Obviously I'm not Jesus but how are you going to tell if someone with white robes, a handsome face appears and says : " I'm Jesus, and I am here for the final days."
How can you make sure whether he is Jesus or not ?

In Matthew and Revelation it says that many people will come claiming to be him, but won't be, and that many people will be tricked. It says that as the lightening in the west is visible in the east so will the coming of Jesus. It says he will appear in the sky and everyone will know that it is him when he comes.

I will be amazed thoroughly by your presence and actions, and probably would call you an impostor. Jesus Christ in the first place is not handsome as others convey, as Isaiah 53:2 says, "... he hath no form nor comliness, and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him"
As to the 2nd time Jesus coming as the scripture says, "They will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." (Luke 21:27)
"For as the lightning comes out of the east and shines even to the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man." (Mat 24:27)
"For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." (Mat 24:38-39)
Now that we know what to look for, we know that the Second Coming is near. "Near" such an imprecise term. What does it mean, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, ten years from now, forty or more, years from now? The only certainty is that the 2nd coming is closer today than it was yesterday.

This is a very deep and intellectual question. Plenty of people have been fooled into thinking a person, or "cultish lifestyle" is godly or of Christ. Common sense is something that I was trained in, but common sense is less evident today. Plenty of well meaning people get sucked into religious ideologies that are just someones, egocentric, nefarious plan to control them. Take for example the CULT of "Scientology"; and that easily influenced girl Katie Holmes, she may never fully recover from the effects of her indoctrination by Tom Cruise and his cronies! There are a lot of cults in the world, and hopefully people will develop skills in discernment so they do not wind up like those people who joined Jim Jones cult. Or heaven's gate, or what ever. But if you read the bible and find an appropriate spiritual mentor, you should be able to avoid the pitfalls of cultism! God Bless and eat more peanut butter!

Well, Hmm. Here is another qeustion for you--what would you do if you were praying and you felt that Jesus talked to you? How would you know it was really him, the pizza you ate the night before, or something else?
Well, when Jesus does return, it will be with a rather large army. I don't think any of the nations on earth today will render control of their teritories without a fuss. This will take some convincing especailly when the US spends upwards of $500B/year on its war machine.

When Jesus returns, the Bible says that every eye shall C Him. So, when people say they saw Jesus at the beach or in the park or on the highway, we're not 2 believe it unless the entire world saw Him at the same time.
Happy Sabbath.

If you are a true christian and communicate with God everyday you will know. The bible says even the elect would be fooled in the end times ( by the antichrist claiming to be Jesus) except it be for him. His grace and mercy will show you the truth. I am the light and the truth saith the Lord. If you truly know him he will show you the truth. If you read your bible you will know when the day of the antichrist arrives

Well he won't show up in a manger next round, he is coming down from heaven and through the gates of Jerusalem, no one will have a problem identifying him then. 'every knee will bow....." That day will be the just beginning so be ready.
Hope that helps ~A~

To began with I don't think Jesus would be so interested in our clothes -but who we are inside-when the real JESUS comes you will know it -read revelations-if you can't understand ask for understanding! I do believe we should be covered as best as we can be- in other words we can not so around naked -because of disobedience!

If I heard a trumpet sound & saw you split the eastern sky & descend from the clouds then sure I'd believe you were Jesus. But I don't believe we will be seeing you do that now will we. Have a great day & God bless.

In the book of Revelation, Jesus' next appearing will be to collect the church. He will not set foot on the earth, he will appear in the clouds. In Matthew 24:4,5 Jesus says, "Be careful that no man deceives you. For many will come in my name and say, 'I am Christ;' and will deceive many." So I say if you are Christ, why are you on earth instead of in the clouds, why are you on the computer instead of calling the church away. And then I say that you are a liar and the Father of lies. Get thee behind me Satan, you are not Christ.
