What second coming? Do you mean the one Jesus said woud happen within the lifetime of his 1st century followers?
they wont be worried...
they know he aint a commin'

No worries. The historical Jesus didn't prob even say those words to begin with. And if he did, it was because he was delusional.
But the framers of the Christian cult played it very well to entrap those who needed another life instead of this one to be complete. Of course the 2nd coming will never happen, so the GB will not have to worry. They likely know it anyway, since they are just running a business [like all religion].

I used to have a second coming in my younger days, not now I'm afraid.........
They'll say it was invisible and only THEY could see it. Haven't you ever heard of "The Emperor's New Clothes"?

Best line on this board in a long, long, time....
"Damn..we were so close to finishing the private pools.... how much did we eventually make?!"
P.s. The earliest text talking about Jesus was written 30 years after his death. Be realistic.... if that happened today... with all our technology, how much would you believe? Nevermind 30 years of chinese whispers. By the way 30 years was Luke (or Mark), the others are around 70 years after Jesus.
They will likely get caught, shall we say, red handed.
The Pope gathers together the College of Cardinals in Rome for an emergency meeting. He gravely stands up and says:
"My brothers in Christ, I have gathered you today before me to announce something I never anticipated saying to you in my lifetime."
"Don't resign, your Holiness!"
"No, I have not come to resign. I have come to tell you that I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that I got a call from Jesus last night and he has returned to Earth."
"Praise God! What is the bad news?"
"He was calling collect from Salt Lake City."
