Judgment is what most religious people fear most. All religions have prophecies about it. But it is not and will not be as they expect it. Since Christianity is the largest and most powerful religion in the world, we should know this about how the judgment will come, and from whom. Jesus (Yeshuah of Nazareth) said: "I tell you the truth; It is to your advantage that I go away: for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in me ; of righteousness, because I go to our Father and you see me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth. For he shall not speak of himself ; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he declare, and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and shall declare it to you." (John 16:7-15)
So, one person will issue the judgment, guide humanity unto the truth, show you things to come, and glorify and declare the testimony of the Christ in heaven. However, while the Spirit of truth and Comforter can influence and inspire individuals through spiritual revelation or epiphany, the Holy Spirit-Consciousness of the Ancient One needs a messenger, a son of man, to convey and deliver the message to all humanity. It couldn’t happen otherwise. And the message reminds all the world of what the enlightened ones taught; to guide us unto the truth, clarify the truth, show us things to come, and deliver the judgment in writing so that the message can be delivered to all humanity.
Jesus also said: “The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. Some people will tell you, He is there, or He is here. But do not go after them, nor follow them. For the Son of Man, when his day comes, will be like the lightning that flashes and lights up one part under heaven, also lights up other parts under heaven. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected by his generation.” (Luke 17:22-25)
The wording is revised slightly, stating “when his day comes” to fit the actual reality and what Jesus meant. And the “lightening” refers to the fact that the message is delivered electronically, over the world wide Web and Internet, and can be accessed all over the world instantly, like “lightening, and in a flash.”
Of course, traditional Christian belief is that Jesus was speaking of himself in Luke 17:22-25, but that misunderstanding was because Jesus did speak of himself when he said something very similar. That is, Jesus said of himself: "... this son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain." That is similar, which is why there has been misunderstanding. However, the suffering of Jesus was not first or beforehand, but at the very end of his life and after his mission was fulfilled, whereas the modern son of man has suffered first.
Furthermore, even though Jesus was rejected by those in power (by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and by the small mob of people who rejected Jesus after he was arrested to crucify him and free the criminal Barabbus), Jesus was not rejected by his generation. In fact, Jesus was accepted by multitudes from every generation at the time. That is made clear throughout the book of Matthew and in the book of Luke. It was also confirmed by an impartial Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, who wrote at the time that Jesus "won over many Jews and many of the Greeks."
“In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord of our righteousness. For thus says the Lord: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.” (Jeremiah 33:15-17)
Notice that no man should or will sit upon the throne of the house of Israel. Jesus did not, and this modern son of man will not. He will not even speak as Jesus did, but tells you in writing that we shall all share the “thrones” of our nations as equal joint heirs to the new “kingdom” of God.
"Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delights. I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street." (Isaiah 42:1-2)
Many Christians believe that too speaks of Jesus because one sentence in the book of Matthew claims it does. But it clearly does not. Jesus did rise up as a teacher-orator. He did cry out to make his voice heard on many occasions, and he certainly did cause his voice to be heard in the street, as is stated in Matthew 4:25; Matthew 13:14; Luke 14:25; and others.
Unlike Jesus, the current servant of God -- the son of man and the messenger for the Spirit of truth -- does not rise up, and he does not cause his voice to be heard as an orator in public. He fulfills Judaic prophecies that Jesus did not.
“(God) has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid me; And said unto me, You are my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God. And now, says the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.” (Isaiah 49:2-5)
As David wrote, God’s “tongue is the pen of a ready writer,” and, as Paul wrote, the “weapons of the Lord are not carnal (or lethal) but mighty through God for pulling down strongholds.” So, the son of man is a writer-messenger, who is hidden in the “shadow of God’s hand,” who tries to deliver the message to humanity but feels he has labored in vain because he is rejected. “Behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.” ... and he “shall be called, Sought out, a city not forsaken.” (Isaiah 62:11-12)
“He that overcomes will I make as a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God. And I will write upon him my new name.” (Revelation 3:12)
So, the son of man, the messenger for the Spirit of truth, serves and represents the Ancient One who is in heaven with God, who was “before Abraham.” That Ancient One is known not only as the Christ, but also the Avatar, the Buddha, the Saoshyant, the Mahdi, Melchizedek, the Spirit of truth, etc., and the modern son of man is his servant-messenger. That’s it.
