124 This entire ilh a m [revelation] contains the prophecy that the peo- ple will inevitably oppose this Movement and put forth their full effort to annihilate it and will never desire that it should come to be established, but God will grant progress to this Movement to the point that the world will return in this very direction and the people will turn back to it after having abandoned it. Now, look how clearly this prophecy has been fulfilled! During the days of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya , there was no clamour and uproar from the ulema. On the contrary, the chief instiga- tor of the mischief of declaring me a disbeliever wrote a review of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya full of praise and glory. It was only after a long time that the storm of rejection rose and continued to show its vigour. And now again, in accord with the heavenly revelation, that opposition is subsiding little by little, and the time is coming when the heavenly light will become conspicuously victorious, and darkness will be openly and manifestly defeated. Twentieth Prophecy This prophecy is written on page 241 of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya 1 and is related to Atham. I have already written about it in much detail, and it has been a long time since Atham left this world and met his fate. Our opponents now do not doubt that Atham has died, just as Lekh Ram has died and just as Ahmad Baig has died. However, due to their blindness, they still say that Atham did not die within the prescribed time. 1.
