I searched in Net something related to Jesus is coming. Is it a proverb? What is the usage? Is this Boss is Lord Jesus?

Yes, of course it is Jesus Christ. He was Jewish and worked as a carpenter during his life. I have never seen the word "rich" used in this bumper sticker, but it may be referring to riches in Heaven.

Sounds like a negative statement about the stereotype of Jewish being rich, then attaching it to Jewish Carpenter, referring to Jesus.

Yes, it's a joke about Jesus, who was a Jew and was brought up by Josef, a carpenter. Some people say that Jesus actually worked as a carpenter in his younger years.
I hope you understand it is a joke, just like the whole story about Jesus and the whole Bible is a fairy tale.

The "Jewish Carpenter" would mean Jesus. The word "Rich" would seem to be out of place.

Jesus was a jew and a carpenter. Thats all it means. It sounds better than "Jesus is my boss"

He's saying that his boss is Jesus. Jesus was a carpenter, and he is rich in glory and kindness.
It was either praising or an indirect insult to God.

I've never seen that one.
I had license plate frame once which read, "My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter"

I've seen that, though not with the 'rich' part. The original is saying, "Jesus is my boss," or at least, that is how it sounds to me. Like they live their lives the way Jesus tells them.
The rich part... are you sure about that? That's funny, it must be some kind of parody of the religious one, though I'm not sure it is implying anything specific.

Yes, Jesus was a Jewish carpenter.
Not sure what the rich part of it was though. That isn't usually part of it.
