56 the prophecy so that my truthfulness remains hidden and does not become apparent. Then, after this, it will happen that God will decide to manifest my truthfulness so that the veracity of my prophecies becomes apparent. Then He will manifest two kinds of Signs. One of which will not involve human actions as was the case when it was foretold prior to the Conference of World Religions that my paper would be considered the most superior and there would be no element of human interference in the fulfilment of this prophecy. Thus, this is exactly what happened; opposing efforts were made and everyone desired their paper to be considered the best. Eventually, however, in accordance with the prophecy, my paper was declared to have prevailed. Second, there was the promise in these revelations in Bar a h i n- e-Ahmadiyya , that He would manifest those Signs which would involve the actions of human beings. So, the prophecy related to Lekh Ram occurred in accord with this because this Sign was manifested by means of someone who killed Lekh Ram. It is apparent that for this prophecy God roused the heart of someone to want to murder him and created every opportunity for him to be able to complete his task. 1 ٭ Before mentioning the manifest victory, God Almighty made use of two sentences regarding the manifestation of the prophecy. 1. ٭ It is written in Paisa Akhb a r and Saf i r Government that Lekh Ram had an illicit relationship with a woman; that is, he was killed by some heir of this woman. What an ignoble death this is! And if this be called martyrdom then it ought to be said that he had been martyred by the sharp dagger of some woman’s glance and in the end that very dagger came down upon him in a wrathful manner. If this is verily the cause of the murder, then it is excellent proof of the ‘holy’ life of Lekh Ram! —Author.
