The Messiah and his Second Coming 173 . . . I am the Promised Messiah who is Divinely guided, and who follows the morals of the Messiah (peace be on him. ) Everyone should judge me with reference to these morals and should purge his heart of all ill will concerning me.

Their context indicates that they do not predict the second coming of Jesus, son of. Mary, but comprise metaphorical statements which mean that in an age that would resemble the age of Jesus, son of Mary, a person will resemble Jesus, son of Mary, in
