Fascinating thread -speculating on the next Manifestation
"...ere the expiration of a full thousand years, ..."
Assuming the human race advances to the consensus
that Earth is "but one country and mankind it's citizens"; and indeed the
Province of Almighty God; it does not seem unreasonable that they would
accept a female Manifestation.
It seems to me that one potentially inherent characteristic of
such a degree of unity would be a sense of superiority - reveling in
their achievement.
And in consideration of the technological and scientific
advances that will assuredly occur over the course of a thousand years, by
the Grace of God and the enlightenment of the peoples of
Earth; the physical appearance of "...Him Who will be sent down..."
could be the greatest test and spiritual challenge to the devout - if He were
not an "Earthling".
Just my thoughts...
