Will not come back until

Hello...

"I will not come back until Tuesday." means "I will come back on Tuesday."?

And, "I will come back until Tuesday.", non-negative, is not much used?

I will not come back until Tuesday. (Don't bother looking for me before then.)
I will come back on Tuesday. (If you need me, I will be here on Tuesday.)

The second is not good grammar. It is not used at all.

Clear?

Thanks a lot, Doctor D!!

To make it perfectly clear....

"I will not come back until Tuesday." means "I will come back on Tuesday.", not "I will come back on Monday."?
