Won't he look like any other Arab guy physically (dark hair, eyes and tanned skin)? Since he's Hebrew and Middle Eastern?
If Jesus were to come down, speaking in an ancient Hebrew/Aramaic accent, and dressed in a robe with a veil on his head much like in those times, would Christians think of him as a Son of God?
Wouldn't racial profiling at US airports (or other European countries) prevent Jesus from reaching his followers there?
Since he can pass off easily as an ' Arab terrorist' dressing and looking the way he does/did?

Weren't the KKK idiots in implementing Christianity into their White Supremacist beliefs since the Son of God was brown and not white?

Since he is going to descend from clouds, it is also possible that he is descending from the clouds in a plane, right?

"I 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. His 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. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. "

Yes he would likely look like you mention. Since the text says he will descend from the clouds I doubt he will go through airport security. And to your final question: When have the KKK been anything but idiots?

Good Day.

Edit: Well, I have no problem accepting the possibility of metaphor. What makes me think that it isn't a metaphor is this verse here in Acts 1:11:

They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

Granted maybe a helicopter landed in Jerusalem--the text doesn't say (not making fun of your response just saying that it would have to be in the same way for this text to be perceived as truthful).

who cares what the kkk were implementing... there is no need to guess at the description of what Jesus looks like. John describes Him in the opening of the revelation. eyes of fire, hair of whool, skin of brass... He'll look like someone who has been exposed to the full glory of God... moses only saw His hand and read what it did to him.

the God over all nature and the laws He placed therein will not need an airplane. He ascended from the mount of olives in a cloud, and the angels standing around with the apostles looking on told them this same Jesus will return in like manner.

He would look like a "thief in the night". In other words, he would blend in to society. He would look like your neighbor, or like your priest, or doctor. He would not appear as he did 2,000 years ago, as this would not be a "thief".

I don't think he would look like an Arab, as the Arabs offend the very idea of Jesus with Islam. I believe that Islam is an offense to all Christianity, and that this religion would be in opposition in "the battle of that great day". Anyway, this is when Jesus is supposed to appear, at the end of the world. Don't look to the clouds for his return, this is also not a "theif". There is much symbolism in Revelation.

The Bible does not indicate that there will be a literal, bodily return of Christ to earth. Rather, it shows that he returns in the sense of turning his attention to the earth and to accomplish certain definite purposes respecting mankind. Christ’s descending, as mentioned at 1 Thessalonians 4:16, is in the same sense as the Scriptures speak of God’s descending to earth. For instance, the Bible says of God: “He proceeded to bend the heavens down and to descend; and thick gloom was beneath his feet.” (2 Samuel 22:10) “Look! Jehovah is going forth from his place, and he will certainly come down and tread upon earth’s high places.” (Micah 1:3) What is meant by these words? Not that God will leave his place in heaven, but that he will turn his attention to affairs on earth.

"There was someone like the Son of Man among the lamp stands. He was wearing a robe that reached his feet. He wore a gold belt around his waist.His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters." Rev. 1:13-15

"His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them." Mark 9:3

This is why I'm always amused at the question "What Would Jesus Do?" As far as I'm concerned, the answer in almost any situation is "Wander around trying to find someone who speaks Aramaic."

Let me say to all white supremacist.......Solomon was back...BLACK....BBLLACK.
And his father was king David, and Jesus Christ is from the line of king David..... so do the math, Jesus Christ is at least partially black.
But specifically, the answer to your question in found in Isaiah 52 :14 - 53 : 4
Its says that he is ugly and disfigured so much so, that people hid their faces from him, Read those passages, they explain his apperance.

I belive that Jesus would look the exact same as when he left. Everyone who enters Heaven looks the same, they never grow old because, why would Jesus or even God for that matter, want anyone to get old and die in his Holy territory?

He would look like a 33 year old man, with curly short hair which is going grey, and a lovely kindly face and beautiful eyes that can see into your soul.

Ask me how I know, I am not telling.
