Then his soul is kept under the altar until the magic number of other Christians have been killed. Jesus won't return until the magic number of Christians have been killed.
Revelation 6:9-11 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...EV;MEV;NET.
So if Christians want Jesus to return they should want to get killed for their faith. Who knows when the magic number will be reached?
And more lovely tidbits from Revelation: what Jesus is going to do to those who refuse to worship him:
Revelation 14:16, 19-20
16 So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
19 So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and the blood that flowed from it rose as high as the bridles of the horses, for a distance of one thousand six hundred stadia.
Commentary posted with the verse:
The enemies of Christ and his church are not destroyed, till by their sin they are ripe for ruin, and then he will spare them no longer. The wine-press is the wrath of God, some terrible calamity, probably the sword, shedding the blood of the wicked.
