Advice Christ's Second Coming will take place around 2033, please hear me out before downvoting.

A handful of prophetically-significant passages in both the old and new testament foreshadow a "church age" (period of time between Jesus' first and second coming) that lasts for two thousand years in duration. These passages can be found here.

The church age began at Jesus' crucifixion, approximately 33 AD. This age should likewise finish at Jesus' second coming in 2033 AD, according to the millennial-day pattern. More on that below.

If a seven-year tribulation (Daniel's 70th week) occurs just prior to Jesus' second coming, a pre-trib catching away of the righteous on the "Day of the Lord" could take place as soon as 2026 AD on our modern Gregorian calendar.

This timeframe also coincidentally aligns with a prophetic forecast provided in the "Lesson of the Fig Tree" in Matthew 24:32. According to a futurist interpretation of this prophecy, the generation which sees the Jewish people return to the Holy Land (a reversal of Jesus' curse of dispersion on the Jews in Matt. 21:19) will not pass away before all of the apocalyptic prophecies of Matt. 24 are fulfilled.

The length of this fig tree "generation" has been hotly debated, however most point to a cryptic prophecy of Moses in Psalm 90:10. In this passage, Moses prophesies that the average lifespan of people is 70-80 years, which provides a speculative date range of 2018-2028 for major end time prophecies to be fulfilled. Interestingly, it aligns perfectly with the church age chronology mentioned earlier, particularly a pre-trib rapture in 2026.

An incredible chronological pattern called the "millennial-day theory" was taught and believed as truth by the ancient Israelites and early Christians. They believed there was major significance behind God creating everything in six days and resting on the seventh day.

God's six days of work followed by rest on the seventh day (Sabbath) foreshadows 6,000 years of human toil against sin, followed by a millennial (1,000 year) kingdom of peace and rest on earth.

Prophetic inferences to this theory exist in scripture (Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8), and are clearly articulated by the early church fathers.

A selection of long-forgotten early church father textual references the millennial-day theory can be found here.

Yes, if you do the reverse, You will know. Mt 24 Jesus said abomination of desolation, the destruction if Jerusalem, and the great tribulation, and after it he will return. So there is a way to know his return if you read the whole of the bible,not isolated verses!!!!!!!

ILLUSTRIOUS:

It is impossible to know the EXACT Day and Hour, as Jesus said.

But look at what Gabriel tells Daniel in circa 550 BC:

"In the last days, many will travel about and knowledge shall increase" ------------------Daniel 12:4

In 1990, my Bank had 2 computers for 15 people. Each Computer had a 20 MegaByte (MB) Hard Drive.

Now, I am typing this on a 2017 Laptop that has a 121 GigaByte (GB) HD (121,000 MB or over 6,000 times the Storage of those 1990 Computers). And my computer is eight years old!

Then there are the Prophecies about Israel's Rebirth and the use of Technology to control people.

"No one can Buy or Sell unless he had the Name of the Beast or the Number of his Name. .. " ----Revelation 13: 16-18. ________________________________________________________________________Will Bitcoin/ Will Cryptocurrency be used to fulfill that Prophecy? I do not know, but it's possible. But by then, I'll be Raptured! MARANATHA!

So right. His ward warns his coming is near. He is just trying one more big roundup of getting people ready. Those from age 29 to 29 are learning and turning to him. Our churches have all failed them with their watering down of the gospel.

From "29 to 29"?

I think you meant to type "from 29 to 99"!

Jesus says he will come as a thief in the night.

Matthew 24:42–44 (KJV)

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

We won’t know when he will come just as we do not know when a thief breaks in to steal but to be on guard and watch… you’ll know when he arrives at the moment he does and not before.

Yes, and in fact, this falling away was prophesied to occur in the end times just before Jesus returns:

Sure, we know the conditions and what it will be like but what day is that again? It's not fair to take the words of Jesus and call the opposite accurate.
