Jesus Christ out of Tomb to Save the World - 2
Some people believe that Jesus Christ traveled to Kashmir, a border area between Pakistan and India, after He had been restored to life from death on the cross (e.g. http://www.geocities.com/emerging.geo/savior.html).
Kashmir is one of places, some people believe, where a certain lost tribe of ancient Jews traveled and survived.
Names of local places, traditions of people, and some folklore in Kashmir seem to constitute evidence for the above argument.
However, it is not certain if the so-called Jesus’ tomb in a town of Kashmir, so believed to be and accordingly maintained, is really the one.

The recent great tsunami disaster on Indian Ocean coast lines and the subsequent large earthquake in Northeast Pakistan are, in this context, very suggestive, though they took out many human lives and we are extremely sorry for the victims.
Kashmir is located in Northeast Pakistan and is full of Muslims. And most of victims of the great tsunami disaster were Muslims.
Nonetheless, I think that these incidents might imply something holy in terms of the region and the religion.

Proponents of this idea pay special attention to Jesus’ words: “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
They believe that Jesus Christ after resurrection visited descendants of ancient Jews that had fled eastward after ancient Kingdom of Israel had been defeated by Assyria in 721 B.C.

I really think that Jesus Christ traveled eastward as a savior after resurrection, while his disciples mostly traveled westward.
Jesus Christ must have visited Southern Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and as far as Kashmir. In these areas, even today, we can see Judaists or legends concerning ancient Jews.
Interestingly, His passage resembles that of Alexander the Great. Therefore, it is not impossible physically or logically. Jesus Christ is greater than Alexander the Great, isn’t He?

However, I am not sure if He spent the rest of His life until His death in Kashmir so as to be buried there.
But the point of this issue is that Jesus Christ, as the savior, must not have neglected people living east of Israel while his disciples were mainly preaching west of Israel. Europe was directly blessed by his disciples; but what about people in the Middle East and Southwest Asia?
Even Alexander the Great marched into those areas, didn't he? His world-scale expedition, as the first in history, had massive and various cultural influences on people therein in the era.
Then, why not Jesus Christ, in terms of doing them a holy favor?

The headquarters of a terrorist group involved in 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, with a magnitude of influence comparable with the great tsunami and earthquake disasters, are now believed to be in or around Kahimir, the earthquake-hit area.
Only a region with special, religious tradition might give unconditional relief to anybody, implication of which is however very serious.

Nonetheless, significance of Jesus’ out of a tomb to preach in the East of Palestine is not limited here.
I will tell you more soon, yes, quite soon.
