Words of Wisdom from the Babylon Bee – How would Christians react if the eschatology of our great theologians was wrong and instead of the rapture, Jesus showed back up on earth proclaiming the Gospel, performing miracles, and claiming to be God incarnate?

Would we follow Him or crucify Him as a false teacher?

How confident are we that the Holy Spirit would “counsel” us to accept Him … or would our sin nature want to test Him or reject Him entirely? Would we find fault with His disciples as hypocritical sinners and use that against Him? Would we call Him an alien from another planet as justification for His apparent omniscience? Would we fall in line with the majority of mankind who consider Christianity false or irrelevant, not wanting to stand out and unsure if He was real? Would we use the Bible as a basis for believing we have such a clear picture of the rapture that He must be the anti-Christ rather than the Christ who has come to save the remaining remnant? Would He be arrested for causing riots due to His “hate speech” on human immorality? Certainly those Christians who see Jesus only through the lens of “love thy neighbor” would never accept the Jesus who calls out sin and demands acceptance as the God of final judgment …

John 8:16 - Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me.

Would He even get a chance to stand trial as the returned Messiah, or would He be shot from a rooftop by a radicalized legalistic Christian while preaching to a crowd of seekers?
