Who is 'another Counselor' Jesus promised to send?
John 14: 13-31
Jesus said that he will do whatever is asked for 'in his name' (v. 13-14). So we cannot seek in any one's name other than Jesus. And Jesus promised that he will send 'another Counselor' to be with you forever. This Counselor is the Spirit of truth, and this Spirit will dwell in a person. Just like God dwelled in Jesus at the First Coming, the Spirit of truth that Jesus promised will also dwell in a person (v. 15-17) today. The spirit of truth, the one who comes in the name of Jesus will teach people all things and will remind people of everything Jesus said (v. 26).
At that time (at the Second Coming), the spirit of Jesus dwell in us (v. 20). If one loves Jesus, he will obey his teaching(commandment). And God will love him, and it is promised that God and Jesus will come to make their home with him(v.23).
This very word spoken to the disciples is not the word of Jesus; it belongs to God, who sent Jesus (v, 24). The Jews couldn't recognize Jesus, whom God sent because they only insisted on the Law at the First Coming. Instead of embracing him, they persecuted and killed him. Likewise, if one does not know the world of prophecies at the time of the Second Coming, he/she cannot not acknowledge the Sprit of truth nor the messenger whom the Spirit is with (Rev. 22:16).
The reason that Jesus spoke of all these things ahead of time(prophecies) is to that people may believe at the time of the fulfillment (v. 29).
Jesus promised comes in the name of Counselor.

The answer is in Rev 22:16
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
One is a blind fool not to recognize him.
Because, Jn 14:29 Jesus spoke of all these things ahead of time(prophecies) is to that people may believe at the time of the fulfillment!
