SURE IT COULD!
But people don't teach that because talking about the second comming of Jesus is simply a tool to make people behave (like talking about heaven and hell). They use it as a crutch to justify in their own minds the "bad" things that they see in everyday life. Instead of admitting that life isn't fair

Interesting question, biblical answer. What follows are some select regarding the second coming of Jesus and Jesus' followers.
Acts 1:7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority...."
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 28:19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Mark 13:26"At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens...."
Revelation 3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
For the Christian the second coming of Jesus is peaceful.

Dunno. But there are many views on this suject. Some people would say it was all a spiritual warfare. Others would say the second coming already took place sometime in history, like the napoleonic wars, WW2, etc. It really depends on your perspective.
As a note, the first coming of jesus was not peaceful either, and GOd is not peaceful too. Why do you think God wages war among nations for centuries and havn't dealt with it with peace. How come he murdered thousands of tribes when they attacked Israel, how come he killed thousands of Egyptians when the persued the Israelites led by Moses, how come he did not save the lives of Jews during WW2? Sometimes I question that, THE BIBLE IS FULL OF IT, its written merely by men, to be honest, they were only prohpets claiming to know jesus. I HAVE TO SAY, ITS MORE OF A STORYBOOK written by prophets, because there is not one verse that was written by JESUS HIMSELF. Think about it!!!!!

Because of the mess people have made of His creation. Fortunately, His second coming will eventually LEAD to peace...

The whole world will enter into a melinium of peace the moment He returns.. The Glorious Appearing will be accompanied by the instantaneous death of tens of millions of the enemies of God who will be gathered together to try to kill all the Jews and Christians who remain on Earth..

Since the creation of time and the first sin. Since Satan was banished from the heavens the armies of good and evil have been preparing for the final conflict. I doubt if Satan would just shake hands with God and say "OK you win coz you have more believers!!"
Cheers!

Because those who seek faith in falsehoods have bloody hands and hateful hearts and in the absence of war shall declare one on humanity in order to satisfy their own prophesies.

It will be of peace for the children of God. The ungodly I do not know where they will appear, even the bible will tell you that. One just reading their bible daily brings peace and healing to their soul.
