LORD JESUS MEETS HDE GOHAR SHAHI
THE RETURN OF
LORD JESUS CHRIST
Is the world ready?
T
HERE ARE MANY THINGS
mentioned in the Bible about the Second
Coming of Lord Jesus Christ. The general
understanding is that Jesus will return in the
end times. Signs preceding the advent of Jesus
Christ include the moral decline of society, [2
TIMOTHY 3:1-5] increase in warfare, [MATTHEW
24:6] widespread misguidance [2 TIMOTHY 3:13] a
surge in natural disasters [LUKE 21:10-11] and the
appearance of the divine signs [LUKE 21:25] .
According to scripture, during his second
advent, Jesus Christ will wage a war against
the Antichrist. The war will culminate in an epic
battle known as Armageddon.
Indeed, it was in regards to his Second
Coming that Jesus warned, ‘Do not assume that I
have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not
come to bring peace, but a sword.’ [MATTHEW 10:34]
For history shows that during his first era,
Jesus Christ did not pick up the sword in any
sense of the word.
Interestingly, 2 Peter 3:3-4 states,
‘Above all, you must understand that
in the last days scoffers will come,
scoffing and following their own evil
desires. They will say, “Where is this
‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our
ancestors died, everything goes on as it
has since the beginning of creation.”’
With a fair mind, consider the state of our
world today. Is it not about time for the return of
Lord Jesus Christ? What if his return has already
taken place but the majority of people have not
been able to recognise him?
The meeting between His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi
and Lord Jesus Christ took place in New Mexico, USA, in 1997.
I
N AN INTERVIEW IN LONDON ON 28TH
July, 1997, His Divine Eminence made the
following statement.
‘On the 29th May 1997, I was at the El Monte
Lodge in Taos, New Mexico. During the second
half of the night, I felt the presence of a man in
my room. There was not enough light, so at first I
thought it was one of my followers.
I asked him, “Why have you come?” The man
replied, “I have come to see you.”
I turned on the light and I saw a
handsome young man standing before
me, whom I did not know. Seeing him,
I felt immense energy and spiritual
ecstasy in my soul and spiritual
entities, a similar spiritual ecstasy
that I would feel and experience in the
gathering of the Higher Realms.
‘I learnt that he could speak many languages. The
young man told me, “I am Jesus (Son of Mary). I
am in America, presently.” I asked him, “Where do

you live?” he replied, “I neither had a home in the
past nor now.”’
When His Divine Eminence was requested
for further details of the meeting, His Divine
Eminence replied, ‘What Jesus and I have
discussed is a secret, but I shall reveal it at an
appropriate time in the future.’
His Divine Eminence stated, ‘A few days later,
I visited Tucson (Arizona), where somebody
showed me a photograph; they said, “It was
Jesus.”
‘I instantly recognised the man in the photograph,
as he was the same man who appeared in my
room at the El Monte Lodge. I asked the owner
of the photograph about its origin. He told me,
“Some people took photographs of some sacred
places and, surprisingly, this photograph of
[Jesus] emerged from amongst the prints when
the film was processed. This man was neither
seen nor photographed.”
‘I took the photograph of this young man
(Jesus) and tried to match it with the one of the
many images on the Moon. I realised that the
image on the photograph matched one of the
images on the Moon. I confirm and verify that
this is the true Image of Jesus.’
