326 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION is that the falling of the red drops and the flicking of the pen was simul- taneous-there was not a second's difference between the two. An uninitiated person will not understand this mystery. He will doubt it, because to him it will merely appear to be a matter of a dream. But one who has knowledge of spiritual phenomena cannot doubt that God can create something out of nothing in this very fashion. In short, I related the entire incident to Miyan 'Abdullāh; at that time tears were streaming down my eyes. 'Abdullāh who is a witness to this was deeply moved and he acquired that shirt of mine as a holy relic which is still in his possession. 107. [ONE HUNDRED-SEVENTH SIGN] -I had announced in the newspapers on many occasions prior to the earthquakes, that major earthquakes shall strike the world to the extent that the earth shall be turned upside down. Everyone knows about the earthquakes which struck San Francisco and Formosa in accordance with my prophecy. But the terrible earthquake that recently hit the state of Chile in South America on 16 August 1906 was no less devastating than the earlier ones; it destroyed fifteen cities and towns of varying sizes and thousands of lives were lost. A million people are still homeless. Those who are igno- rant might object: How could this be a Sign since these earthquakes did not touch the Punjab? But they do not know that God is the God of the entire world and not merely of the Punjab. He has given these warnings not just to the Punjab, but to the entire world. It is indeed unfortunate not to pay heed to the prophecies of God Almighty, and not to read the Word of God with careful consideration, and to try all the time to somehow conceal the truth. But the truth cannot be con- cealed by such denials. Bear in mind that God has informed me about the coming of earthquakes in general. So know it with certainty that just as, in keeping with the prophecy, there have been earthquakes in America and also in Europe, so will they occur in different parts of Asia, and some of them will be like the Doomsday. There will be death on such a large scale
