or a secret knock? will he have a birthmark in the shape of a cross on his forehead? or will he just magickally make you know? What if he has already been here and gone and you just weren't good enough for him? What if he didn't like you very much(like a lot of people) let alone love you?

I definitely wouldn't run to the first guy claiming he was the reincarnation of Him. I've heard that the anti-Christ will come and people will be fooled into worshiping him. I like to think I would KNOW the difference.

Fortunately, the Bible has specified just how we can know it is the true Christ when he comes the second time.
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11
Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. Revelation 1:7
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:23
And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. Mark 13:21-23

Matthew 24:3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?".....For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:27-31

...the prophecies were given in terms of the current culture at that time,and therefore,while the stage has been set,the distortions are deplorable,for this Christ will not come at the end of your world as the prophecies have been maintaining.He will not come to reward the righteous and send evildoers to eternal doom.He will however,begin a new religious drama.A certain historical continuity will be maintained.As happened once before,however,He will not be generally known for who He is.There will be no glorious proclamation to which the whole world will bow.He will return to straighten out Christianity,which will be in shambles at the time of His arrival,and to set up new systems of thought when the world is sorely in need of one.

At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. -Matthew 24:30

The second coming of the christ won't be a person, i believe it will be a bunch of individuals...special. They are a complete unit of christ, like you know, parts of him scattered in everyone's soul...i dont know, but usually my guesses are right...i would say Christ is already here, just waiting for you to notice. They are people out there that are fake, then they are those who are real, you have to somehow figure out, who is who...hey think about it!! anyways today is my birthday, happy birthday to me! everyone say it! lol

Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Truth be told, many people will reason his second coming to death and say that it was just a meteor or something from space. But trust me, you will know when the most perfect being that has ever graced this planet has arrived. Just wait. =)

Nope! Not at all!
The Bible is very clear on this point. EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE (dang I wish there were italics so I could emphasize w/o screaming!) will know and recognize when he comes.
If there is any question, it is NOT Him. As the Bible says, if anyone says, Christ is in the desert, do not go, for it is not him...etc.

When you see a man riding a white horse coming out of the sky surrounded by an army of angels, that's the guy you're looking for.
