Believing in the advent of a Great Savior and disappearance of oppression and injustice among the people, and government of truth and justice is not exclusive to the eastern people and religions, but it is a general and universal belief which its different features can be seen in the faiths of different nations and all of them clarifies this truth that the source of this ancient belief is innate human nature and prophets’ invitation.

In the book “A Preface to Leadership”, while talking about the existence of waiting for the advent of a great savior among different western nations and manipulation of such general belief by some persons, the writer mentions the name of five claimants who arose from Britain: “James Naylor”, “Joanna Southcott”, “Richard Brothers”, “John Nichols Thom” and “Henry James Prince”; and quotes the existence of such belief, even among the North American Indians, from “Bernard Barber”, American sociologist, in the paper “Acculturation and Messianic Movements”:

Among the North American Indians … this belief is prevalent that one day, the Great Spirit will come and guide them to the heaven of the earth …

Only until 1890, about twenty types of these movements have been recorded in American history.

In the discussion which was quoted before from the book “On Advent and Signs of Advent”, it was affirmed that: It is possible to find the signs of this belief among Scandinavians, Mexican aboriginals and like them.1

Totally, according to what was said, and other several matters and evidences which was not mentioned for observing the abstraction, we conclude that this waiting is has logical aspect, it is expanded, pervasive and universal, and finally it is an evidence of the innateness of this belief.

In the next discussion, we will se that this belief is much expanded in Islamic beliefs under the title of “the Advent of Mahdi” and has been considered as a fundamental belief.

Also, we will see that how noticing and believing in this innate reality, which reason and wisdom also support that, removes the dark clouds of disappointment and pessimism from the sky of human soul and prepares him for a bright future.

And makes the way easier for achieving a human society with its certain meaning’

A society which oppressions don’t burn it like fire, discriminations don’t destroy it from the inside like termites, and injustices don’t take it to destruction.
