Truth has Come—Views of Aryas 59 This alludes to the fact that the Christian priests had created doubts in the minds of people by concealing [facts related to] Atham’s prophecy. Thus, if the prophecy regarding Lekh Ram— whose insolent attitude had proven that he was not one to turn towards truth—had similarly remained concealed, the truth would have been rendered entirely worthless. The whims of the naïve would be utterly polluted, and the ignorant would well nigh become atheists. Consequently, the Master of the heavens and the earths willed that Lekh Ram be the ransom for the manifestation of truth and serve by way of sacrifice to establish the truthfulness of the true religion. So what God willed is precisely what happened. Sympathy for a man who is killed occupies its place, but God showing this magnificent Sign after the Sign of the Conference of World Religions is a means of lifting many hearts out of the darkness. It is incumbent upon every soul to prostrate before that Being Who, by taking one man’s life, laid the foundation for bringing thousands of the dead back to life. Then, it is again to this very prophecy that the revelation recorded on page 522 of Bar a h i n-e- Ahmadiyya 1 points: بخرام که وقت تو نزدیک رسید و پای محمدیان برمنار بلند تر بخرام که وقت تو نزدیک رسید و پای محمدیان برمنار بلند تر ب ی وں اک رسدار. رب ّ االوفاج اِس رطف ن ٰی � مصطف اپک دمحم ب ی وں اک رسدار. رب ّ االوفاج اِس رطف ن ٰی � مصطف اپک دمحم. . محکم افتاد محکم افتاد دخا یک اتکب اور ریمی رے ن ی ن رش� آ ےہ ہک رق ی ا ِس اشنن اک ّدماع � ے اگ. رك وتہج ے اگ. رك وتہج ی. �ںیہ ی ںیت وُمُوہہن یک اب� 1.
