Just a couple of thoughts about what has been written in this thread.
Very few people at the time of Christ recognized the first coming of Jesus. That generation were looking for something entirely different than the true nature of the incarnate Christ.
I would suggest that the Second Coming will be the same. I doubt that the nature of that event will be what most people expect. Whatever happens---happens. My guess is that it will be some catastrophic event that will end all of this.
It seems to me it’s off topic but there was also some discussion on the issue of salvation. CS Lewis writes this in The Great Divorce”.
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ”Thy will be done’, and those to whom God says in the end, ”Thy will be done’. All that are in Hell choose it. Without the self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.”

Everybody is entitled to my opinion.
