Here is a quote from the beginning of "The Reappearance of the Christ - Chapter IV - The Work of the Christ Today and in the Future," by Alice A. Bailey.
"Today, the East and the West stand equally expectant. As we approach the theme of His work, it is essential that we remember that the Eastern Teacher embodied in Himself the Wisdom of God, of which human intelligence (the third aspect of divinity) is an expression; that through Christ, the second divine aspect was revealed in its perfection; and in Him two aspects, therefore, light and love, received full expression. It remains now for the highest of the divine aspects, the Will of God, to receive embodiment and for this the Christ is preparing. The continuity of revelation may not stop; and upon what other expressions of the divine nature may still later be revealed it is needless for us to speculate.
"The uniqueness of the impending mission of the Christ and the uniqueness of His opportunity consist in the fact that He is able-in Himself-to give expression to two divine energies: the energy of love and the energy of will, the magnetic potency of love and the dynamic effectiveness of the divine will. Never before, in the long long history of humanity, has such a revelation been possible.
"The work and the teaching of the Christ will be hard for the Christian world to accept, though easier of assimilation in the East. Nevertheless, some hard blow or some difficult presentation of the truth is badly needed if the Christian world is to be awakened, and if Christian people are to recognize their place within a worldwide divine revelation and see Christ as representing all the faiths and taking His rightful place as World Teacher. He is the World Teacher and not a Christian teacher. He Himself told us that He had other folds and to them He has meant as much as He has meant to the orthodox Christian. They may not call Him Christ, but they have their own name for Him and follow Him as truly and faithfully as their Western brethren."
Question:
The last time Christ was here the emphasis was mostly upon the second aspect of Love/Wisdom. This time he will manifest (in addition to Love/Wisdom) properties of the first aspect of Will. Then he hints at the idea that Christ will strike a "hard blow" to the Christian world to wake them up.
It is likely that this hard blow will come through the Will aspect rather than Love, even though Love will be the motivating force.
Stretch your imaginations and ask yourself this. What teachings or actions could Christ present that would shock the Christian world?
Is it likely that the Christian world will accuse him of being a person lacking in love? Why?
"Complain to one who can help you."
