when is Jesus coming back?

 Of course nobody knows. Supposedly about 1/7 of the planet is Christian. That means that 6 billion people don't think Jesus resurrected from being dead. They don't think Jesus came back to life and floated off into the sky and returned to the command center in heaven. Even as a Christian the thought may cross your mind, why would Jesus do that? Well of course it's all a big mystery, the next big event we Christians are all waiting for is the Antichrist. This is a guy who will act like Jesus and will essentially Force everyone into a world system where you receive a mark on your right hand or your forehead. For the people that refuse he finally kills them. Then Jesus will return and trample Satan and all his followers into goo. This is what the Bible teaches. So Jesus can't come back tomorrow. It takes a minimum of 42 months for this Antichrist guy to take over. So if the Antichrist guy shows up tomorrow we're still 42 months out. Even then the clock isn't perfectly clear. Some people say it could last 7 years some people say it might be as short as 5 months. Let's just go with the 42 months that it talks about in Revelation which is roughly three and a half years. When you throw all that together it's obviously we don't really know when Jesus is coming back. And even then his return is going to be fairly ugly for everybody that's alive. Better to die now and avoid the hour of temptation. Of course if you do things right you really don't get any choice in any of this, it's all up to God. Your job is to be faithful, God's job is to figure it all out.
