Your question touches upon symbolic narratives from various religious traditions. Let's explore these themes:
Krishna and the Submersion of DwarkaIn Hindu tradition, particularly in the Vishnu Purana, it's believed that after Lord Krishna's departure from Earth, the city of Dwarka submerged into the sea. This event marks the transition from the Dvapara Yuga to the Kali Yuga.
While the story doesn't mention "smart cities," it symbolizes the end of an era and the impermanence of human achievements.
Jesus Christ and the Gathering of the ElectIn Christian eschatology, particularly in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21), Jesus speaks of a future time when the "Son of Man" will appear in the sky, and angels will gather the elect from the four corners of the Earth.
This passage is often interpreted as a metaphor for divine judgment and the gathering of the faithful, rather than a literal event involving a ship.
Prophet Muhammad and the Ascension (Isra and Mi'raj)In Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad's night journey (Isra) and ascension (Mi'raj) are significant events. During the Isra, he is said to have traveled from Mecca to Jerusalem on a supernatural steed named Buraq. From there, during the Mi'raj, he ascended through the seven heavens.
These events are spiritual journeys and are not described as involving "magical rugs."
Symbolism and InterpretationThese narratives share common themes:
Divine Intervention: Each story involves a deity guiding or saving the faithful.
Transition of Eras: They mark significant shifts in cosmic or spiritual timelines.
Metaphorical Elements: Descriptions like ships, ascensions, and submersions often carry symbolic meanings rather than literal interpretations.
