Theological Failure to Recognize the Paraclete
For two millennia, Christian theology has awaited the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise—the coming of the Paraclete who would guide humanity into all truth. Yet when Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi fulfilled this prophecy through four decades of spiritual ministry, theologians remained silent. Jürgen Moltmann’s vision of eschatology as reconciliation is noble, but powerless without the Paraclete’s actual presence. The failure to recognize Her is not just an oversight—it is a betrayal of Christ’s promise. The time for waiting is over. The Paraclete has come. The door to salvation was opened. But theology refused to walk through it. Now, the future Christianity awaits will never arrive.
Steinfels highlights the rarity of the term "eschatology" in everyday discourse: "If you had read every word of this newspaper every day for the last five years, you would have encountered it fewer than 20 times." While fundamentalists focus on "final battles between good and evil, the coming of Jesus (or other messianic figures), the Last Judgment and the eternal assignment of the saved and the damned to heaven or to hell," liberal believers often dismiss these as "striking but disconcerting poetry."
Jürgen Moltmann, however, insists that eschatology is central to Christian theology, asserting that biblical revelation is grounded in divine promises rather than mere historical trends. He critiques the traditional image of the Last Judgment, stating, "The image of the God who judges in wrath has caused a great deal of spiritual damage." Instead, he envisions a "great Day of Reconciliation," where divine justice is not about retribution but "God’s creative justice," which restores victims and transforms perpetrators.
For 20 centuries, Christians have awaited the eschatological salvation that is the very foundation of their faith. The Last Judgment and the promise of eternal life through Christ have remained central tenets, yet their realization has been continuously postponed into an ever-receding future. Meanwhile, theological discourse, such as Moltmann’s, has shifted towards a reinterpretation of traditional doctrines, seeking to redefine divine justice, reconciliation, and salvation. While such reflections may be intellectually stimulating, they remain utterly powerless in delivering the salvation that Christ assured.
The Paradox of an Unfulfilled Hope
Moltmann’s forward-looking eschatology is ultimately a theology of deferral—one that insists upon an unfinished, ever-distant future while failing to consider whether the key event that Christians await has already transpired. Jesus explicitly foretold the coming of the Paraclete, the Comforter who would guide humanity into all truth (John 16:13). Yet, for Christian scholars, this remains a vague, undefined expectation rather than an event that has already taken place.
The reality, however, is undeniable. Shri Mataji’s ministry, which began in 1970 and spanned four decades, brought forth a direct experience of the Holy Spirit through Kundalini awakening, fulfilling the very promise of the Paraclete in both word and deed. Her revelation of Self-Realization, her emphasis on divine truth, and her transformative impact on countless lives testify to the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy. And yet, Christian theologians—including progressive voices like Moltmann—have categorically failed to engage with this reality.
Theology’s Greatest Betrayal: Denial of Fulfillment
This failure is not a mere oversight but a catastrophic abdication of theological responsibility. Theologians who continue to speculate about an unfinished future while ignoring the clear evidence of the Paraclete’s past and present work have, in effect, denied the very promise upon which Christianity rests.
Moltmann critiques traditional eschatology for its punitive imagery and reimagines judgment as an embrace of love and reconciliation. Yet, what value does such a vision hold when theologians refuse to confront the reality that the means of achieving this reconciliation—the direct guidance of the Paraclete—has already been made available? Instead, Christian thought remains shackled to archaic doctrines, reluctant to venture beyond its own self-imposed limitations.
This intellectual stagnation is not simply an academic failure; it is a spiritual betrayal of Jesus Himself. By rejecting or ignoring the fulfillment of His promise, Christianity has effectively rendered itself obsolete, clinging to a future hope that is no longer relevant. The gift has been given; the door to salvation has been opened. But those entrusted with the theological stewardship of Christianity have failed to walk through it.
Conclusion: No More Hope, Only a Missed Destiny
The implications of this failure are dire. If the Paraclete has already come and gone—if Shri Mataji’s four-decade ministry was indeed the manifestation of the Comforter promised by Jesus—then there remains no future fulfillment to await. The hope that Christianity has clung to for two millennia has already materialized, yet it has been left unrecognized and unacknowledged by those who should have proclaimed it.
This leaves us with an unassailable conclusion: Christian eschatology has collapsed under the weight of its own ignorance. The expectation of divine intervention in some distant future is a hollow delusion, a refusal to accept that the promise has been fulfilled and the opportunity squandered. The time for waiting is over; the time for recognition has passed. The Paraclete has come, fulfilled Her mission, and departed. Those who continue to wait for what has already occurred have condemned themselves to an eternity of spiritual blindness.
Thus, what remains for Christianity? Nothing but an empty shell of theological speculation, disconnected from the truth it was meant to uphold. Salvation was offered, and theologians refused to see it. Now, the promise stands fulfilled, but Christianity remains lost in the shadow of its own unfulfilled hopes—trapped in a future that will never arrive.
