going back where one came from, seem to be not so interesting or the burden of ill deeds is so much to carry that one would rather suffer the grind on earth.
either way, faith calls for resurrection and the day of judgment. its prophesy has been made in the book as well.
current situation of the world and mankind is anything but viable for a continual growth and development spiral which is evolutionary and not evolutionary any longer.
when something expand so much, it ultimately converges on itself, that is one physical rule of the rules about universal expansion and its ultimate diffusion.
so, i would say that both from spiritual and from physical aspects, second coming is not a coming any more, but it is here already in a symbolism, at least.
discerning the signs, of course is in the hands of the believers and the true knowledge seekers.
