Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 130 Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya is the Old Testament The conversation turned towards that part of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya which had been published. The Promised Messiah as said: There was God’s wisdom behind this; otherwise, if He had so decreed, I would have kept writing it. By ending the first part, God has set it apart akin to the Old Testament of the Bible. Since the prophecies recorded in the first part are being fulfilled during this period, the part of the book that will be published will be the ‘New Testament’, in which there will be references to the previous part illustrating what God had foretold and the manner it was being fulfilled. Simplicity is Proof of Truthfulness In Bar a h i n I have written that the Messiah as will come from heaven. Some people object to this, saying that it is contradic- tory. However, they fail to see that in this very book, I have also recorded all the revelations in which I have been given the title ‘Messiah’, and not just the title but also the revelations relating to the works that the Messiah was to come and do, are all listed in relation to me. Therefore, this contradiction is in fact proof of my truthfulness, for if I had fabricated this, con- tradictory elements would not have been included. The eyes of these unfortunate people see human error, but they overlook the Word of God that is present in this book.
