Future tirthankar amongst us?

आने वाले उत्सर्पणी काल में जो 24 तीर्थंकर होने हैं, उनके नाम जिन आगम में आए हैं। क्या हम में से कोई उनका जीव हो सकता है ?

अगर हां, तो क्या यह कहना गलत नहीं हुआ ?

There might be a future Tirthankar amongst us but he is surely not going to be in the upcoming nearest chaubisi. He might be in a Tirthankar in the next to next Chaubisi or maybe in VidehKshetra it might be possible. Jain aagam also mentions plenty of Bhaavi Tirthankars in Narak but all of them might not be a part of the upcoming Tirthankar generation. They might be a part of the later Tirthankar gen.

Why not ?

Videh Kshetra is very much different from Bharat Kshetra, there can be between 20 to 160 tirthankar there. Also atleast 20 tirthankar are present at each point of time. There can a person who binds tirthankar naam karma and become tirthankar in that birth only.

ALSO, there are Samanya kevalis like Ram, Hanuman, Sugreev etc in all the kshetras (bharat, airavat, videh).
