Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Adherents of Christianity are not the only religious group that expects a Messiah. There are Jews who expect a Mashiach, Muslims who expect a Mahdi, Buddhists who expect a Buddha Maitreya, Hindus who expect a Kalki Avatar, and so on, because the prophets of nearly every religion in the world predicted the coming of such a one. However, most of the prophecies are vague, and some of them have been misinterpreted and distorted and have consequently produced erroneous expectations.
For example, in the fourth century CE (AD) the Nicene Creed declared that Jesus of Nazareth himself would "come again to judge the world." However, Jesus of Nazareth did not actually say he would come again in person. |
