I see it much, much differently. All the major religions clearly foretell in unmistakeable terms a time when a Great Teacher will arise to bring humanity together and restore love and harmony in the world and it is my unshakable belief that it is precisely because humanity has rejected this Teacher that we have had two major world wars, countless other conflicts and civil wars, a nuclear arms race, drug addiction, racism, suicides and our societies are enveloped in corruption.
Religious leaders instead of teaching their followers that there’s truth in all religions on the contrary have for centuries poisoned the minds and hearts of their followers against any religion but their own leading to wars and bloodshed and hate, prejudice and disunity when their job is to promote love and unity amongst men. The same with race and national prejudices.
The false gods of racism, nationalism and materialism have dominated our world and kept us divided when in reality we are one. We are one people, one human family and that is what this Great Teacher came to remind us of. He came to remind us all of our oneness that we can live in peace if we reject the divisive philosophies taught by those with selfish ambitions.
He, the Promised One taught that all religions are equal and that we should mix with each other in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship even going to each other’s churches, temples, mosques and pagodas to share prayer and meditation.
But religious leaders rejected such inclusivity in favour of exclusivity and claims of superiority which in the end only appease the ego but do nothing for the Cause of love and harmony in the world.
So my belief is the Promised One did come and His call for us to unite and reconcile our differences was rejected resulting in two major wars with more suffering to come because of our choices to remain divided.
