In accordance with the wise guidance of our world-evolution it is not ordained that men should again see Christ in the flesh, as a physically incarnated man; nor is it necessary that they should. For Christ will not return in the flesh. Why? Because what we call the dark age—the Kali-Yuga—was completed at the end of the nineteenth century, and because with the twentieth century began a new age, in which men must prepare to develop new capacities, those faculties which were lost in the dark age. Slowly and gradually these are being prepared. These faculties will develop so far that single individuals will be here who will possess them as natural tendencies. These faculties will be seen in a certain number of persons, particularly between the years of 1930 and 1940, and by means of these a number of people will enter into new relation with the Christ.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Weil dasjenige Zeitalter, das wir das finstere nennen, das Kali Yuga, abgelaufen ist gerade in unserer Zeit mit dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, und weil mit dem Beginne des 20. Jahrhunderts ein neues Zeitalter beginnt, wo sich neue Fähigkeiten der Menschen vorbereiten, jene Fähigkeiten, welche in dem finsteren Zeitalter verlorengegangen sind. Langsam und allmählich bereiten sich neue Fähigkeiten vor. Bis zu dem Grade werden sich neue Fähigkeiten vorbereiten, daß einzelne Menschen da sein werden, welche dieselben als eine natürliche Anlage haben werden.
