There are quite a few prophecies of the second coming of Jesus in The Bible. The earliest of these is in chapter 13 of Mark's Gospel, which has Jesus prophesy the end of the world and his own return on clouds of glory, during the lifetimes of those then living. The references to the destruction that occurred in the late 60s gives an indication of when this was expected to occur. Jesus told his listeners that they would see the Temple destroyed, and the abomination of desolation, followed by the Son of man coming in clouds of glory, and that this would take place during their own generation.
By the 80s of the first century, when Matthew's Gospel was written, the return predicted in Mark's Gospel was becoming unlikely - the generation had already passed - and the author of Matthew had to change the emphasis away from an impending end of the world. While copying as faithfully as possible from Mark, he changed the position of the sentence about "this generation", relative to the destruction of the great buildings, so that it referred to something else altogether. He added, and emphasised, material where Jesus told the disciples that the end is not yet, and that no man knows when the end of the world will occur. Matthew 24:21 talks of great tribulation that will be followed by the end of the world and the second coming.
Luke was somewhat later than Matthew and even more clearly could not say that the destruction of Jerusalem meant the end of the world. This gospel talks about the end of the world as vaguely in the future, keeping the reference to this generation, but in reference to the need to preach the gospel.
Some see further prophecies of the second coming of Jesus in the Book of Revelation. More improbably, the Old Testament has been seen by some as prophesying the second coming of Jesus.
In later centuries, the Church frequently prophesied the second coming of Jesus. Every disaster was seen as a sign of his coming. Every major milestone in the tradition of the Church was looked forward to as a propitious time for Jesus to return.
Prophecies of the second coming of Jesus gained new impetus in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with the adventist movement, Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Each prophesied second coming has failed to eventuate, requiring explanations of why the prophecy was wrong.
It seems likely that the second coming of Jesus has indeed been prophesied at least 300 times, each time unsuccessfully. It also likely that the second coming of Jesus will continue to be prophesied far into the future.

Is Jesus here with us now and is he gathering his selected people for his second coming?
Answer: The second coming of Jesus has been prophesied numerous times, ever since approximately 70 CE, always without success. If you has asked then whether Jesus would gather his selected people in the year 2011, the answer would have to have been, no more than one chance in 2000. So there is no reason to believe that Jesus will return any time soon, if in fact he ever does. It is far more likely that there will still be some people waiting for the second coming in another 2000 years time, and still without success.Answer: Many say the Son is with us now and has always been with us, simply not in physical form. However, between many, whether the Son is here for His second coming and gathering His selected people differs in speculation. Some say yes, He is, and it merely hasn't been made to be public, while others say, no, not yet but He is coming very soon with all the signs being shown like He stated. But most all who believe know it(His second coming) will happen regardless of how long the wait.

As a second Adam what are christs objectives from now until the end of times?
The first Adam failed to do what he was created to do, that is, obey God. As fallen human beings, we need a substitute to do that for us, in the flesh. God became a man (Jesus) to do what we can't, that is, obey God, perfectly. As the second Adam, Jesus comes to perfectly obey God for us, in the flesh, and gift that righteousness to those who will trust in Him, and not themselves.
