________________ CHAPTER XI. THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH. * دیكهة اگر دیکهنا هے ذوق که و پرده نشین - دیده روزن دل سے ھے دکھائی دیتا · The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God : and if children, then heirs : heirs of Go and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."--Romans, VIII, 16-17. The advent of the coming Messiah, the Redeemer divine, is an event for the signs of which almost every mystic's eye is constantly turned heavenward. The belief is to be found in almost every system of mythology, no apocalyptic religion being altogether free from its influence, though different names are given by different creeds to the Saviour who is to come. Thus, Hinduism has its Kalki, Islam its Mehdi, Theosophy its Maitrai and Christianity its Christ. This difference of nomenclature, however, does not affect the function of the coming Messiah who is expected in each and every instance to establish a new order of things by redeeming the faithful and by destroying the foe. Many and varied are the prophecies which foretell the coming of the 'Lord,' and history records the names of some of the men who have claimed to be the coming Messiah themselves. In our own day we have seen considerable stir ** If thou wouldst, O Zauk, behold that glorious one behind the Veil, “ Then peep through the hole in thy heart."
