The exact date Jesus will come back to Earth has been 'revealed'.
Jesus Christ died on the cross over 2,000 years ago and rose from the dead just three days later on what Christians across the globe now celebrate as Easter Sunday.
Jesus then made his way to heaven to rejoin God, where he has remained ever since. Known as the Ascension, 11 of Jesus' apostles witnessed him being taken up to heaven. In the Bible, the book called the Acts of the Apostles describes this event.
"After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight," the religious text reads, as per BBC.

"They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 'Men of Galilee,' they said, 'why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven'."
There's long been a belief that there will be a Second Coming of Jesus and that he'll return to Earth.
In several books in the Bible, including those of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, it speaks of Jesus' return from heaven being 'personal, visible and glorious, a blessed hope for which we should constantly watch and pray'.
It's never been entirely clear when Jesus would return to Earth once more, but Pastor Joshua Mhlakela says that Jesus came to him in a vision and revealed when he'll be back.

"I'm not dreaming, I'm looking at him as he's talking," the pastor recalled in an interview with CettwinzTV shared in June.
"He's speaking through him mind," he continued to say. "He says to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, I will come to take my church."
What Pastor Joshua is referring to is the rapture. This is the idea that Jesus will return to Earth and gather true Christian believers to take them up to heaven with Him.
Those who are not will remain on the Earth to wait for a Doomsday-like event to occur.
"The chaos that will be in the world, the destruction, the devastation that will be in the world after the rapture, there will be no World Cup 2026," he continued.
As to how long such devastation will go on for, it is supposedly said that it'll be seven years long.
Confirming when the Second Coming will take place, Pastor Joshua claims he was told by Jesus in his vision: "On the 15th of September 2032, I will return to Earth as king."
