When Jesus returns to Earth again, how will he have the patience for what people have become?

might he be more short fused next time around? Could he abandon his love for us, the lazy narcissists that humans are today?
Human is basically still human, even when it's the spirit of God within.

No where in scripture does it imply that the man Jesus would return in a physical body. He sacrificed his flesh and blood once and for all time. When you sacrifice something you don't take it back. Jesus returned in another body 3 days after his death. The Bible does say that he would fight a war in heaven with Satan and his angels and cast them down to earth, then eventually return his attention to earth, culminating in his setting up Jehovah's kingdom, replacing all of the kingdoms of men.

So, by then his patience is done.

However, hypothetically, if he was meant to return his patience wouldn't be the issue. The religious would destroy him as they did after waiting thousands of years for him the fist time.

I suggest you read the entire chapter of Zechariah 14 to get more context..

(Zechariah 14:1-4) "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. {2} For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. {3} Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. {4} ¶ And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."

Note also Jesus did not leave the earth as a spirit.. He left in His resurected physical body and as the angel told the Apostles He would return in like manor..

(Acts 1:9-11) "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. {10} And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; {11} Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
