Thus, these verses from Surah Al-Imran have indicated the descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, at the end of time. Some of what Allah Almighty informed Jesus, peace be upon him, before his ascension to Him are promises that Allah made to him, which He will fulfill through Gabriel, peace be upon him, upon his descent at the end of time. By employing the style of numerical connection between verses, which we have previously mentioned with its examples within the methods of numerical miraculousness, we have followed a count of 1447 verses after these verses from Surah Al-Imran. The choice of this specific number is intentional and deliberate, corresponding to the Hijri year that we mentioned in the previous chapter as the year in which the descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, will occur, by the will of Allah Almighty. We found the following surprising facts after this count: 1. Our count ended at verse 47 of Surah Ibrahim. We read in it: "And it will be said, 'Indeed, this is the Day of Judgment.' But you will not know." (47). The verse, as its words clearly state, speaks of Allah Almighty fulfilling what He promised His messengers, peace be upon them. Therefore, the verse also implicitly refers to the descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, and the beginning of Allah Almighty fulfilling what He promised him before his ascension. The number of verses separating the verses of the promise from Surah Al-Imran and the verse of the beginning of its fulfillment from Surah Ibrahim is 1447 verses. This will represent, by the will of Allah Almighty, the Hijri year in which this matter will be realized.

2. Allah Almighty said before verse 47 of Surah Ibrahim: "And they will call out, 'O Malik, let your Lord finish us!' He will say, 'Indeed, you will remain.' We have brought you the truth, but most of you were [so] averse." (46). And He also said before the verses of the promise from Surah Al-Imran: "And they plotted, and Allah plotted, and Allah is the best of plotters." (54). The similarity between the meanings of the two verses is not hidden from anyone. The first mentions the occurrence of a wicked plot before the ascension of Jesus, peace be upon him, and the Jews and their helpers were behind its greatest extent. The second mentions the occurrence of another plot before his descent, peace be upon him. The greatest of this plot will be undertaken by the Antichrist, the Dajjal, and his helpers from the Jews and the wicked of mankind. Ibn Tibarjan alluded to this meaning in his interpretation of Surah Ibrahim.
