If Jesus returns, where will he stay?

The thread about the temple expenses got me thinking about the biblical Jesus. I don't believe he was divine, so I don't believe there will be second coming. However, for those who do believe he will return, do we need to provide him an expensive temple featuring gold, silver and all manner of expensive materials. Charity said we should not house him in a Motel 6, but this is contrary to the Jesus of the Bible. It seems if he does come again he would be more comfortable hanging out with the sinners in the bars than with the well-groomed leaders in the great and spacious buildings. I just can't picture Jesus in a business suit sitting in a leather chair behind an oak desk. Since when did Donald Trump become the model for Jesus?

If Jesus truly is God, then why would He need a place to stay anyway?

He'll get the "Emporer's Package" for a year.

I would think that if Jesus returned he would most likely go to where there is great suffering and live along those in squalid conditions. I don't see America as his destination.

He actually spent a lot of time in the Temple. He saw sinners but they either repented or booted him out very quickly. He was very judgmental. Always telling people they would go to hell and such.

He can stay at my house. With my son off to college, God can bunk up in his old room.

How about a shanty town in Mexico?

I've often wondered about that. If
I were to act the way Jesus did, would I be considered sinless? I think the only reason he is sinless is because he held the power to forgive. So he could forgive himself all the time for his outbursts.
Kind of like how kings never break the law. They just alter the law to what they want to do.
