A small community in northern Michigan believes it has been touched by an angel after a motion-sensor camera captured a mysterious object apparently looming over a parked vehicle. People online, however, remain unconvinced.

Please, that's so obviously Arthur.

    Well, OK then. There is this quote:

    According to historian Charles Freeman, early Christians expected Jesus to return within a generation of his death and the non-occurrence of the second coming surprised the early Christian communities.[5]

    Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

    — 1 John 2:18

    from the Wikipedia article about the Second Coming. So at least some of them thought he was on his way.

    Maybe they didn't look behind the sofa.

    Yes, that was my point: the disciples expected him to come back in their lifetimes, but there are numerous examples in the Bible where the disciples are rather thick. They kept asking him when he was going to kick out the Romans and start his earthly kingdom, and he kept going, "dude, I've told you a hundred times that's not my bag."

    for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
    1 Thessalonians 5:2

    Cf. the unexpected hanging paradox [wikipedia.org].
