The Messiah and his Second Coming 261 said that he was afraid of being apprehended, then I would say that when the decree of God had been carried out once and for all and he was resurrected after death and blessed with a glorious body, what fear did he have of the Jews? Surely, they had no power over him as he was now beyond mortal existence. On the one side it is said that he had been blessed with a glorious body upon his resurrection and met the disciples and journeyed to. Galilee and then ascended to heaven, while on the other hand, he was afraid of the Jews at every step, and, in spite of his glorious body, fled secretly from the country lest the Jews should recognize him and, to save his life, undertook a 70 kose journey to Galilee and more than once told his disciples not to mention this incident to anyone. Are these the ways and signs of a glorious body?. Indeed no. . The truth is that his body was neither new nor glorious; it was the same wounded body which had been saved from death; and as he still faced the threat from the Jews, he took all the necessary precautions and left the country. . All statements to the contrary are simply absurd. [Masiḥ Hindustan Mein, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 15, pp. 46-49]. Ointment of Jesus. I have discovered a piece of highly valuable evidence concerning the escape of Jesus from the cross, whose authenticity cannot be doubted. It is a medical preparation called Marham-e- Īsā, or Ointment of Jesus. It is recorded in hundreds of books on medicine. Some of these are written by Christians, some by Magians and. Jews, and some by Muslims. Most of them are very old. . Research has disclosed that at first this prescription became known to thousands of people by word of mouth
