If Christ returned to Earth, what would you expect Him to look like?

Question

Many talk about the second coming of Christ, but what would they expect Christ to look like, how would he arrive, and what would be the signs by which he may be recognised?

Would he wear a thorny crown and drag a wooden cross, in order for people to recognise him?

OR

Would he be an exceptional human being (whether man, or woman), of superior intelligence and wisdom, attempting to teach people with the view of enabling humanity to assimilate to the Spiritual Age, we recently entered?

All sensible replies will be appreciated.

Many thanks to all who offer their thoughts.

Answer 1

I pick the second option, the Christ will identify with all races and both genders. He will clearly state methods by which each individual can make contact with his own entity. The entity being man's mediator with All That Is. He will show mankind how to use the inner senses without which true spirituality is impossible.

Answer 2

Oh, please! Humanity in general has either become so self-involved and greedy, or is so entirely focused on just trying to survive, that if Jesus were to walk up and kick everybody in the @ss, nobody would be even be paying enough attention to what he looked like for long enough to fill out the police report for the inevitable lawsuit.

According to the bible, the Second Coming isn't about "attempting to teach people with the view of enabling humanity to assimilate to the Spiritual Age"; it's about Jesus coming back to witness the end of the current era (if not the end of everything) and to help mop up and help whatever dregs of humanity survive to assend into heaven.

Now here's the real mindf*ck: All the signs indicate that WE HAVE REACHED THE BEGINNING OF THE END. For those of you paying attention, it's happening right here, right now. So.....how do we know that Jesus isn't already here right now and nobody's paying attention?

Just a few things to think about....

Answer 3

It talks about this in the book of Revelations, it says he will be a KING from the Solomonic dynasty, he will wear a robe dipped in blood (aka a red robe), and it says many other things which points us in the direction of Emperor Haile Selassie I (the last king of Ethiopia) Click the source for a pic if you don't believe me, here's what Christ looks like:

Answer 4

I am not kidding when I say that he would be a homosexual black man living in the ghetto. His wisdom would shine through his outward appearance and mannerisms but only those who could appreciate that would see it. He would then try to preach the same message of unconditional love and non-specialness that he did when he first came. And then people would do the same thing: reject it, dismiss him, and change his message and put it into a holy book.

Answer 5

For me, i imagined Christ slowly coming down from heaven... wearing pure white... shadowed with a very bright light. I could even smell the wind, nothing smells like that before ... it was wonderful. He, then, would spread His arms and grant us all peace.

God bless...

Answer 6

First let’s set a solid foundation upon which we can build. In doing so let us reason together. When Christ was resurrected and had returned unto the father he came and dwelt with his apostles for forty days. After which time “he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel; 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.” (Acts 1:9-11) This testimony given to the apostles from the two angels was a testimony to them of how Christ would return in the second coming.
Now in 1 John 3:2 it reads, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” In John’s writing we learn, that when Christ does come again we will know who he is, because we will look LIKE him. Now keeping in mind that it reads, “we shall be LIKE him”, let us see what Genesis has to say. In Genesis 1:26 it reads, “And God said, Let us make man, in our image, after our LIKENESS…” This teaches that men and woman alike were created in the LIKENESS of God. Which means ear for ear, nose for nose, limb for limb, etc., it clear that we were created after the fashion of God. Now this answers how we will know him, now let us come to understand what exactly is meant by his “coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matthew 24:30)
In understanding this scripture let us look at the account of the Mount of Transfiguration [Matthew 17]. In short Peter, James and John were chosen to go up unto a mount with the Christ. Upon this mount Christ “was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.” (Matthew 17:2) The Hebrew word for “transfiguration” is “metamorphoo, (met-am-or-fo'-o)” which means, “to change”. In other’s words Christ’s appearance at that instance was changed from a lower state to a higher. Notice the relation that the record makes of Christ’s appearance signifying that it “did shin AS THE SUN, and his raiment WAS WHITE AS THE LIGHT.” These two phrases are what we call a Simile. A simile compares two things that are essentially different, yet are alike using the words “like” or “as.” In this case the sun is used to compare, the countenance of Christ’s. Now knowing the brightness the sun illuminates we can grasp a sense of what is meant by Christ’s “coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matthew 24:30)
There are many signs that are to prelude Christ’s coming. Here are some helpful references that may help you to understand the signs of the times. (Matthew 24; Revelation 8-9) Those are just a couple of references, however the Bible is filled with many. Lastly, Christ will still be a male, will still have his same superior intellect, and same power and glory. For we read, “Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and to day, and FOREVER.” (Hebrew 13:8) I hope this answers you question.

Answer 7

Luke 21:27
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Answer 8

man that is a tuff question to answer, maybe he would return as a bartender it would be easier to talk to him over a few drinks?

Answer 9

No body really truely knows what Jesus looks like. I guarantee it would not be how all the pictures make him out to look like.

Answer 10

There is a detailed description in Revelation of how Jesus will return and what His visage will look like:

Rev 1:12-16

12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"[b]dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

Rev 19:11-16

11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
