Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 212 wrote that if he would not enter this mub a halah, he would still perish. In defiance of this, Dowie wrote that he did not wish to contend with gnats and flies and that if he so desired, he could trample them (the Promised Messiah) under his feet. This Dowie was a person from America who claimed to be a prophet. His influence spanned from America to Europe, and it is said that he was worth seventy million rupees. So his wealth was snatched from him after the mub a halah, and he was banished from the town of Zion which he had founded. Then he was stricken with paralysis and was immobilized such that they would remove his faeces with an enema, and he eventually died in February 1907 1. Hence, this was a Sign that established the argument against all of Europe and America, and the death of Sa‘dullah for India. It should be remembered that this individual was also a staunch enemy of mine. Thus, these two Signs, combined with various other Signs, proved the fulfilment of the prophecy of the days of snow. Furthermore, this prophecy was also fulfilled literally, that in this season of spring, as was written that it would be so, such bitter cold, rainfall, and hailstorm took place that the world has cried out. Just like it is raining even today (21 March 1907) and it is terribly cold. Thus, it should be noted how clear in words and how explicit this prophecy was that was fulfilled in every one of its aspects. 1. John Alexander Dowie died on 9 March 1907. [Publisher]
