    A hypothetical scenario and question for Midcan5:

    God comes to earth in person.

    A multitude of people are drawn to rally around Him because they believe He really is Who He says He is. But also, as would be certainly be the case, a multitude of people oppose and vilify him because they don't believe a damn bit of it and consider him a fraud, or maybe he is in their way somehow, or might be simply because that's how people roll.

    The first bunch, His Believers, exalt Him as God. The second bunch, the disbelievers, vilify him as satan.

    Only one question to you, Midcan5 (and anyone else): Exactly why would this not happen?

    Is God's hair orange?

    It would certainly happen because it already has. God sent his only begotten Son to earth for our salvation and he was executed for his troubles. There are those who would not believe in his divinity and even if true would jeopardize their authority and power. Then there are those who believe that God, in the form of Christ Jesus will return to the earth and would know and understand the truth. One could write an entire doctoral dissertation on the whys and not fully cover the topic.

    Because not everyone believes there is a satan.

    Riddle:
    A man and his son are hurt in a car wreck. They re taken to different hospitals miles apart. The son is rolled into emergency surgery. The surgeon looks at him and says I cannot operate on him, I am his father.

    Explain.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    See netflix "Messiah" for exactly that storyline:

    What are the circumstances under which would be a Second Coming, and why, if those conditions were known, wouldn't they be subverted, I wonder?

    Nothing. They wouldn't recognize them.
