One knows that he can only be false in his claim.
I am sorry to inform you that Jesus passed away, of violent death some time ago. He cannot and will not come back. He is dead you see ?
So anyone claiming to be him would be making a false claim.

"Jesus answered: 'Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming "I am the Christ," and will deceive many...At that time if anyone says to you, "Look, here is the Christ!" or "There he is!" do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles...So if anyone tells you "There he is, out in the desert," do not go out; or "Here he is, in the inner rooms," do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man...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. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." - Matthew 24:4-5, 23-24, 26-27, 30-31
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air..."
- 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Recognize an/the antichrist:
"Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such as man is the antichrist - he denies the Father and the Son." - 1 John 2:22
The only surefire way to know is to know Jesus. You do this by entering into a personal relationship with Him through prayer and reading of the Bible, God's word.

From Mark 13:21-23;
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
And in Acts 1:9-11;
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
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.
In Matthew 24:29-31;
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
I think that is enough for right now.
You probably will not check them out.

Matthew 22:5Â for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.
After Jesus’ death, the Jews followed many false Messiahs, as Jesus had foretold. (Mt 24:5) “From Josephus it appears that in the first century before the destruction of the Temple [in 70Â C.E.] a number of Messiahs arose promising relief from the Roman yoke, and finding ready followers.” (The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. X, p. 251) Then, in 132Â C.E., Bar Kokhba (Bar Koziba), one of the most prominent of the pseudomessiahs, was hailed as Messiah-king. In crushing the revolt that he led, Roman soldiers killed thousands of Jews. While such false Messiahs illustrate that many Jews were primarily interested in a political Messiah, they also show that they properly expected a personal Messiah, not just a Messianic era or Messianic nation. Some believe Bar Kokhba was a descendant of David, which would have aided his Messianic claim. However, since the genealogical records evidently were destroyed in 70Â C.E., later claimants to the office of Messiah could not establish proof that they were of David’s family. (The Messiah therefore had to appear before 70Â C.E., as Jesus did, in order to prove his claim as the heir of David. ) Among such later false claimants to messiahship were Moses of Crete, who asserted he would divide the sea between Crete and Palestine, and Serenus, who misled many Jews in Spain. The Jewish Encyclopedia lists 28 false Messiahs between the years 132Â C.E. and 1744Â C.E.—Vol. X, pp. 252-255.

Our hearts will know! If this person claims to be Jesus, just ask this person, who is your savior, who is your God, what do you think about Jesus, what do you feel about Jesus and in closing do you love Jesus. If it is Satan, he will not answer any of those questions pertaining Jesus. So really only the hearts will know

Without getting into it....
Christ...it is written...is to appear with essentially the fanfare and flourish that would rival any King or Queen...
His arrival is not going to be happening quietly...and, as a previous poster said...
If we're all still in our Mortal Coil, then it isn't Jesus...
Just my opinion

Jesus warned his disciples:
"Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. (Matthew 24: 4-5, NIV)
Read the rest of the chapter, and you'll get some more insight!

You would be instantly blinded, just as Saul was. The Bible says that Christ exist in unapproachable light, since his ascension to heaven. So, if you are instantly blinded, than it might be him.
