Prophecies of The Ages                 www.christreturn.net
 
 

 

At last Prophecies unsealed! 

Did Jesus really promised us "Another Comforter" as well?

 This web is a love letter to all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ and do not reject His promises.

Forget what ever your priest preached if is in contradiction with Bible.

Ministr4.gif (7930 bytes) ....Unto them that look for Him shall he appear the second time.......... (Heb. 9:28)

We learn that Only people who look ( Seek) for Him may find Him. But if you be scared and think what you find so far is enough and do not seek any more, you shall not find His appearance for second time.

Jews were proud that they are the chosen one and did not look for Him, now after 2000 years still did not find Him. ( They just followed advice of their Clergymen like today Christians.)

That when He cometh and knocketh, they may open unto Him immediately ( Luke 12:36).

Unfortunately when He came and knocketh Christians were fast sleep and did not trust to open door of their hearts. They just followed priest of their churches and their politicians.

Promise of another Comforter by Jesus !

If ye love Me, keep My commandment, and I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may be with you for ever ...' John 14:15 - 16  !

Please note very carefully another comforter means another comforter with Holy spirit "like Jesus" but not Jesus.

"For If I ( Jesus) go not away , the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you ...  

Jesus mention that He shall not be with us for ever and the next Comforter shall be with us forever.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but you can not bear them now. However when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears..." John 16: 7 - 13

 

Have you ever think who could be this Spirit of truth or The comforter that comes and only after Jesus leaves?   He will guide us into all the truth! The truth that was not the right time for Jesus to mention it. Mental capacity of people living 2000 years ago  was equal to today 10 to 12 years old today's child.

But when the comforter comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of me...John 15:26 

Jesus clearly states that God shall send us another Comforter over and above the Holy Spirit like Jesus Christ. He will teach man what people did not have capacity to understand at that time.  If you have any doubt about any of these quotations, Please refer to your Bible.)
As we shall see The Holy Spirit shall be called by a new name.   

" I will Write upon Him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear..." Revelation 3:12-13

He that hath an ear, let him hear..." To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna And I...will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receive it. Rev 2:17 ( "New name" Not any of the old names that people know.)

"He that hath an ear, let him hear.." both references emphasize that to receive  the new name, one must struggle to overcome the prejudice we feel towards any new and strange sounding name.        

  Please print these articles for future references.

We must try not to make the same mistake that the Jews made at the time of Christ by expecting the prophecies to happen in a physical and literal manner.

Considering Bible Prophecies literally in many cases contradicts the Bible itself, Science and Common sense. While by accepting part of the Bible in spirit and symbolically it become quite understandable.

For example " I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17-20

If we accept this verse literally, since there is nobody who is able to move a mountain or even a cup of tea by saying word "move" we have to accept that there has not been any believer in Christ yet! Just considering it symbolically is understandable.

I am the bread of the life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst," John 6:35

This literally means believers do not need food and water and symbolically is quite understandable. Also not a single sign of His first coming was fulfilled literally.

None of the old testaments prophecies fulfilled literally at the time.

            Meaning of return   Contradiction or "in spirit"

Jews expected Elijah ( Elias) a prophet of Old testament who went to heaven in a chariot of fire several centuries before to return before Christ.

 

 John the Baptist was asked by Pharisees: "Are you Elias?" He answered, "No, I am not," !!!!     John 1:21

John the Baptist was born from different parents at different time at a different place. How could he be Elias ( Elijah)? 

But I (Jesus) say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him."

In chapter 17, verse 13, of Matthew, it is said: "Then the disciples understood that He spoke unto them of John the Baptist."

 

lessons.gif (7787 bytes)

The explanation is in Luke 1-17 "He ( John the Baptist ) will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah,.

This means John the Baptist was not Elijah in body but in spirit and power. In the same way we should understand the return of The Son and The Father in spirit and power.     

Jesus explains: See that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying: I am the Christ, and mislead many.   Matt 24 - 4

This verses refers to those who come "in His name" ( not other names ) and mislead the people. The Comforter and Spirit of the Truth Shall use different name than Jesus.

"Then if any one says to you:' behold here is the Christ or there is the Christ,' do not believe him". Matt 24 verse 23

Now is up to you to guess who every Sundays preach in His name and say here or there is Jesus.  Only Christian priests talk in the name of Jesus and say here and there is Jesus and are misleading people.

(1 Cor 12-28 )"And God appointed these within the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers,..".

 The word "prophet" in the New Testament refers to a rank within the church !Therefore false prophet means false priests.

He warns us that at that time, we should not follow those (priests) who unknowingly every Sunday say 'here' or 'there' is Christ. Since the burden of the world will be on the "another Comforter" or "Spirit of Truth's" or  "Glory of God's" shoulders that has a new name because the Lord Promised so.                                

In Matthew 24: 36 to 45, the coming of the Son of Man is compared with "the coming of a thief in the night " when the landlord is asleep. This means that :

1- Majority of People do not want Him as no land lord wants a thief. They want same Jesus to carry on what ever they are doing, to forgive their sins, and take them directly to heaven as before.

2- People will not notice His second coming because they are in state similar to sleep . 

The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come. Revelation 9:12

Time of the End

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all  nations; and then the end will come."

Time of the end is the time that after 2000 years New testament expired and God send a newer Testament. Otherwise the world of creation never end as far as God is the creator. This happened in the middle of the nineteenth century when the Bible spread all over the world.

Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and the end of the world? Matt 24 - 3 

Christ replies in Matt 24 -15, and in Mark 13-14 referring to Daniel's prophecies on the duration of the destruction. In both Old and New Testament the conclusion can be only reached that it was the year exactly 1844 AD.( Please see "Time Prophecies" at the side for more detail later and not now.)

Although some people discovered this date (e.g.  Adventist 1844, and the German Carmelites who even travelled to the Holy Land and settled near mount Carmel about the same date), they did not recognize Him.

He was not supposed to come in the old physical body or the old name of Jesus but in the power and spirit of Him ( They were also sleep when the thief came at night ). 

" For just as lightning comes from the east, and shineth unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be". In Matt 24 - 27  

Jesus explains that the Son of the Man will come from the east of Israel and His Word will shine towards the west. "Lightning" means it is illuminating and sudden.

 Then I shall set My throne in Elam, and I shall destroy out of it kings and princes, declared the Lord. But it will come about in the last days, that I shall restore the fortune of Elam, declares the Lord." Jeremiah 49 - 38, 39

When God says I shall set my throne in Elam, It is the throne of His revelation not the physical throne that the Jews were expecting Christ to possess.

The last days means the expiry date of  the Christian dispensation. ( Same as the expiry date of medicine or when a newer version of a software is released.) As expiry date of Jewish dispensation was when Christ appeared not end of the world.

Bible John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life..."

Simply means every time He come the end and resurrection of the world does happen. It happen in the past and it happens again in the future. In this date God judges nations with the way they treat His representative

( Spiritual reward and punishment for individuals happens shortly after physical death not thousands years later.)

" And I saw in a Vision.....in the province of Elam" ( Daniel 8:2 ) 

At the end of many Bibles there are maps with ancient names of Biblical cities and countries. There we find Elam is located to the east of Jerusalem, the region now called Persia.

This is the country that king Cyrus came from. He saved Israel from captivity and ordered the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The shrine of Daniel is in Shoosh, the ancient capital of Elam.

" He shall come from Assyria" Micah 7:12

He came to the Holy land as a prisoner through Syria from Persia.

The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come. Revelation 11:14

Let's discover this new name.

The one that Jesus respect so much that states "I will no longer talk much with you for the Ruler of this world is coming." John 14:30

"And behold the Glory of the Lord stood there as the Glory which I saw by the river of Chebar and I fell on my face".( Ezekiel 3:23)

Ezekiel saw this vision in Babylon at the river of Chebar near Baghdad ( between Persia and Holy land ).

"And behold, the Glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east...." Ezekiel 43:2

For the Son of Man is going to come in the Glory of His Father with His angels; and He shall reward every man according to his works." Matt 16 - 27

The equivalent of "Glory of His Father "or "Glory of God" in Arabic is "Baha'u'llah". "Baha" means glory and light, "Allah" simply means God.

The Bab symbolically is the coming of the Son of Man and Baha'u'llah is the coming of the Father.( As John the Baptist was return of Elijah.)

"The Glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the Gate facing towards the east." Ezekiel 43-4 

Bab", is an Arabic word meaning "Gate". In 1844 in Shiraz (near Shoosh) in Elam, a young man took this title and declared his mission as the forerunner of One greater than Himself.

(And there is much more prophecies on the side link Mica and Isaiah prophecies.)

He was 25 years old at that time and after a few years He and 20,000 of His followers were executed by the government at the request of the fanatic clergy.

( His potho is not allowed to be display on the net.)

marato.gif (5805 bytes) Photo of the two of 20,000 martyrs ( Vargha and his son)

By looking at the history of the Middle East during the nineteenth century we find that the Persian government, under strong influence of the Moslem clergy, was shaken by the Bab's announcement that He was the forerunner of Him Whom God shall make manifest ( Baha'u'llah).

Baha'u'llah; declared Himself "The Promised One of God to establish the kingdom of God and the unity of mankind on earth." He and His family were exiled and imprisoned by the Persian and Ottoman governments in the Fortress of Akka near Jerusalem.

Angel2.gif (7478 bytes) Micah, 7 - 12 Describes Baha'u'llah's journey while in captivity :

 "In that day He shall come to thee from Assyria, and from fortified cities, and from fortresses even to the river, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.

 

Behold I am coming quickly!...He who overcomes ( prejudges ) I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God,. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, The New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God. And I will write on him My New name. He who has an ear  let him hear (spiritual ear) ..( Rev 3- 11 to 14 )

Shrine of The Bab

 

"And the gentiles shall see Thy righteousness, and all kings shall see Thy glory: and Thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Lord shall name. 

"Isaiah 62-2 Isaiah 9:6, seeing far into the future wrote: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace....

Government was not upon of Jesus shoulders, He did not claim to be prince of peace or the father.

" He shall set up a banner for the nations, and shall gather together the dispersed of Judah from the Four Corners of the earth." Is 11-12.  

( Jews were disperse after appearance of Jesus and their gathering of "dispersed of Judah ( Jews) " starts to happen during last 100 years. )

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid." ( meaning peace in the world ).Isaiah 9-6 

 This was not supposed to happen during the first coming of Christ and it did not. As Christ mentions in the following verse.

Bible3.gif (303 bytes) "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." Matt 10:34  

Then I saw a New heaven and a new earth ( New Revelation and new earth as a result of it); for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away (Christian era ), and the sea was no more ( meaning reaching to the shore of peace and unity)

 And saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem ( revealing of The most Holy Book by Baha'u'llah) , coming down out of heaven from God, I heard a loud voice speaking from the throne: 

now God's home is with men! He will live with them; ...He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death ( People shall be believers) , no more grief, crying or pain (end of poverty, starvation and injustice) . The old things have disappeared, then the one who sits on the throne said,' and now I made all things new.' Revelations 21:1-5 

( Also it refers to "The Ark" the new administration building of Kingdom of God on Mt Carmel Israel )

 Now, at last, God has fulfilled His Promise. The Prince of Peace, Baha'u'llah has appeared. His message is spreading all over the world. His Laws and Commandments are guiding mankind to Unity, Peace and Obedience to God. Soon men will see The kingdom of God, for the Promise " Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven," is becoming a reality. 

You may remember a few quotations which you may consider to be in contradiction to this subject. Please remember "patience is a virtue". If you read the links on the side most probably you will find most of the answers. Also you shall find on Some Q&A no.11 that how Mithras religion and Roman and Greek culture influenced the early Christian believes.

Here are a few selections from the Writings of The Bab and Baha'u'llah sent down from God.

For more please use the links on the side. 

BALL-GOLD.gif (909 bytes) Is there any Remover of difficulties save God? Say: Praised be God! He is God! All are his servants, and all abide by his bidding! ( by The Bab)   shrbh.gif (27708 bytes)

 BALL-GOLD.gif (909 bytes) Open the doors of your hearts..... Say: We in truth, have opened unto you the gates of the Kingdom. Will ye bar the doors of your houses in My face? From Tablet of Baha'u'llah to Christians.

BALL-GOLD.gif (909 bytes) "Be thou assured in thyself that verily , he who turns away from this Beauty* hath also turned away from the Messengers of the past and showeth pride towards God from all eternity to all eternity."               * Baha'u'llah       From Tablet of Ahmad

In other words, only those who obey the latest revelation of God have kept their covenant with God and are truly saved.

Because the books were sealed as God told Daniel, church leaders have not recognized the coming of the Father and the Second Coming of the Son, they consider prophecies also literal and not IN SPIRIT. Same ways that Rabies did at the time of Jesus.

To think that so many years of study and devotion may be out dated is very hard for them to admit.

Add to this, the social status and financial dependency of the clergy and their families on their churches, since in general they do not know any other way to make a living. Many of them become a priest because there was not any other safe job opportunity for them. In most cases they are not even allowed to study this type of subject and only allowed to refer the matter to their superior! If you ask them they tell you that all other churches and religions are false and following the  devil.

"Not every one who says to me, ' Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21

( as mentioned in the Bible the first ones would be the last ones and last ones first ones')

Only now we can understand meaning of verse 33:2 in Deuteronomy.

The Lord came from Sinai ( Moses ) and dawned from Seir upon us ( Jesus);  He shone from Mount Paran ( Mohammed ), He came forth with ten thousands of Saints ( The Bab ); From His  right hand came a fiery law for them ( Baha'u'llah ).

Please also see false prophets and meaning of return at the side later.

Believing only in the Old Testament is not enough when there is the New Testament.

bible.gif (1349 bytes) Readers who may not like prayer of the Son and Will of the Father "Another Comforter" and want the same Comforter, not wanting for Him to come from the East but rather from the west, not wanting Him to come as a Thief when the landlord is fast asleep, and do not like His new name "Glory of the Father" and love only His old name "Jesus" which they are used to it, and do not want "New heaven, New earth, New Jerusalem," and want to stop God from making things new as quoted, are thinking the way that people were thinking at the time of Jesus since always been like this.

So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many be called but few chosen. Matthew 20:16

It seams the reason that secrets of second coming of Christ was sealed and it was not clear to people was God's wisdom to keep it sealed until the appointed time. Otherwise there were thousands more claims and more confusion.

Go thy way, Daniel : for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. ......., but the wise shall understand. Dan. 12:9-10

Blue_SwirlA034.gif (326 bytes)Baha'is believe all major religions originated from the same God and were intended to lead mankind, and also the revelation of God is progressive and only the latest one can fulfil today's needs.

We respect everybody's religious beliefs. The focus of this web page is not the opening of a door to conflict, rather, the aim is to declare the message of the new manifestation of God.

"Thus have their superstitions become veils between them and their own hearts and kept them from the path of God, the Exalted, the Great."   Baha'u'llah Tablet of Ahmad

We do not intend to argue or judge other people's opinions and rather leave the matter to the reader's own conscience. 

" Verily, Verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do." ( John 5:19 )

As Jesus told the Jews : "Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope. ( John 5:45-6 )  Same also shall be quite true you as the follower of Jesus now. It shall be Jesus that accuses you for breaking His covenant.

Saving of His followers by Jesus was limited to course of Jesus ministry from 25 AD to 1844AD ( date of coming of Spirit of truth and Glory of the Lord ). He commanded you "Seek I".... and ye shall find!" Matt

As Jesus was Christ ( Messiah ) not only because the Old Testament says so, but because of His teachings and His Holy Spirit. In the same way The Bab and Baha'u'llah are the second coming of the Son and the Father ( in Spirit as the case of Elijah being John the Baptist).

For further information you can use the links at the side or down load this subject.

A true seeker is he one who searches without prejudice, has the courage, and prays to God for Guidance.

He kept His promise. Now is your turn to accept or reject His invitation to His latest Revelation.

In the end Baha'is believe only the Almighty God has the power to convert the hearts of people.

" For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14

Most of the quotes are from King James version, though there the other versions do not differ much.
