Another Great Prophecy Fulfilled — Page 33
B2 eastern pl:rt of In di-a. fn this cotinecition the· following dream of the PrQmised Messiah, which was published full twenty- ·seven years ago, on April 20, 1907, should be noted ~ " I saw in dream Bashir Ahmed [that is myself, the writer of these lines] sb1nding who, pointing with his finger towards the North-east, said, ' The earthquake has gone in this direction," (vide Baar. Vol II, No. 18) This makes the point as clear as day-light. The words of the dream evidently mean that the next severe earthquake t6 occur in this country, after that of 1905, occurring in the North- west of India, would take plaae in the North-eastern part of the country. _ The expression '' has gone " denotes a contrast of directions and means that whereas the last earthquake occurred in the North-west of India the next would come in the opposite part of the country, namely, the North-east of India. ln. ther words, it implies a change of scenes of the catastrophe. Now in regard to this characteristic ma1k, too, this Bihar earthquake has literally fulfilled the prophecy of the Promised Messiah. Every one, who hns even the rudimentary knowledge of the geography of the country, knows that the valley of Kangra, which was destroyed by the earthquake of 1905, is situated in the North-west of Indi9. , while Bihar and the Nep_al State where this earthquake, occurring on the 15th of January last, wrought its greatest destruction, lie in the North-east of India. Although in itself it is too patent a fact to need any proof, yet for the sake of being exact I give below a few extracts from the press in proof of this point. " The newspaper reports suggesting Assam as Lud centre of the earthquake on January 15 appear to have originated from the fact that the majority of earthquake shocks felt locally in North-east India during the last (ew decades had their seat of activity in Assam. . . . . . . . . The instrumental observations fix the centre of the earthquake near latitude 261 North and Jongi. tude ssi East (Civil & Military Gazette, January 23, 1934). The Statesman, dated January 24, says: " On the basis of a very long experience we are convinced that the epicentre of the earthquake of North-east lndi1:1. is ~n Assam. '' - - - ·
