@GabrielSaidR Ultimately, whatever our name for it, the 'Hour of Reckoning' or 'Day of the Messiah' isn't delineated by peculiarly Abrahamic or even singularly religious limits. Man-made history is only one of history’s dimensions. 'Planetary Parousia' or 'Qiyamat al-Qiyamat' takes it all in.

Christ's parousia is not a dispensable appendage to the history of Christ. It is the goal of that history, for it is its completion. It is the keystone supporting the whole of christology, and this also makes it the key to the understanding of the history of Christ. Christ's parousia therefore does not merely 'unveil' the salvific meaning of Christ's death. It also, and much more, brings the fulfillment of the whole history of Christ, with all that it promises; for it is only with Christ's parousia that 'the kingdom that shall have no end' begins. Christ's messianic mission would remain incomprehensible if we were not to take into account the future 'Day of the Messiah', the future of the Son of Man, the coming 'Day of the Lord' — which is to say Jesus' parousia in the universal glory of God. His parousia is the fulfillment of his resurrection. That is why this future of Christ does not bring the turn of history 'once more'; it brings it 'once and for all'.

@pauljpastor 3/ At the planetary level, meanwhile, a vast complex of democratic insight clarifies the ontic advent of the Hindu Kalki Avatara, Jewish Mashiach, Muslim Mahdi, Buddhist Maitreya, East Asian Great Savior, Zoroastrian Saoshyant and complementary Indigenous currents.

[...] I am the Retributor on the Day of Retribution (dayyān yawm al-dīn). I am the Judge (qasīm) of the Garden and the Fire [...]. I am the first Noah. I am the instigator of the second Flood [...] I am the Hour for the deniers. I am the Call that awakes the inhabitants of the graves. I am the Lord on the Day of Resurrection (anā l-sā‘a li -mukadhdhibīn | anā al-nidā’ al-mukhrij man fī l-qubūr | anā sāhib yawm al-nushūr) [...]. I am the One who shall fill the earth with justice and equity in the same way as it was filled before with oppression and injustice (or darkness: zulman or zuluman). I am the Concealed One, the Awaited One for the mighty Affair (anā l-ghā'ib al-muntazar li l-amr al-‘aẓim) [...].
