He Comes as . . . Kalki Avatar
(Hindu Prophecy)

Hindus await the arrival of the Kalki-Avatar as promised by in the Scriptures when the Kali age (age of darkness) ends and the Krita age (age of light) begins. Below is one of the Scriptures that speaks of Kalki's coming:

"When the practices taught by the Vedas and the institutes of law shall nearly have ceased and the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being who exists of his own spiritual nature in the character of Brahma, and who is the beginning and the end, and who comprehends all things, shall descend upon the earth. He will be born as Kalki in the family of an eminent Brahmin of Shambala village, endowed with the eight superhuman faculties. By his irresistible might he will destroy the barbarians and thieves, and all whose minds are devoted to iniquity. He will then re-establish righteousness upon earth; and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as pellucid as crystal. The men who are thus changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who shall follow the laws of the Krita age, the Age of Purity" (Vishnu Purana 4:24).

All Scriptures agree that when conditions reach a critical point in human affairs, and humanity is sinking to its lowest depths, then the Lord will come again. When the Lord comes, in all Scriptures, He will bring a new Golden Age (the Krita Yuga).
