New World Order 124 participate in this scheme and should seek the special grace of God by this means. He announced that only hypocrites will keep out of this scheme. In other words, the scheme is voluntary, but is, at the same time, a test of your faith. If you are anxious to win the pleasure of God and to deserve real Paradise you must make this sacrifice. If, on the other hand, these things have no value in your eyes, you can retain your properties in this world; neither God nor the Movement founded under His Command has any use for them. It will be observed that under the Bolshevik system people are dispossessed of their properties by force. As against this, the Promised Messiah as says that if a person chooses to leave the Movement at any time, property made over by him should be returned to him, for in God’s Eye such property is unaccepta- ble and should be discarded (Op. cit. , Appendix, Condition 12). How great a divergence do we have here between the two systems. The secular system takes possession of people’s properties by force and violence, but the system, which the Promised Messiah as advocates, is based upon voluntary sacrifice, so much so that if a man withdraws from the Movement any property already made over by him to the Movement shall be handed back to him; for, that which is unwillingly offered is not acceptable.
