LET REASON AND BETTER JUDGEMENT PREVAIL. Reason demands that the apparent contradiction which ensues as a natural consequence of admitting either of these two options be first eliminated before the validity of either of these views is accepted. The chances of this contradiction being eliminated however are rather remote unless the opponents of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad begin to accept the Promised Messiah's reasoning to the effect that our beloved master's Traditions are subject to interpretation. . ANOTHER PARALLEL IN HISTORY. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's opponents' insistence that this victory of the Promised Messiah against the Jews be an actual physical victory through the physical might of the Messiah's strength is yet another instance where a similar parallel may be found in Jewish history. During. Jesus's own period, the Jews were themselves in expectation of a Messiah who would deliver to them a physical victory against the traditional enemies of the Hebrew race29 but when Jesus failed to do that, they rejected his claim to be the Promised Messiah they had yearned for and awaited so long. 30. HATRED AND MALICE TO DISAPPEAR. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's claim to be the Promised Messiah is once again disputed on the grounds that whereas the Traditions state that, with the advent of the Messiah: 'There. will be complete peace on earth' ' and also 'hatred and malice will disappear from the world,' 2 this 'world is now a more dangerous place to live in; violence has increased and so has human greed.
