● John 2:13-15 . . In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep
and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a
whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and
cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their
tables.
I'd like to know how Jesus got away with all that. Why didn't the merchants
fight back and/or report him to authorities and have him charged with
mischief and assault? There's something very strange about that incident.

Not just the second coming;
Matt 10:34-36 34 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.”
If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one (a sword). (Luke 22:36)

The first time Christ came, he came as the lamb depicted in the 53rd
chapter of Isaiah; the next time he'll come as the monarch depicted in
the 2nd Psalm.
Also, Jesus is depicted in the book of Revelation as a lamb opening seals
that result in the deaths and misery of people all over the world.
* I was schooled in Catholic catechism when I was a kid, and never once to
my recollection did the nuns ever mention Jesus' capacity for violence except
for that cleansing of the Temple incident; and I rather suspect that most folks
have a picture of Jesus in their heads given them by Hollywood movies, Xmas
cards, and sappy sermons; never suspecting he's on track to tread the winepress
of the wrath of God per Isa 63:1-6 and Rev 19:15.

Not sure if this is talking about Jesus second coming as he goes on to say;
Luke 19:28 - 28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Luke 22:36 - I also mentioned other passages like - If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. - this relates to Jesus present time - not a prophesy.
