When looking for His return, please consider the following words of Christ:

                        Matthew 24:30-31,36

" 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and
they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.

 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the
four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

		     ...

 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the
angels of heaven, but my Father only."

                         Mark 13:19-37

" 19 For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was not
from the beginning of the creation which God created unto
this time, neither shall be.

 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no
flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath
chosen, he hath shortened the days.

 21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is]
Christ; or, lo, [he is] there; believe [him] not:

 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and
shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were]
possible, even the elect.

 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

 24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that
are in heaven shall be shaken.

 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the
clouds with great power and glory.

 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost
part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

 28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is
yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is
near:

 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come
to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors.

 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not
pass, till all these things be done.

 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not
pass away.

 32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not
the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the
Father.

 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the
time is.

 34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey,
who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and
to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of
the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the
cockcrowing, or in the morning:

 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."

Peace and anticipation ---

John
