    The Jesus of the Bible also believed the Kingdom of God would be a literal Kingdom that would arise within the lifetimes of his followers.

    That is what happens when you actually read the Bible literally, instead of metaphorically.

    Also, I forget which Gospel it is, but one of them features a zombie apocalypse of the dead rising out of their graves when Jesus dies on the cross.

    Also, more to your original theme: Jesus was fucking homeless for his adult ministry.

    He and his followers just stayed at random people’s places who were sympathetic to his movement.

    He did not have a steady job, he was not a productive member of society and he certainly did not have a nuclear family.

    If Jesus was here today, he’d be shunned, starved, imprisoned, likely become a drug addict and die on the streets, and this would be by design and with approval of many of his most outspoken followers today
