This Sign regarding boils had been announced through a pamphlet before the birth of the boy. 46. FORTY-SIXTH SIGN―Is that, at a time when there was no trace of the plague in any district of the Punjab except one place, God Almighty revealed to me that the plague would spread throughout Punjab, and every locale therein would be afflicted by the plague. Death would be rampant, thousands would succumb to the plague, and many villages would be totally ruined. I was shown that black trees of plague had been planted everywhere and in every district. I, therefore, publicized this prophecy in this country by means of thousands of pamphlets and periodicals. Soon thereafter, plague broke out in every district [of the Punjab]. As a consequence, as many as 300,000 lives have been lost so far and people are still dying. God Almighty said that the plague shall certainly not leave this country until these people change. 47. FORTY-SEVENTH sign—Is that a person named Charāgh Dīn of Jammu was a follower of mine but later retracted and claimed to be a Messenger and said that he was a Messenger of ‘Īsā [Jesus]; he called me a dajjal and said that Ḥaḍrat ‘Īsā had bestowed upon him a staff with which to kill this dajjāl. I prophesied, concerning him, that he would die of the disease of God's wrath 1*—namely, the plague—and that God would destroy him. Accordingly, on 4 April 1906 he died of plague along with both of his sons. 48. FORTY-EIGHTH SIGN-Is that I had prophesied concerning Mirza Aḥmad Baig of Hoshiarpur that he would die within a period of three years. Accordingly, he died within the time frame of three years. 1.
