Would You Recognize Him?

[for clarification purposes, please mentally insert the term "Xian" in place of the word "Christian" in the following piece. This distinction is from Seidr of Rumor Mill News, and it basically says it all. The distinction is as clear as the difference between Xmas and Christmas. The following comment is directed to the Xian; the mass which has turned their back on the Christos, to glorify some "image".]
..........................................................................

If Jesus came again, how would the Christian (Xian) world recognize Him?
Would He walk into a televangelist's studio in Nashville
or North Hollywood and make a guest appearance?
Would He immediately start asking for tithes and donations?

What would he look like?
How would the tv audience know for sure that it
was Jesus come again?
What proof would He give that He is who He says He is?
Wonders and miracles? Like Simon of old, or a modern-day
magician?

What would He be wearing? Would He look like some
errant hippie promoting Peace and Love,
and Do Unto Others??

How would anyone recognize Him?

Would Jesus look like the Reader's Digest-type
modern-day Christian (Aryan-looking) buffed out beared guy?
Or, would He choose the more subtle Mediaeval renditions?
Or maybe the Renaissance? Or, God forbid,
would He look EXACTLY the way He looked when
He walked in Galilee?

Would He go back to His old neighborhood
in His native land? Or, because America is such a
Christian country, would we find Him opening a soup
kitchen in East St. Louis? Would He hobnob with the rich
and famous, or, spurning any wealth and fame,
disappear into, say, the homeless world to bring
comfort to the families living in cardboard boxes?

If He claimed that He was Jesus come again,
would the modern Christians stone him for advocating
reincarnation? Or, as in the game plan of "Project Blue Beam,"
would he descend out of the air -- in typical UFO fashion --
sort of what they have planned for Maitreya?
How would we get past the mechanics of this?

Would he speak in English, mimicking the modern
Christian bibles?
Would he "land" at the White House and listen patiently
for GWB to start talking in tongues?
Or, would He speak in his native tongue?
And the question then is, "Who does the subtitles and
translations?" Would He speak in Assyrian, as the original
Words were written? Could we trust these dark-skinned Semites
to translate His words properly? How do we know that they
are not terrorists, hell-bent on distorting everything.
Does anything good come out of Assyria? For that matter,
where the hell is Assyria anyway?!!

These are some the conundrums we have to face when
we idolize our heroes, and make them into our own image.
