It's impossible to say which is better because you've given no context.
For most situations you probably want the first one, but without context no one can tell you exactly which to use.

Setting up circumstances for using the second example would not be very easy. It isn't a probable sentence. Use the first one.
I will meet you are the theater. I will be there by 5. (I won't be any later than 5.)
