How each venue’s Yes has moved

AI overview· Updated 1h ago

The 2% Yes price reflects a near-universal secular consensus that a literal second coming within six months is implausible, but recent headlines are all cultural or entertainment events—not theological shifts—so the odds are essentially a static floor.

📊 Base rate: No historical base rate exists for a divine return; the closest reference class is 'unverified supernatural events in modern times,' which have never been confirmed, making the current odds consistent with that prior.

What's driving it

• The re-release of Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ' in theaters (OSV News, Jul 2; Rolling Stone, Jul 1) generates media buzz about Jesus but is a film event, not a prophecy update, so it does not move the odds.
• The return of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' to the stage (The Week, Jul 16) is a cultural revival, not a theological signal, and has no effect on the probability of an actual return.
• A news story about Salt Lake Temple doors (newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, Jun 23) is a local church artifact, unrelated to eschatology, and does not influence the market.

The case for YES

• If one accepts a literal interpretation of biblical prophecy (e.g., Matthew 24:36), the timing is unknown, so a return before 2027 is possible, however unlikely by secular standards.
• A sudden global religious revival or a widely reported miracle could shift public perception, but no such event is currently in the headlines.

The case for NO

• No credible, verifiable evidence of a divine return has ever been recorded in modern history, and the six-month window makes a sudden appearance extremely improbable.
• The overwhelming consensus among mainstream Christian theologians is that the date of the second coming is unknowable and not expected imminently, reinforcing the 98% No price.
• All recent headlines are about entertainment or church architecture, not about any actual prophetic fulfillment or religious leader claiming a return.

What to watch

• The theatrical re-release of 'The Passion of the Christ' and preview of 'The Resurrection of the Christ' (thecollision.org, Jul 7) could spark public discussion, but is unlikely to move the odds significantly in either direction.
• Any major religious leader (e.g., the Pope) making a statement about the imminence of the second coming would increase Yes probability, but no such statement is scheduled.
• A widely publicized, independently verified miracle or apparition could shift the market, but no such event is on the calendar.
