10 Yet a little while...

10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look well at his place, he will not be there. 11 But the meek shall possess the land, and delight themselves in abundant prosperity. Also we read in the psalm 37 (from the Psalms of David), in the sentence 22: for those “blessed” by the Lord shall possess the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off. It is also mentioned in the sentence 29 of the same psalm: The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell upon it forever.

In the Book of Habakkuk, chapter VI, we read: … If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay. … He gathers for himself all nations, and collects as his own all peoples. We read in the Book of Isaiah, chapter XI, in a discussion full of metaphors: 1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse[^1], and a branch shall grow out of his roots.

4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins. 6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, … and a little child shall lead them.

9 They shall not hurt or destroy in my entire holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Signs in the New Testament We read in the Gospel of Mathew, chapter 24: 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 30 … and they will see “the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven” with power and great glory.

31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect … And it is written in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 12: 35 Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; 36 are like those who are waiting for their master, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks.

This Belief among Chinese, Egyptians, etc We read in the book “On Advent and Signs of Advent” (collected by one of the friends of Sadeq Hedayat), page 47: Major part of translations of Pahlavi texts by “Sadeq” is about the advent and the signs of advent and if we totally consider the entire Pahlavi texts of Sadeq then we should say that all of them have religious aspects.
