In this thread I'd like to present evidence and speculate that the return of Jesus Christ will take place on Dec. 26, 27, or 28 of 2038.
First, I believe that the return of Jesus Christ must take place at the end of December because of the following verse:
"9And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them." Rev. 11:9-11
There is a holiday where everyone rejoices, makes merry, and sends gifts one to another - and that holiday is Christmas. I believe that the death of the two witnesses is coinciding with a Christmas celebration, and the inhabitants of the earth are extra-happy on that day because the two witnesses are dead.
Since Jesus Christ returns very quickly after the resurrection of the two witnesses (which takes place 3.5 days later), Christ must return at the end of December of some unknown year. However, there is obviously no way to calculate this year unless there is some other type of evidence to go off of.
Here we must make an assumption. I think that it is reasonable to assume that the sign of Christ's first coming will also be the sign of Christ's Second Coming. In other words, the 'star in the east' that the wise men saw, which symbolized Christ's first coming, will also appear and symbolize the second coming.
I think it is certainly reasonable to think that God will put some sort of sign in the heavens for Christ's return. The question, then, is what was the sign of Christ's first coming?
I believe that the sign of Christ's first coming was the conjunction of Jupiter/Regulus in the constellation Leo the Lion. Jupiter is the king planet, Regulus is the king star, and Leo is not only the king of the Zodiac but also the sign of Jesus Christ (the Lion of the tribe of Judah, etc.). This, then, would be the sign that the wise men saw in the east.
This exact thing happened on Sep. 11, 3 BC. Incidentally, Sep. 11, 3 BC marks the beginning of the Jewish festival of Rosh Hashanah. Also, the sign in Revelation 12 of the woman clothed with the sun with the moon under her feet also occurred on this exact day.

Therefore I think that the sign of Christ's first coming was the conjunction of Jupiter/Regulus in Leo, which occurred on Sep. 11, 3 BC.
Knowing that Christ returns at the end of December, and assuming that the same sign will be repeated as a sign of the Second Coming, one would look for a conjunction of Jupiter/Regulus at the end of December of some year. In fact, in the year 2038 there is such a conjunction:

Interestingly, the conjunction in 2038 actually begins around November 11 and lasts (in fits and starts) all the way to January, which is rather rare. I think that this may be emphasizing the imminence of the return of Christ. Here's a picture from November 11:
2038 is a couple of decades away, which gives enough time for the events in the book of Revelation to come to pass. Obviously, this is just speculation, and if the year 2036 rolls around and nothing has happened we'll know Christ's return is not in 2038 (since 2036 would be in the tribulation). However, I think it is educated speculation and may indeed be the very time that Jesus Christ returns.
One final note - there are some who say that the 'stars fall from heaven' and therefore there can be no Zodiac studies. However, the stars fall at (or just prior to) the return of Jesus Christ (see Mt. 24:29, Isa. 34, Joel 3, Rev. 6, etc.). Therefore, there can still be a 'sign' in the heavens revealing Christ's return.
