[Alexandr Korol]

When the Second Coming takes place, the Lord will perform the following actions: He will destroy the power of the Antichrist over the nations; cast the devil and demons into eternal fire; resurrect and bring before Himself for judgment — all who have ever lived on earth — for the so-called Last Judgment, and determine the eternal fate of each; transform the world by delivering the old one to fire and creating a new one — incorruptible and spiritual — where the righteous will dwell forever with God and in God.”

What conclusion can I draw? It turns out that in all religions, what coincides is this: the Second Coming in any religion must happen at a time when people have distanced themselves from God, when they have become unconscious, lost, and evil. This, you see, is consistent everywhere, in all sacred writings. Furthermore, what also coincides is that when the Savior comes — he can be called that — people will be freed from all these sufferings and a bright, beautiful life will begin. And this is connected precisely with a certain kind of transition, that is, a transformation of the person, where people have suffered but then attain this nirvana and thus are freed from death and suffering, as in Buddhism and Christianity. And the highest goal in all religions is this — nirvana, that is, deification, becoming, you could say, godlike, meaning liberation from these human sufferings, purification of the mind, complete clarity and concentration, to break free from all these influences. This is what I have been working on, what I have read and studied, looking through various translations over the past week.
