Reminds me of hearing rabbi Daniel Lapin hosting a radio show and a caller started to make a reference to the “second coming” and stopped herself. She apologized profusely and rabbi Lapin very gently told the lady it was OK and not to worry. He said “all we disagree about is the number”... ha ha ha. That has stuck with me for over 20 years now.

It’s a play on the old joke.

The Mosiach arrives in Israel and goes to meet the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister greets him and asks “so, is this your first visit to our country? . . .”

Funny story...but even the term “second coming” reflects confusion (at least in my opinion). If you believe in the Christian Bible (and, to be transparent, I do not), then Jesus came (that’s one); then he died and came back (that’s two), and he is going to come again (that would be number three). So, yes, there’s a lot of disagreement about the number...as well as who he will be, and when he will come.
