When Jesus walked the earth as the "Son of God", the Roman-occupied world had reached a pinnacle of social, intellectual and technological sophistication, never previously achieved in human history. And yet millions of people worldwide put their faith in a prophet that they blindly believed could be the Messiah. Similarly, when Mohamed came to the Arabian Peninsula, he gained a vast following of people believing his scriptures, teachings and messages to be the divine Word of God. The ensuing global movements, that formed in their wakes, attracting billions of followers, sparked both environments of peace, love and community as well as religious violence and cultural derision. What would happen if a similar figure walked the earth in the present day - at this time of such great social, scientific and enlightened awareness and advancement? Would people believe? Like the revolutionary movements of the past, could a new following emerge and galvanize the spiritual and religious landscape of our culture and society? Would we put a new, modern divine prophet on a pedestal? Or on a cross? Would a Second Coming triumphantly unite our world or violently tear it apart?
