When And How
1Will Jesus Return?
1of the Messiah” the Jews had cherished? Could not that happen once again?
Let us first see what history can teach us. It is said “Those who fail to heed the lessons of
history are doomed to repeat them.” Why did the Jews make a colossal misjudgment
concerning their Messiah? Why did they think that He would be a king? What lesson can
we learn from their example? The first and foremost lesson is humility. We can learn that
we may also fail to know the true meaning of prophecies. Do you know any Christian
scholar who has the wisdom and the authority to know the true meaning of prophecies?
Personal views of prophecies among Bible scholars are so diverse, they have given rise to
seven “Schools of Interpretation.”
Aside from heeding the lessons of history and noting the diversity of views among
scholars, we can also learn lessons from how Jesus spoke concerning His First Advent.
Consider this example:
I have come from the sky. Christ (John 6:30, also 42)
We know Jesus was born on earth. Why then did He say that He came down from the
sky? How could He make such a claim? The only reason is this: He often spoke in
Spiritual Language.
Let us now apply the two lessons we have learned from the First Advent (the failure of
the Jews, and the use of spiritual language) to the Second Advent. Consider the following
critical statements, one of them a prophecy, the other an instruction. What did Jesus mean
by this prediction:
I shall come upon you like a thief. Revelation 3:3; 16:15
And what was His purpose in giving this instruction:
Be always on the watch. Luke 21:36
Blessed is he that watcheth… Revelation 16:15
Are not His prediction and His instruction in perfect harmony? Being alert or watchful is
essential only when an event can be missed.
Did not Jesus in His First Advent come also “like a thief ”? He walked among the people,
but did they know who He was? His Spirit was concealed by f lesh and bone.
You may ask: “If Jesus returns once again ‘like a thief ’ just the way He came the first
time, how can we know Him? What about false prophets? How can we recognize His
supreme Spirit in an ordinary body?” This is a serious concern we should all consider. In
response to this concern, ponder this point: What is the difference between the Spirit of
2gifts to recognize such a vast difference? Would any human being, endowed with a mind,
claim that he cannot tell one from the other?
As we noted, the First Advent of Jesus proved that people completely misunderstood the
prophecies. They hoped for a crown of gold; instead they received a crown of thorns!
Could Christians be in the same position the Jews were? Could Jesus, once again come
“like a thief ” and yet claim that He has come from the sky, as He did in His first Advent?
What if we inform you that this is exactly what has happened! Please do not take this
message lightly. Be critical and skeptical, but depend on your mind, not on your
feelings; on courage, not on your comfort zone. Allow the evidence to guide you, not
tradition or popularity.
You may say: How could millions of Christians remain unaware of such an awesome and
incredible Advent? The answer was given by Jesus in a graphic language. Why did He
say that He would come like a thief ? Can we find a thief without being watchful, without
searching for him?
Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time. Hebrews 9:28
The Lord knocks at your heart. Only if you invite Him, will He enter. He will not enter
by force. He respects our freedom to invite Him or to ignore Him:
I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will
come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Revelation 3:2
Are you willing to open your heart, and pay attention—Watch!—to the greatest News the
world has ever known? On the other hand, are you willing to risk your everlasting life by
saying “No!” to this possibility, by ignoring our invitation to examine the mountain of
evidence we are offering you?
Please be both critical and skeptical. But do not close your heart and mind before you
have examined the most conclusive proof you could ever expect. Was this promise and
instruction given to us in vain?
Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Christ (Matt. 7:7)
Does our law permit us to pass judgment on a man unless we have first given him a
hearing and learned the facts? John 7:51
Yes, Jesus returned with a new name (Rev. 2:17), Bahá’u’lláh, (meaning the Glory of
God ), and just like His First Advent, He had a Herald, the Báb (meaning the Gate) who
proclaimed His Mission and the dawning of the Day of the Lord in 1844—a date
predicted eleven times in both the Old and New Testaments. An entire volume (I Shall
Come Again, over 500 pages) is devoted to eleven time-prophecies, all of them pointing
to 1844 as the time of the Second Advent.
Do we make such an awesome and seemingly incredible claim without conclusive proof ?
No, we have more evidence than you could possibly imagine! We invite you to begin
your search by examining a three-volume series that covers over 1,600 pages of
prophecies fulfilled by the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh. If 1,600 pages of fulfilled prophecies
will not move you to investigate, then what will? What else do you expect?
3heaven, you will be disappointed. Lifting is entirely up to you. You must lift your soul to
heaven through your own endeavors, your own free will. This invitation offers you the
“wings” that will help you rise from ignorance to the knowledge of truth, from darkness
to light. Only the wings of knowledge will help you rise to your divine destination. Once
you take the first step, you will say: “Why has such an awesome Advent remained hidden
from so many Christians? We have already offered you the answer:
I shall come upon you like a thief… Christ (Rev. 3:3)
It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.
Christ (Luke 12:37)
Jesus really meant what He said. And His prediction has come true.
To start your search, you have many choices. You can begin by reading the three-volume
series of prophecies fulfilled by Jesus in His Second Advent and by His Herald. These
prophecies are so vast, they are explained in three large volumes:
• I Shall Come Again, hardcover, 518 pages, $12.00
• Lord of Lords, hardcover, 630 pages, $12.00
• King of Kings, hardcover, 508 pages, $12.00
Shipping is free. If you are not satisfied, you may return the books for a full
refund.
The Scripture teaches us that our salvation depends on knowledge. And that is exactly
what we are asking you to seek:
Through knowledge shall the just be delivered. Proverbs 11:9
What can you lose from seeking knowledge, from searching and learning? And what can
you lose from not searching and learning? Your eternal life is at stake! Would you take
that loss lightly?
Suppose some day you will be asked: “Why did you fail to investigate the Greatest News
the world has ever known?” How will you respond? Will you say:
“My pastor told me that we are certain how Jesus will return. Do not believe anyone
who tells you otherwise. Jesus promised that He will come down from the sky and
take us—the faithful Christians—to heaven. We have no doubt about this. The only
thing we can do is to be patient. Anyone who comes any other way is a false prophet.
Do not trust him.” Then you add: “I was sure my pastor knew more about the Bible
than I did. Therefore, I believed him.”
Please respect and support your pastor or your priest, or whoever you think will guide
you to heaven. But remember that you alone are accountable to God for your choices.
You must stand alone before “the judgment seat of God” (2 Cor. 5:10), without the
support of your pastor.
Our world is extremely crowded. We hear so many stories that make us careless and
callous. Many Christians have become lukewarm (Rev. 3:16). They have lost their faith.
Jesus predicted the scarcity of faith in our time:
When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? Christ (Luke 18:8)
4Christ (Matt. 24:37)
We hope and pray that you are an exception; that you have not lost your faith and trust in
Jesus; that you are not like those who lived at the time of Noah. Our sole responsibility is
to inform you and invite you. You are free to ignore our invitation, or in the words of
Jesus “Watch!” that is, pay attention to our message. It is entirely up to you. We will not
send you another letter. To make your search easy, we are offering you several choices,
