Could Buddhism Be A True Religion That's Become Distorted?

Abruised reed he will not break, and smoking flax he will not
quench; he will bring forth justice for truth. He will not fail nor be dis-
couraged, till he has established justice in the earth; and the coast-
lands shall wait for his law . . . I, the Lord, have called you in
righteousness, and will hold your hand; I will keep you and give you
as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles, to open blind

eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness
from the prison house. (Isaiah 42: 1-7)
But with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with eq-
uity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod
of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of his loins . . . (Isaiah 11: 4-5)

The New Testament gives much information about the Second
Coming of Jesus to the world:
I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am,
there you may be also. (John 14: 2-3)
This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so
come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven. (Acts 1: 11)

Therefore if they say to you, "Look, he is in the desert!' do not go out;
or "Look, He is in the inner rooms!" do not believe it. For as the light-
ning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the
coming of the Son of Man be. (Matthew 24: 26-27)

Iurge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before
Christ Jesus. . . that you keep this commandment without spot,
blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing, which He will
manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate,
The King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality,
dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see,
to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. (1 Timothy 6: 13-16)
The kingdom that will come into being with the second coming
