I would say to this that if someone did get control over human society in this way, like Christ did for us, he would put only himself through the purgatory of hell and bring all the suffering of the world upon his own shoulders. This is what it means when they say "Christ died for our sins".... he removes the misunderstanding people have by showing them how the world should truly work, and then takes whatever punishment, whther due or undue, upon his own mind, soul and body. It's not a fair trade, but that is why we would call him a Christ.... an annointed one. Once he had paved the way to the removal of all misunderstanding, then everyone else would be free to walk it.
Of course, the second coming should be able to take advantage of modern mass media in order to get his thoughts and intentions across. He could be here right now... we just don't know. I think he is.... and I think he must be short of money to get his campaign up and running, because I know he would never do anything for money.
