dear slkh
please quote the references from aztec and samurai religious doctrines and enlighten all of us here on the forums too ..
that what kind of prophecy is there that they wud rule and conquer and when.
and also one thing should not be forgotten here that all the religious scritures u were talking of none was written by the prophets themselves (christ never wrote bible, momhammad koran), but when it comes to sikhism our single parameter and bench mark is SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI and that is guru's word and thats written by gurus themselves not by any disciples or followers, we as seekers shud be able to differentiate between gurus shabad n saakhis, saakhis were written by others but the teaching are by gurus themselves and there is no space for pollution there.
Sorry, instead of Aztec, it's a Mayan prophecy.
They used to have a sacred calendar and hold ceremonies around it and all sorts of classic stuff. Anyways, the calendar points to this :
"The Mayan Calendar seems to track a period of thousands of years whose end, some scholars say, points to a specific date on our Gregorian Calendar of December 23, 2012. The calendar, supported by local traditions and lore, tells that the ‘end of time’ or the end of this present cycle, will occur and will be forewarned by events such as natural disasters, warfare and general chaos. The end time is the end of this present Mayan age and the beginning of the next age to come. Many other cultures around the globe also have legends or knowledge of such an event coming to pass. The Hopi are very specific in their beliefs concerning the ending of the present Fourth World and our emergence into the Fifth World. "
That is there prophecy. The "Fourth World" will end and the "Fifth World".
And etinder, you said that Christ didnt write the bible, or Muhammond didnt write his prophecies in the Quran. This is all true.
But I just did a search through the Guru Granth Sahib, and I can not find anywhere where ANY Guru wrote "Khalsa will conquer the world" "Khalsa will rule all" and implying OUR Khalsa. "Raj Karega Khalsa".
If I'm wrong, please correct me, as I'm sure you guys are more familiar with the SGGS than I am.
The Samurai actually had similar war cries to "Raj Karega Khalsa"...it was along the same lines, that translated to "Samurai will never die, and conquer all"....I'm looking for the exact line reference now.
If the Guru's did not write anywhere in the SGGS that the "Khalsa will conquer all/the world/Raj Karega Khalsa"...than its the same thing as all the prophecies for the other religions.
Someone please search the SGGS into this matter.
