Why Study the return of the Lord Jesus?

In “The Book of Daniel and the Return of the Lord” Rev. Dr.Jayanand I.Chawhan, has quoted the prophecies which are fulfilled and which yet to be fulfilled till the return of the Lord are made clear and explicit.When I read the book I found it to be a very thoughtful, well defined and all the Biblical prophecies,visions and dreams are revealed through various analogies. I recommend his book with great enthusiasm.

The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus is one of the few great and very important subjects in the Bible.The teaching about the return of the Lord is given 1,845 times in the Bible. Of these only 318 it is mentioned in the New Testament, while it is given in the Old Testament extensively and in various ways.The Lord's return is the main subject of 17 books of the Old Testament.The teaching of an entire epistle in the New Testament is on this subject.On an average seven chapters of every ten in the the New Testament deal with the Return of the Lord.So much importance is given to the Return because it is a great subject.

The Focus of all prophecies in the Bible is the Return of the Lord. Mankind became sinful because of the sin of one man, and the entire creation became subject to futility (Gen 3:17,Rom 8:18-25).The Return of the Lord is necessary to make man sinless and also to put him in a sinless atmosphere. In order to accomplish that purpose and to remove Satan forever, the Return of the Lord is very essential.

21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.(Romans 8:21,22)

And this creation will be liberated from the slavery,ye,from the effects of the curse as the return of the Lord.That is why the Lord’s return is essential.

Rambabu – Testimony of Hindu Brahmin from Karnataka Rambabu comes from a very well educated orthodox Brahmin family. His father is a professor in English from a reputed College. His mother is also an English teacher. He has 2 siblings who are both lecturers in English. The family belongs to the highest Hindu caste of Brahmins. Since childhood Rambabu grew up listening to many mythological stories from his grandmother. She used to say that in olden days, it was known that because we cannot see God physically in the world, he has created Brahmans in the world. All the thousands of gods live in the Brahmins. Rambabu from his childhood would perform all religious duties in two different temples. He would pray and perform “puja” every morning and night. Rambabu knew all the religious traditions so well that other people would invite him to perform religious activities in their homes. He was such strict Brahmin that he would

Mahatma Gandhi admired Jesus and His teachings but did not follow "Christianity"

As Gandhi famously said, “I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” See, that’s a problem. And it’s not that I expect Christians to be perfect. Far from it. But if we’re ever going to be justified in claiming Jesus as the model for our lives, it might help first if there was more of a resemblance. Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most respected leaders of modern history. A Hindu, Gandhi nevertheless admired Jesus and often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Gandhi he asked him, "Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?" Gandhi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ." Apparently Gandhi's rejection of Christianity grew out of an incident that happened when he was a young man practi

The Law of Karma

Image
There is a lot of misunderstanding around this word. Karma simply means action. Every action has consequences. Conscious choice making is the most effective way of creating future consequences of karma. Karma creates the future, but it is also an echo from the past. Karma conditions our soul through memory, desire and imagination. Most people are prisoners of Karma, because it becomes a conditioned reflex and produces predictable outcomes in their lives. The goal of enlightenment is to break the in shackles of Karma. Every person is responsible for his or her acts and thoughts, so each person's karma is entirely his or her own. Occidentals see the operation of karma as fatalistic. But that is far from true since it is in the hands of an individual to shape his own future by schooling his present. Hindu philosophy, which believes in life after death, holds the doctrine that if the karma of an individual is good enough, the next birth will be rewarding, and if not, the
