Eschatological aspect of the kingdom possesses for Jesus supreme, absolute interest

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

As messengers and believers of the Last Judgement and Resurrection

we have all the evidence and enlightenment directly from the Spirit

of God, as well as the freedom, mandate and blessings of Her

incarnation Shri Mataji to spread the Good News of the Kingdom of

God. Let's spend the rest of our lives fulfilling the deepest

desire of Shri Mataji to help emancipate humanity.

 

We should realize that " the eschatological aspect of the kingdom

possesses for Jesus supreme, absolute interest and is not a mere

fringe, as it were, of His consciousness, nor a mere accidental form

for expressing the truth that the religious and ethical forces must

revolutionize the world. "

 

If you truly want to be that religious and ethical force that will

revolutionize the world to the eschatological aspect of the kingdom,

then be prepared to spend all your spare time, energy and attention

on fulfilling it. As i have said, we have all the evidence and

enlightenment from both the Spirit of God and Her incarnation Shri

Mataji to spread the Good News of the Kingdom of God. All you need do

is point seekers to the websites. That is all you need to do. Nothing

else - no lectures, meetings, talks, conversations, arguments, or

public programs. From the relaxed atmosphere of your home you can

refer seekers to the http://adishakti.org site and help Shri Mataji

fulfill the Eschatology of Jesus. It cannot get easier than that as

the full and complete message of the Comforter is openly declared.

You will be doing exactly what is expected of you by the Savior,

Holy Spirit and God Almighty - spreading the Good News! Period!

 

regards to all,

The Eschatology of Jesus; Or, The Kingdom Come and Coming

The Princeton Theological Review 4:124-127. [1906]

 

The four lectures contained in this book largely deal with the issue

raised in recent times by the hyper-eschatological interpretation of

our Lord's kingdom-preaching, of His Messianic consciousness, in

fact of His whole mind and message. This interpretation tends to

shift the center of gravity in our Lord's gospel from the ethical to

the eschatological, in the sense that the latter might almost seem to

have possessed for Jesus' mind a supreme interest for its own sake

apart from its religious and ethical implications. So far as the

writer disputes the correctness of this position, we find ourselves

in hearty agreement with the central thesis of his book, and believe

it will render most timely service. He very skillfully points out the

main fallacy of this modern view. It lies in the tacit assumption

that ethical and eschatological form a logical antithesis. But in

reality there is nothing to prove that in what Jesus taught

concerning the eschatological coming of the kingdom and the acts or

events associated with it, He was inspired by any other than the

purest and deepest religious and ethical motives. The kingdom of the

end is still the kingdom in which communion with God and

righteousness are central and supreme. Undoubtedly the eschatological

crisis contains much that cannot be resolved into purely religious

and ethical processes, it contains physical and cosmical elements,

and in so far it may be said to go beyond the sphere of the present

kingdom which our Lord declares to have been realized in the

spiritual sphere even at the time of his earthly ministry. But what

there is more in the conception of the eschatological kingdom,

materially considered, does not for this reason become extra-ethical

or extra-religious, formally considered. It is further plain, and

this we wish the author might have emphasized more than he does, that

by reason of its ethical and religious significance the

eschatological aspect of the kingdom possesses for Jesus supreme,

absolute interest and is not a mere fringe, as it were, of His

consciousness, nor a mere accidental form for expressing the truth

that the religious and ethical forces must revolutionize the world.

Jesus believed that nothing short of a cosmical regeneration could

bring about the normal religious and ethical state in which the

center of the kingdom consists.

" This is the most important time because Sahaja Yoga is the Last

Judgment. It is fantastic to have this, but that's a fact and is the

truth. Though you can understand that Mother's Love makes it very

easy for you to get to your Realization and that the whole story of

Last Judgment, which looks such a horrifying experience, has been

made very beautiful, and very tender, and delicate, and does not

disturb you. But this is the Last Judgment, I tell you, and you are

all going to be judged through Sahaja Yoga, whether you can enter

into the Kingdom of God or not. " Shri Mataji

 

 

" Today, Sahaja Yoga has reached the state of Mahayoga, which is en-

masse evolution manifested through it. It is this day's Yuga Dharma.

It is the way the Last Judgment is taking place. Announce it to all

the seekers of truth, to all the nations of the world, so that nobody

misses the blessings of the Divine to achieve their meaning, their

absolute, their spirit. " - Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" The main thing that one has to understand is that the time has come

for you to get all that is promised in the scriptures, not only in

the Bible but all the scriptures of the world. The time has come

today that you have to become a Christian, a Brahmin, a Pir, through

your Kundalini awakening only. There is no other way. And that your

Last Judgment is also now. " - Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" Sahaja Yoga is for the emancipation of the whole world, at every

level. Once we have people of a certain number in Sahaja Yoga, it

will start triggering understanding of real righteousness,

religiousness and our love for God, and enlightened faith in God.

This is how the Resurrection time is going to be worked out. This is

the Last Judgment time, and everyone can judge him or herself through

the light of the Spirit. " - Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" If we follow Him (Jesus) then we cannot be conditioned by anything

because He talked of Spirit only. Spirit cannot be conditioned,

conditioned by anything. . . . I am here to tell you all these things

which Christ could not tell, and to fulfil what He wanted to say. All

those things I am saying to you. "

" Jesus solemnly assures the disciples that they will, in the future,

perform even greater miracles than He. By this He means to say that

through the power of the Holy Spirit, they will bring about the

greatest miracle of all – the salvation of lost souls. He promises

them that whatever they ask for, in connection with their ministry of

bringing the miracle of salvation to lost men, will be granted them.

 

The theme of this section is reassurance and encouragement. Jesus

gives the disciples three basic reasons they should cease being

troubled in their spirits. First, He tells them that, although He is

going away, He will return for them so that they may ultimately join

Him where He is going (vv. 1-3). Second, He tells them that, though

He is going away, He will be the only means by which men may come to

God and go to Heaven (vv. 4-11). Third, He tells them that, though He

is going away, their ministries are not finished. In fact, the best

is still ahead. They are going, by the Holy Spirit's power, to be

part of the greatest miracle of all, bringing men to salvation (vv.

12-14). " ...

 

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will

send in my name, shall teach you all things, and bring all things to

your remembrance, whatsoever I have told unto you.

 

Jesus now summarizes all that He has been saying in this section.

Referring to the many things which He has taught them while He has

been present with them in the flesh, He tell the disciples that the

Comforter not only is going to remind them of these things, but also

will go to teach them all things necessary to their understanding and

happiness. The Comforter will recall to their minds Jesus' teachings,

will enable them to understand truly and completely, and will develop

and expand them into new and wonderful truths.

 

Jesus has referred to the coming Comforter as the Spirit of Truth (v.

17)...[whose] primary function is the work of making men holy. This

is the work we call sanctification.

 

In v. 16 Jesus has said that the Comforter is going to be provided to

the disciples by the Father on the basis of His (Jesus') prayer that

He should do so. Now He says that the Father is going to send the

Comforter in His (Christ's) name. These statements are essentially

identical and imply a joint action involving both Father and Son. "
