Malfuzat - Volume VIII — Page 88
Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 8 88 God has also promised me more Signs. The plague is one of them, and the earthquake is another. So, exercise patience a little longer. You will come to see what happens in a few years. If these punishments descend upon you, the matter will be proven; otherwise, it will be evident that I am false. Man fabricates tall tales in times of peace and comfort. I have seen clearly that this is not the time when people will believe. However, the time of fulfilment of God’s promises is near, and it will become apparent to the people who is true and who is false. If I am not from God, I will be destroyed on my own, and you will comfortably live your lives. I present the Sign of God. Bite your tongue for just a short while longer, for the punish- ment of God is nigh. Even a worldly government punishes a person who needlessly argues with it. I have set forth all that I had to present—presented repeatedly in succession. I cited the words of God and the Messenger. I presented the Signs of [Divine] support and assistance. Now, God promises that He will punish those who deny. Exercise patience for a few days. If God is true and I am from Him, you will shortly come to know. 1 1.
