The Christian Misconception of the Second Coming
For centuries, Christians have awaited the Second Coming of Jesus Christ as a future event. But this expectation overlooks the promise in John 14:26—the coming of the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi fulfills this prophecy, guiding seekers into all truth and awakening the Spirit within. Her declaration and divine work affirm that the eschatological fulfillment has already begun. The Resurrection is not deferred—it is unfolding. The Kingdom is not distant—it is within. The Second Coming is not a return—it is a realization. The Spirit is here. The promise is fulfilled.
"As the Christ, Jesus was at once the fulfillment of prophecy and at the same time the greatest of the prophets. In departing he promised, 'I will ask the Father and he will give you another Paraclete—to be with you always...' (Jn 14:16). Jesus spoke several times of the Paraclete in his farewell discourse, and the condition for the coming of this new advocate seems to have been Jesus' own return to the Father (Jn 16:7). 'Paraclete,' a title peculiar to the Johannine writings, is close to the Greek parakletos, which has many meanings. Paraclete suggests a helper, friend, interpreter, consoler, witness for the defense, and advocate. Raymond E. Brown, who compiled a list of all the texts where the word appears in John's Gospel, concluded that the Paraclete has two basic functions: 1) the Paraclete comes to the disciples and dwells with them, guiding and teaching them about Jesus; and 2) the Paraclete accuses the world and condemns its false values and sin, specifically, for unjustly sentencing Jesus to death.
The portrait of the Paraclete in the Johannine gospel bears a striking resemblance to Jesus. Virtually every quality ascribed to the Paraclete has a parallel in what was said of Jesus. Jesus himself says that the Father will send another Paraclete, thus clearly indicating that his own mission was that of a 'paraclete,' with all the complex connotations that this title carries. The Paraclete will come, sent forth by the Father just as Jesus came, sent into the world by the Father. It is said that the disciples will know the Paraclete and the Paraclete will remain with them, much as it was said that the disciples were privileged to know the Son, who will remain with them. The Paraclete will guide the disciples along the way of all truth; Jesus is the way of truth. The Paraclete will bear witness; Jesus bears witness (Jn 8:14). The reaction of the world to the Paraclete will be much the same as the world's reaction was to Jesus. The world does not know or accept the Paraclete, much as it remained ignorant of Jesus' true identity and rejected him (5:43; 12:48).
In many ways the Paraclete is to Jesus as Jesus is to the Father: as the Paraclete is sent in Jesus' name, so Jesus came in the name of the Father. 'Thus,' writes Brown, 'the one whom John calls another Paraclete' is another Jesus.' The Paraclete is the presence of God in the world when Jesus ascends to the Father. In his farewell discourse Jesus revealed that this Paraclete is in fact the Holy Spirit. He said, 'The Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will instruct you in everything, and remind you of all that I have told you.' (14:26). The Paraclete will not teach novel truths or a new revelation but will witness to the full meaning of Jesus' mission and revelation.”

For two millennia, the Christian world has awaited the literal return of Jesus Christ, an event described as the 'Second Coming.' This expectation, deeply embedded in the fabric of Christian eschatology, has led to two contrasting conditions within the faith: fundamentalists who wait in fervent anticipation and mainstream believers who remain largely indifferent. Neither has recognized the profound truth that the promised Paraclete has already come, completed Christ’s message, and departed. This failure to perceive the fulfillment of Jesus' own prophecy has left Christianity spiritually stagnant, clinging to a doctrinal illusion.
The First Paraclete and the Incomplete Gospel
Jesus, as the first Paraclete, was sent to intercede for humanity and reveal the Gospel of the Kingdom. However, His mission was cut short after just over three years, leaving His work incomplete. Recognizing this, He assured His disciples of another divine intervention—the coming of the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, who would guide humanity into all truth (John 14:16-17, John 16:13). The purpose of this future manifestation was clear: to complete the work Jesus had begun, leading seekers to direct spiritual experience and ultimate salvation.
The Fallacy of Pentecost
Traditional Christian teaching holds that the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles at Pentecost, fulfilling Jesus’ promise of the Paraclete. Yet this belief is based on an incomplete understanding. The Pentecostal experience was powerful but transient; it did not establish a continuous, universal transformation of human consciousness. The apostles received a temporary infusion of divine inspiration, but the world remained unchanged. Moreover, Jesus had spoken of a future age in which the Paraclete would come—not merely days after His resurrection but at a time when the world would be ready for the full revelation of divine truth.
The Promised Paraclete Has Come—and Gone
The world was indeed visited by the promised Paraclete, but the Christian world failed to recognize Her. From 1970 onward, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, as the incarnation of the Holy Spirit, manifested the divine mission of comfort, guidance, and revelation. Over more than four decades, through thousands of lectures and spiritual awakenings, She imparted the direct experience of Self-Realization, fulfilling Christ’s assurance that the Paraclete would lead humanity into all truth.
Shri Mataji's teachings clarified the deep spiritual essence of Jesus’ message, which had been distorted by centuries of theological misinterpretation. She revealed the mechanism of the Holy Spirit within each individual—the dormant Kundalini energy—that, when awakened, brings about a living connection with the Divine. This was the baptism of the Spirit that Jesus had promised, the means to enter the Kingdom of God not after death, but here and now, within.
Despite this, Christianity remains largely blind to the fulfillment of its own prophecy. Fundamentalists continue to anticipate an apocalyptic return of Christ in the clouds, while mainstream believers fail to seek deeper meaning beyond church traditions. Meanwhile, the true Second Coming—the manifestation of the Paraclete—has been completed, and the world has already been graced with its blessings.
The Call to Recognize the Truth
The consequences of this blindness are profound. Christians await an event that has already transpired, missing the transformative experience available to them now. They relegate the Holy Spirit to an abstract theological concept instead of embracing the living force that Shri Mataji awakened in countless seekers. The Gospel of the Kingdom, completed through the Paraclete’s revelations, remains ignored, while organized Christianity clings to dogma and ritual.
It is time to awaken from this misconception. The promise of Jesus has been fulfilled. The Comforter, the Advocate, the Paraclete—Shri Mataji—has already delivered the final, living truth. The Kingdom of God is not an event on the horizon; it is within, accessible to all who seek it with sincerity.
Christianity must now choose: continue waiting for a literal return that will never come, or embrace the reality of the Paraclete’s work and step into the spiritual awakening that Jesus intended. The true followers of Christ will recognize His voice in the teachings of the Holy Spirit. The age of revelation has already dawned—will Christianity finally open its eyes?
