Why will Jesus Christ Pledge Allegiance to Imam Mehdi?
God raised Jesus Christ physically.
And he stayed in the higher realms.
But you do not know where he stayed.
The only thing mentioned in the Quran is that [God] raised [Jesus] to himself.
'Rafa Allah aleyhi'.
So when he raised [Jesus] to himself
what do you think it means?
He called [Jesus] to him.
Right?
Read the words of the Quran.
'Rafa Allah alyehi'
Raised [Jesus] to himself.
God kept Jesus with him for 2000 years.
And then God sent [Jesus] in the era of Imam Mehdi.
And Jesus will pledge allegiance to Imam Mehdi.
Now, if Jesus is going to pledge allegiance to Imam Mehdi -
What is the purpose of a pledge of allegiance?
It is to obtain spiritual benevolence, right?
It's not a joke, is it?
One pledges allegiance to obtain spiritual benevolence.
It is mentioned in Prophetic Traditions that Jesus Christ will pledge allegiance to Imam Mehdi.
And when Imam Mehdi leads the prayers, Jesus Christ will offer prayers behind Him.
Now, if he pledges allegiance to Imam Mehdi,
the Fourth Messenger
will pledge allegiance
what would be the reason behind it?
It would be to obtain spiritual benevolence.
Now, what needs to be understood
is what kind of spiritual benevolence is that
which Jesus did not obtain from God in the 2000 years he spent with God?
And the reason he wasn't granted it is unknown.
However, God sent Jesus in the era of Imam Mehdi.
God sent him in the era of Imam Mehdi.
He was sent in the era of Imam Mehdi and he will pledge allegiance to and obtained spiritual benevolence from Imam Mehdi.
What kind of spiritual benevolence will he obtain from Imam Mehdi?
Whereas, the disciple [Jesus] already possesses enough power
that he was raised to the higher realms by God for 2000 years.
And this disciple has the power to breathe life into birds made of clay and they would fly.
He would restore sight in the blind with a simple touch.
He cured the crippled with but a touch.
Isn't that right?
The disciple already holds so much power.
What other powers does he have?
The Motto of Faith of Jesus Christ
La Ilaha Ilallah Esa Rouh Allah
which means (There is no Creator except God) and Jesus Christ is the Spirit of God.
What does it mean? [Audience: Spirit of God]
And then he will pledge allegiance to Imam Mehdi.
So what is that special spiritual benevolence?
So now tell me, if you have more knowledge.
Think about it. Ponder.
Okay?
Alright, let's suppose
that Jesus Christ was sent down in the era of Prophet Mohammad.
If he came in the era of Prophet Mohammad
he would have obtained spiritual benevolence from Prophet Mohammad.
However, both Jesus and Prophet Mohammad are Messengers
and it is against the law of messengerhood to obtain spiritual benevolence from anywhere but God.
A Messenger cannot pledge allegiance to another Messenger.
It is written in the Quran that all the prophets are equal in the eyes of God.
This is why he was not sent in the era of Prophet Mohammad.
So who is Imam Mehdi to whom he pledged allegiance to?
Food for thought.
Point to ponder.
Use your intellect and think.
I can't just tell you everything.
What I have said so far should suffice.
There is some wisdom, some secret behind this
there has to be a special kind of spiritual benevolence
which Jesus Christ did not possess.
So ponder,
Jesus Christ was raised to the higher realms by God
for 2000 years - and this is from the Quran, I am not making it up.
The holy Quran states, 'Rafa Allah Alayhi - he raised [Jesus] to himself'.
If he raised [Jesus] to himself, it means Jesus was with God
with his physical body.
According to the Quran.
He stayed there for 2000 years.
Now, prophets obtain spiritual benevolence directly from God.
As per the rule, Jesus Christ should have obtained the spiritual benevolence from God in the 2000 years he spent with God.
However, God didn't do this.
Jesus Christ was to return in the era of Imam Mehdi 2000 years later,
pledge allegiance to Imam Mehdi and obtain spiritual benevolence from Imam Mehdi.
Why God didn't grant it to Jesus directly, why he will obtain it from Imam Mehdi is God's discretion.
We do not know the reason.
Since it's divine wisdom, only God would know.
What is the divine wisdom?
All we know
that Jesus stayed with God for 2000 years
but didn't obtain the spiritual benevolence from God.
And he was sent in the era of Imam Mehdi to pledge allegiance to Imam Mehdi to obtain spiritual benevolence.
And the divine wisdom behind this is known only to God. We do not know.
