Bible Answer:
Seems illogical doesn't it! But on the contrary, it will be very logical, to those who are here to receive him!
Let's see what Jesus has to say.
Luke 17:26,27 KJV (Jesus)
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Genesis 6:5 KJV (Noah's day.)
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Luke 17:28-30 KJV (Jesus)
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Genesis 19:4,5 NLT (Sodomites)
4 But before they retired for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house.
5 They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!”
OK, Jesus tells us that ...
Luke 17:26 KJV
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
If this is so, and who doesn't know it to be true today? Then we must but take a moment to ask ourselves what kind of Messiah, would this world be longing for?
WOULD IT BE THIS MESSIAH, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD?
Psalm 9:7,8 KJV
7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: He hath prepared His throne for judgment.
8 And He shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
Matthew 4:17 KJV
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Acts 17:30,31 KJV
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead. (Judgment by Jesus Christ.)
I Corinthians 15:25 KJV
For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet.
Hebrews 12:14 KJV
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Revelation 5:11-14 NLT
11 Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders.
12 And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
14 And the four living beings said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped the Lamb.
Revelation 19:16 KJV
And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
OR WOULD OUR WORLD APPRECIATE A MESSIAH LIKE THE FOLLOWING:
A Man of Sin:
II Thessalonians 2:3 KJV
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Wicked One:
II Thessalonians 2:8 KJV
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:
Antichrist:
I John 2:18,22 KJV
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Beast:
Revelation 13:4 KJV
"... they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
THE WAYS OF THIS MESSIAH ARE:
Lawless:
II Thessalonians 2:3-12 NLT
3 Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed—the one who brings destruction.
4 He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
5 Don’t you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you?
6 And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes.
7 For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the One who is holding it back steps out of the way.
8 Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of His mouth and destroy him by the splendor of His coming.
9 This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.
10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the Truth that would save them.
11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.
12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the Truth.
Opposes Christ, the Son of God:
II Thessalonians 2:4 NLT
He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
Deceiver:
II Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
II Thessalonians 2:9 NLT
This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.
II John 7
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Revelation 19:20 NLT
And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Christian Tormentor:
Revelation 13:7 KJV
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Demon Possessed:
Revelation 16:13 NLT
And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.
Defaming and denying the incarnation of Jesus Christ:
I John 4:2,3 KJV
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
II John 7 KJV
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.
This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Demands the Worship of all Mankind:
II Thessalonians 2:4 KJV
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
“...I don't see how if this coming world leader, no matter where he comes from, if he is absolutely evil, who would want him. Who would trust him, miracles or not?”
Who would want him?
Why an evil world without Christ, that's who!
Revelation 6:13-17 KJV
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
