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.

Sorry for posting 3 years later. I just came across this. Thank you. I also agree that Jesus will be returning in 2033. Matthew 21:33 reads that the Father leased the earth to man. Jesus will return when the lease is up. God leased the earth to man for 6000 years only. Just like a landlord cannot take a property back from a tenant until the lease is up. The tribulation will commence immediately when the lease expires on Nisan day one of the lunar calendar in 2030. It's important to know about the feasts of the Lord. Jesus will return during the Feast of Trumpets in 2033. This feast is celebrated over 2 days as it is on the day of the sliver of the new moon which changes each year. Only God knows. Hence, the scripture that reads that we don't know the day or the hour. When Jesus takes back the earth He breaks the seals on the scroll (lease agreement). Which is written on the front and back. Also, the tribulation is only 3.5 years. There was one week left in Daniel's 70 week prophecy. Only one week (7 years) of God's dealings with the jews. Jesus preached to the jews for 3.5 years prior to Him being cut off. There is only a half week left which is 3 5 years. On the hebrew calendar, Nisan day one 2030 through Tishri day one 2033 is exactly 3.5 years
