I believe that the world economic collapse is imminent and an economic depression worse than that of the 1930s Great Depression will be here soon. Though the economic collapse and depression will reduce the living standards in the developed world but eventually it will be a blessing for the whole world.

The credit crunch which started in 2007 following the subprime mortgage crisis in USA has affected most of the major banks in USA, UK and Europe and led to the collapse of several banks in USA, UK and Europe. Most banks needed new capital to remain solvent. Lot of banks has been nationalised by the governments of USA and UK. The reduction in lending will gradually lead to recession and economic depression in the economies of the developed world including USA, UK, Europe and Japan. Despite the reduction in the interest rates by central banks to almost zero in USA, UK and Japan and the quantitative easing (the printing of money) by the central banks all over the world, the world economy is unlikely to recover and will continue to deteriorate.

This economic depression will be worse than the that of the Great depression of the 1930s and will affect the whole world. These economic problems will create the conditions for the Second Coming of Christ. This is the end of the world predicted in the bible. Not the end of the world in the literal meaning of the word but the end of the old world and the beginning of a new world. Lord Maitreya the Christ who has been living in London, England since 1977 to prepare the world for his Second Coming will appear before the public within a matter of months. He will first appear on a major television network in USA and then in Japan and this will lead to further appearances and leading to his public his declaration as the Christ. The Master Jesus who appeared as Jesus Christ 2000 years ago will present himself in a different role as the head of the Christian church. Jesus has the job of purifying the Christian teachings and getting rid of the outdated dogmas and doctrines no longer meeting the needs of the modern world.

In 1988 Lord Maitreya predicted that the world economic collapse would start in Japan. The Japanese stock market started going down from a great height of 40000 for the Nikkei Average in 1989 and dropped to about 7000 at one time. This led to the Asian economic crisis. The economic crisis spread to Russia and caused the collapse of the Russian Rouble at the time. It also affected the countries such as Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Now the turn has come for USA, UK and the Europe to be affected. The US dollar has collapsed in value and has lead to the reduction in the economic power of the US.

At present the western world usurp and greedily waste 83% of the world resources including food, oil and other raw materials. The developing world has to live on the remaining 17% of world food and other resources. As a result every year 30 million people including 10 million children die of starvation and many more die of other preventable and curable diseases. This is likely to get worse initially due to the food is being used to produce bio-fuel for the West. At the moment food prices worldwide are going up as a result leading to food riots and more starvation in many countries.

We will be entering a period of peace and tranquillity following the appearance of Lord Maitreya the Christ, the World Teacher. He will ask the West to share the resources of the world so that no one will die of starvation in a world of plenty. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will come to end due to his presence and due to lack of money to fight the wars. Palestinians will have their homeland and Jews and Palestinians will live as brothers

We will have many new technologies, which will make our lives lot easier. We will have new forms of energy and Lord Maitreya the Christ will advise us to abandon the dangerous form of nuclear energy based of nuclear fission. All the current nuclear reactors and new ones being built will be decommissioned. We will have new form of nuclear energy based on nuclear fusion, which is safer. The wave of younger and younger people suffering from dementia (Alzheimer’s disease) is caused by the nuclear radiation coming from nuclear power stations polluting the environment, which the scientists are not yet aware of. Eventually we will get all our energy directly from the sun. We will have a new economic system based on barter instead of the current economic system based on market forces, competition and greed. Lord Maitreya has said that the market forces are the forces of evil.

The economic collapse will lead to the sharing of world resources. The plans are already in place for this purpose. This will be handled by an agency of the United Nations. Every country will be asked to produce an inventory of goods that it produces that is surplus to its needs. These goods will be added to a pool of world resources, which will be shared equitably depending on the needs of every nation. No one will die of starvation and every nation will be entitled to basic health care, basic education, clothing and shelter.

All these changes will lead to the creation of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Lord Maitreya the Christ will inaugurate the Age of Aquarius, which will last about 2500 years. He will create a new brilliant golden civilisation based on righteousness and truth as predicted by previous World Teacher the Lord Buddha 2500 years ago. As Lord Maitreya is immortal and he will be with us for the whole of Age of Aquarius. This is the rein of the Christ predicted in the bible. When we come into incarnation again and again he will be at the centre of world affairs. The Age of Pieces, which was inaugurated by Jesus 2000 years ago and in which we have been living up to now will come to an end.

He has not come to establish a new religion nor to create new followers but to eradicate poverty and injustice and to stop 30 million people dying every year of starvation in a world where 3 trillion dollars was spent by the US in Iraq war. Eradication of poverty and injustice will stop the wars and people will learn to live as brothers and sisters of one human family. He will teach us the art of self-realisation. He has come as the world teacher and will be the teacher for the religious as well as the atheists.

He is the teacher expected by all religions. Christians, expect him as the Christ, Buddhists expect him as Maitreya Buddha, and Hindus expect him as Kalki Avatar. He is expected as Imam Mahdi by Shia Muslims and as the Messiah by the Jews. We will also see Jesus who will present himself as the head of the Christian Church. Lord Maitreya manifested himself through Jesus 2000 years ago. He has manifested through many other teachers. He has now come himself without manifesting through another teacher which he has been doing up to now.

Sharing indeed, is divine. It underlies all progress for man. By its means, my brothers and sisters, you can come into correct relationship with God; and this, My friends, underlies your lives. When you share, you recognise God in your brother. This is a simple truth, simple, but until now difficult for man to grasp. The time has come to evidence this truth.

Lord Maitreya
