as Gog and Magog), ancient tribes which will disperse and cause destruction on earth. God, in response to Jesus' prayers, will kill them by sending a type of worm in the napes of their necks.[15] Jesus' rule is said to be around forty years, after which he will die. Muslims will then perform the funeral prayer for him and then bury him in the city of Medina in a grave left vacant beside Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and Umar (companions of Muhammad and the first and second Muslim caliphs respectively).[3]
