The concept of four Ages, called YUGS in Panjabi, is not so well-known in the West than it is in the East. Ages are based upon the religious qualities of most of the people and their understanding forms a good basis for religious studies.

Based upon the three religious qualities - truth, contentment and mercy that are acquired through "works" and which are also the measures of "DHARM", faith or EEMAN - and the foundation of religion that is shame, SHARM or HEEYA displayed in "conscience", there are four religious Ages in a Cycle of Ages. The eastern symbol of "SWASTIKA" represents this Cycle of Four Ages. The significance of these four Ages is as follows:-

1. GOLDEN AGE OR SATT YUG: This is the Age of bliss and happiness in which the child-like innocent and unbiased people live in harmony with Nature and they enjoy the blessings of God. In the Bible, this Age has been summarised as Adam and Eve living in the company of God(KHUDA, BRAHMA or Yahweh) and enjoying the fruits of the Garden of Eden. Most of the people possess all the three qualities of religion and for the quality of "mercy", which is the very "Seat" of God, the people are called "VAAS DEV" i.e. angelic people. Such people are still found deep in the jungles away from the civilisation of Mammon.

As "sin" is doing something wrong knowingly, the child-like innocent people do not commit sin and, therefore, there are neither moral laws to obey nor the "super rulers", Rabbi/PANDITS, to enforce them. They neither know Mammon nor hate, cheat and kill each other in the name of Mammon. Rather they live like one people and for them the whole world is a single nation. This is termed locking the Beast in the Bottomless Pit and Jesus referred to this Age as the "beginning" - Matt.19.8: "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness(cruelty) of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so". The present Dark Age or KAL YUG is expected to end in 2050 and the SATT YUG will be ushered in.

With the passage of time, when most of the people become biased and merciless, then the second Silver Age or TRETA(three) YUG starts.

2. SILVER AGE OR TRETA YUG: Most of the people of this Age were merciless and the most easy targets of their temperaments were their own wives. As "mercy" is the essence or seat of God, the people are said to have been thrown out of the Garden of Eden for being the sinners. For this reason, Prophet SHRI RAM CHANDERJI, an incarnation of demi-god VISHNU, in India and Moses in the Middle East appeared to guide and up-lift the people and they dictated the moral laws which were then enforced by the Rabbi/PANDITS. In this Age, most of the people follow the moral laws to the "letters" and exceptions to the moral laws were exercised by the Rabbi/PANDITS; ideal Rabbi/PANDIT has been defined by Jesus in Matt.13.52. John, the Baptist, a Levi by tribe was an ideal moral teacher of this Dark Age.

For following the moral laws to the "letters", the people were termed "angelic". In Mammon, empires are established and so the buying and selling of goods.

3. BRASS AGE OR DOAAPAR YUG: In this Age, most people became devoid of "mercy" and "contentment". Thus, they became selfish and fought with each other over the greed of land. Atrocities made them to shed blood for their rights and there was much worship of gods and goddesses. SHRI KRISHAN BALDEVJI, an incarnation of demi-god SHIV and king David were the prophets of this Brass Age.

By the end of this Age, most of the Rabbi/PANDITS had become corrupt but the sensible ones left this top most profession for the second best farming profession.

4. IRON AGE OR KAL YUG: This is the Age in which most of the people are devoid of all the three religious qualities truth, contentment and mercy that are also the measures of faith through "works". Without these three religious qualities, there is a religious Darkness and the corrupt priests had become useless in society. In fact, the arrogance of "letters" of the Holy Books, Torah/VEDAS, made them "blind guides" of the blind that "Christ", the anointed High Priest of God, in the name of Jesus appeared among the most spiritually sick people of Judah tribe to deliver Gospel in order to cure them and to free the Pre-destined people off the yokes of the blind guides.

Gospel is a beautiful and invaluable "Pearl" that enlightens the hearts of people so that they become the "children of Light" i.e. the "sons of God" and thereby walk in Light through this jungle of utter Darkness. Gospel stands for "GOOD NEWS" and It is received not by the "works" but through the Grace of God and no individual can pass it on to others except through the Powers of God. Those who receive Gospel become "solitary" in that they do not follow the fashions of the world anymore.

Therefore, in Jesus we are to seek Gospel through the "tool" of logical Reasoning. Further, Gospel being received through "Holy Spirit", our Mother, and not learnt by the "letters" in the universities, It is rather for the Pre-destined living people of "spirit" who by nature are unbiased and they are capable of logical Reasoning. Gospel is not for the biased and dead people of the "flesh".

Also, in Jesus what comes out of your mouth that matters and, therefore, the present dog-collared or frocked priests of "letters" have no place in the ministry of Jesus. Rather they are nothing else but the anti-christs of Mammon who even glorify God by killing and looting the poor people. A person who receives Gospel becomes a Royal priest, i.e. a living christ of God, of his own standing and it is only the blind who seek the help of their blind guides. Thus, Gospel stands for freedom from the deceitful manly priests.

In fact, for the Pre-destined people of "spirit" this Dark Age is a Golden Age for earning their own Salvation and at the same time fishing the Pre-destined people in the name of Jesus and Nanak, the two anointed Christs of the Dark Age. This is termed plying the Double-edged SwordKHANDDA) of "His Word", called NAAM in Panjabi.

In the next chapter 12, the Prophets of the Dark Age would be introduced.
