Guest: Now you did say, I think you did just tell me earlier, that I think you said Kṛṣṇa or somebody last came five hundred years ago.
Prabhupāda: No, Lord Caitanya.
Guest: Pardon?
Prabhupāda: Lord Caitanya. He is Kṛṣṇa, He came as Kṛṣṇa's devotee.
Guest: I see, and that was five hundred years ago.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Guest: Is it...? Do you expect Him to come again?
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is not very soon.
Guest: Not very soon.
Prabhupāda: No. That is mentioned in the scriptures, that at the end of this millennium, this yuga, Kalki avatāra will come. Kalki avatāra.
Guest: Yes. Now, because I am only versed in the Western sense of the Old and New Testament, I understand that Christ is coming again at the end of this non-believing age in the world. Does that coincide with the son of God that you understand, or is that a different sort of coming?
Prabhupāda: No...
Haṁsadūta: Actually, in the Bible there's, somewhere mentions there the description that the Lord will come and He will ride on a white steed, on a white horse. And at that time He will kill all the nondevotee people. It's also in the Bible.
Guest: Yes.
Haṁsadūta: So this Kalki, this incarnation of Kṛṣṇa which comes at the end of this age, He's described, He will come and ride on a white horse all over the world, and He will...
Prabhupāda: Kill.
Haṁsadūta: Kill. Because at that time the people will be so degraded, they will not be able to accept any instructions. So the only mercy He can bestow on them is just to finish, finish the whole business. And by that killing in the presence of the Lord they also achieve salvation. This is the mercy of God. Absolute.
Guest: Yes. That, in some way, to me at this moment, it seems to be an echo of the Old Testament prophetic promises of the end of the last age, and also the revelation in the New Testament. Can this be the son of God revealing himself to the East and the West in different forms, but the same personality? I'm presuming that...
Haṁsadūta: God is meant for everybody. Doesn't matter East or West. Just like Kṛṣṇa appeared in India, but we are not Indians. We are all Americans and Europeans, so... Just like the sun. The sun may appear over London, or England, but it's not English sun. Everyone's sun. Similarly, when God appears or God's representative appears, it's meant for everyone.
Guest: Yes. So, forgive me if I talk across you, please, won't you.
Prabhupāda: That's all right, yes.
