WHAT IF JESUS REALLY RETURNED?

How really The Christian World would respond, if Jesus really returned?

(I had seen an SNL cartoon many years ago in which The Christian Televangelists were trying to prevent The Returned Jesus from speaking to their audience! :-)

I think a huge lesson from the stories of the major prophets is that existing (religious/government) leaders/authorities are pretty much always overwhelmingly/strongly against The Prophets & try everything they can to stop/discredit/destroy them (& almost all the public always choose the side of their leaders/authorities)!
(& that is also true in the world of science! For example, consider the overwhelming resistance against revolutionary ideas of Galileo & Einstein!)
For example, consider how Moses performed many miracles & almost all The Egyptians still chose the side of The Pharaoh (who was claiming to be a god but was able to perform no miracle at all)!
Or, consider how Jesus performed many miracles & almost all The Jews still chose the side of their (religious/government) leaders/authorities (who were (basically) claiming that "Jesus is 'The Antichrist'")!

(It seems that (according to history) about a century after refusing/rejecting Jesus as their savior sent by God, The Jews fully accepted/embraced a man named "Bar Kokhba" as their true savior sent by God, but it did not ended well for them! & afterwards, it seems they gave-up on the idea of waiting for a savior from God!)

Islam also tells a similar story that the (religious/government) leaders/authorities of the city were overwhelmingly/strongly against The Prophet & tried everything they can to stop/discredit/destroy him (& almost all the public chose the side of their leaders/authorities)!
(I think the leaders/authorities were claiming The Prophet (who was performing many miracles) is a powerful magician (& wants to be their king)!
But, if that was really true, then why he did not use his "magical power" to make himself super rich and/or defeat/destroy all the resistance/opposition against him?)

So, I think if Jesus really returned someday:

If it really happened according to the expectations of The Christian World, there would be still huge problems, as there are many denominations/branches of Christianity w/ significant differences!
Because I do not think the leaders/authorities of the wrong denominations/branches (& neither most of their believers/followers) would really/actually easily accept they were (very) wrong!

But, if it really happened according to the expectations of The Islamic World, then, I think response of The Christian World would be very similar to how The Jewish World responded to arrival/appearance of Jesus:
Almost all The Christians would choose the side of their church leaders/authorities (who would be (basically) claiming that "
The Returned Jesus is 'The Antichrist'")!

(According to Islam, The Real Antichrist will also come someday & claim to be The God!
My guess is that he will also claim that Judaism & Christianity are correct & Islam is wrong & then, pretty much all Jews & Christians will happily/gladly take his side!)

(By the way, why Jesus will come back after such a long time?
Isn't it really/actually very unusual for any prophet to come back?
(& an event like Noah's Flood isn't also really/actually very unusual for any prophet?)
According to Islam, each & every prophet is granted a special/personal/single wish/prayer by God (which can be almost anything)!
& Jesus (after keep getting frustrated because of The Jews for a long time) saw that God is saying really great things about The Last Prophet & his followers/believers (Muslims) in The (Real/Original) Bible!
& prayed for becoming one of them (Muslims)!
& so, he will come back & become a (Sunni(te)) Muslim & battle & kill The Real Antichrist (who is NOT himself (unlike what claimed by The Jews)) & even later get married & have children & live a long life to old age!
(& Noah's Flood happened because of him traveling the whole world for centuries & keep getting frustrated because of almost everybody refusing/rejecting his religion (& even keep making fun of him) & eventually he praying to God for not leaving any non-believers on Earth!))
