                             THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
                 Will Come to Lead the Current of True Religion:

                 Bediuzzaman's words "HE WILL COME TO LEAD THE
             CURRENT OF TRUE RELIGION" reveal that the Prophet Jesus
             (as) will be the leader of genuine Christians when he returns to
             Earth. With his coming, Christianity will be purged of its false
             beliefs and pronouncements and will follow the Qur'an.
                 All these developments regarding the Prophet Jesus (as)
             listed by Bediuzzaman will happen at the same time as Hazrat
             Mahdi (as) appears. However, neither the second coming of the

             Prophet Jesus (as) and his assumption of the leadership of all
             Christians, nor Christians' purging their faith of all false beliefs
             and practices has yet happened.
                 Neither has the alliance of the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat
             Mahdi (as) yet come about. Therefore, with all this information
             Bediuzzaman is clearly imparting the welcome tidings that
             Hazrat Mahdi (as) had not come in an earlier period and that all
             these awaited developments were explicit signs of his appear-
             ance.


                 The One Powerful Over All Things has Promised
                 It, He will Certainly Bring It About:

                 Bediuzzaman notes that the coming about of these blessed
             phenomena is a promise made by Almighty Allah. In the Qur'an,
             Allah tells all believers of the global dominion of Islamic morali-
             ty.
                 This promise of Allah's is revealed as follows in a verse:

                 Allah has promised those of you who believe and do
                 right actions that He will make them successors in the
                 land as He made those before them successors, and will
