Sometime between today and ~1E1000 years from now, which is the estimated time when the universe will experience total heat death. 1E1000 is 1 followed by a thousand zeros, and is the same as saying 10^(10^3). But I suspect the Lord will return before the heat death of the universe.

Lol.......
Na......the natural death owing to the natural decay (law of thermodynamics) will be disrupted and an extinction protocol be enforced by God!
If you want opinion, then lean on men......but if you want to know the mystery......then place your eschatological views on scripture.......
Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those
days “ ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not
give its light; the stars will fall from the sky,
and
the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
What causes those events is God, because he says so....
“
If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."
It is evident that God will trigger an extinction level protocol event, that will effect our entire solar system, that will cause our planetary heavenly bodies to be dislodged from their habitable zones (alignments).
If this happened to earth by the triggering of that event, then the whole world will know it, that it is the end, because within several years the surface of the earth, including its atmosphere will become inhabitable and life support on the surface will be rendered close to the edge of what humanity could survive.
In this respect God shortens those days, by not only triggering this event, but by also bringing it to an end, by Christ's brilliant coming, that will annihilate the continuum of space and time and those elect who behold Christ's brilliant coming will be barely hanging to life. These elect will be vaporised atomically and without the pain of death, will be translated in a twinkling of an eye from the annihilated realm to the timeless multidimensional nexus of God, that is angelic, requiring heavenly bodies to experience the conscious state of being. As Jesus said, in the resurrection you will be the same as angels.
The prophecies that highlight the earth reeling to and fro like a drunkard and the earthly kings, captains and the rulers of the world hiding themselves under the cavernous rocks of the Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMB), will say.....
to the rocks above them, fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
17For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”
This is the Extinction Level Event triggered by God and scripture in Isaiah also has the remnant elect taken by The Angelic hosts to a safe zone on earth and are told......
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. (Isaiah 26:20)
19People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the
ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the
splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.
20In that day people will throw away to the moles and
bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made
to worship.
21They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the
overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the Lord
and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake
the earth.
In another place in scripture it says.....
People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for
the heavenly bodies will be shaken. (Luke 21:26)
Again we see a solar system event that will be triggered, where by the earth will be dislodged from its habitable zone and will continually quake and judder.
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD.
In the fire of his jealousy, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full and sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth. (Zephaniah 1:18)
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:
the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. (Isaiah 26:21)
Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby,
so these signs indicate that the end is near. (Matthew 24:28)
These events point to the days of slaughter, the great day of supper that God has prepared to make a quick riddance of man and beast, in this extinction level protocol event.
At that time those slain by the LORD will be everywhere--from one end of the earth to the other.
They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground. (Jeremiah 25:33)
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. (Zephaniah 1:17)
So what does man do, for God to trigger the extinction level protocol event is the question that begs and this will reveal how near we are.
