Where do the “Messiahs,” the emissaries of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, also called “Sons of God,” come from? Who are they, and when will the final Messiah of our era arrive?

God sends down from Satyaloka, also called Brahmaloka, the highest planet in our galaxy, the great holy sages who live there, so that they may fulfill the mission of Messiah on Earth, for example.

The six perfections—namely, beauty, wealth, power, fame, wisdom, and renunciation—belong exclusively to Krishna, God, the Supreme and Absolute Person.

Individual beings, distinct from God, minute fragments of His Divine Person and integral parts of the Supreme Being, may also possess all these material attributes, but only partially, in a maximum proportion of 78%, seventy-eight percent, in relation to the Lord. In the material universe, these attributes of the distinct being manifest to a lesser degree, for they are veiled by the material energy of God. The attributes of the being who has come into this world, the incarnate spiritual being, lose their original color and are almost entirely extinguished.

The planets of a galaxy are divided into three planetary systems of different levels: the lower planets, called infernal planets and located in Hell; the intermediate planets, of terrestrial types; and the higher, Edenic, paradisiacal planets.

The Earth and its inhabitants, human beings, reside at the beginning of the intermediate system, while Brahma, the demiurge, the first created being and ruler of our galaxy, appointed to this position by God, and his peers live on the higher planets, the highest of which is Satyaloka, also called Brahmaloka.

The inhabitants of this planet possess such profound spiritual wisdom that the mystical cloud of material energy dissipates for them; for this reason, they are called “personified knowers.” Fully awakened to both material and spiritual knowledge, they pursue no personal interests, whether in the material or spiritual worlds.

They can practically be described as “holy sages without desires,” for they have nothing to pursue in the material universe, and they find their fulfillment within themselves in the spiritual world. Why, then, do they come to Earth?

The answer is simple:they descend to different planets in our galaxy, the Milky Way, on the orders of Lord Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, to fulfill the role of Messiah and liberate the fallen souls who reside there.

They appear on Earth, for example, in different places and under various circumstances, in diverse climates, and thus do good for all human beings. But aside from their divine mission, which consists of freeing souls incarnated and conditioned by matter from the illusory influence of material energy—souls that live there and languish in their material existence—they have no business in this world. At the end of their divine mission, they return to where they came from.
