                             THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
             found faith will be able to recognise him through the luminosity
             of faith, but society in general will not know he is the Prophet
             Jesus (as):


                 When the Prophet Jesus (as) Comes:

                 By the words "WHEN THE PROPHET JESUS (AS)
             COMES" Bediuzzaman is shedding light on a number of impor-
             tant matters. With the words "WHEN [HE] ... COMES" Bediuz-
             zaman is imparting the tidings that the Prophet Jesus (as) will
             "DEFINITELY COME." Bediuzzaman uses the verb "COME" to
             make it clear that the Prophet Jesus (as) is "AN INDIVIDUAL,"
             not a "spiritual entity."
                 A collective personality cannot "come" anywhere. A collec-

             tive personality can only "form." "COMING" is an action specif-
             ic to human beings. By these words Bediuzzaman is emphasiz-
             ing this significant difference and making it certain that the
             Prophet Jesus (as) will return as a human being.


                 Him to be the True Jesus:

                 By these words Bediuzzaman is again emphasizing that the
             Prophet Jesus (as) is "A HUMAN BEING" and not a spiritual
             entity. By referring to "THE TRUE JESUS" Bediuzzaman is
             again referring to "A PERSON", the difference between the
             Prophet Jesus (as) and other people being made definite by the
             use of the word "TRUE." Bediuzzaman also uses the pronoun
             "HIM" to again reiterate the fact that the Prophet Jesus (as) is "A
             HUMAN BEING." In addition, Bediuzzaman's use of the words
             "THE TRUE JESUS" emphasize that when he returns he will be
             different from the "false Messiahs," who also are all human
