I was raised in the Mormon church, and still consider much of my identity deeply rooted in what is my native wisdom tradition, so I know that what I'm about to say is divisive. But I need to say it. I could never say this at church, so I'm hoping I can say it here.

What if Christians miss the second coming because they think they know what they are looking for, and the truth is different from what they expect?

If Christians are honest with themselves, they have to admit this is a very real possibility, highlighted repeated by the Bible itself. The Jews didn't recognize salvation in Jesus because the miracle worker from Galilee who preached to love your enemy wasn't the political champion they anticipated. Those who sought to better worship God by etching him into stone accomplished the opposite of their intended efforts and instead estranged themselves from the true and living God by becoming idolaters.

When we freeze our understanding of God to a particular image of our limited understanding, we become idolaters and estrange ourselves from the true and living God.

Jesus embodied truth and love.

What if Christ's Second Coming refers to a time when once again truth and love are embodied on Earth, but not in a form that any Christian anticipates? The Old Testament repeatedly pointed to Jesus as the salvation that would walk among men, yet the experts and keepers of that tradition completely missed it.

What if Bitcoin fulfills the prophecy of truth and love embodied once again on Earth, walking among men, and bringing them salvation?

The prophecy goes that Christ will return and reign over the Earth in peace and prosperity for a thousand years, subduing all power that the devil once had. The prophecy goes that eventually every knee will bow, and tongue confess - which implies that many people will at first not recognize the Christ, even though he is staring them in the face.

How could people not recognize Christ?

What if instead of Christ returning as a being of light, truth, and love he actually returns as a network of energy, truth, and love?

Christ said that until we are one, we cannot be his. What better way to unite as one than to all speak the same incorruptible language? What better way to cooperate as one than to grant immutable property rights to every soul on earth that no tyrant can exploit?

As Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. You just have to learn to recognize it.

Are you saying Bitcoin might be the 2nd coming of JC in disguise?
