1906 911 (3) [Arabic] [ Woe to every backbiter, slanderer. ] (4) [Arabic] [ I shall honour you in a wonderful manner and shall thereby create great awe of you. ] (5) [Arabic] People will come to you by every distant track. Presents will come to you by every distant track. [Badr, vol. 2, no. 33, August 16, 1906, p. 2 and al- H akam, vol. 10, no. 29, August 17, 1906, p. 1] August 21, 1906 (1) Last night I saw in my dream that there were such vast numbers of wasps (meaning low enemies) that the whole inhabited. There will also be other afflictions of a terrible type in the earth and the heavens, so much so that every person with understanding will view them as most extraordinary and no mention or trace of them will be found in the books of astronomy or of philosophy. Then people’s minds would be filled with anxiety over what might be apprehended. Many will be delivered but many will be destroyed. The days are near, indeed they are at the door, when the world will witness scenes of the Judgment Day and not only earthquakes but awe-striking calamities will appear, some from heaven and some from the earth. This will happen because the human beings have given up the worship of God and have succumbed with all their thoughts and their designs and their resolves towards the world. Had I not appeared these calamities might have been delayed for a while, but with my coming the secret designs of God’s wrath, which had long been hidden, have been manifested…. Do not imagine that while America etc. has been severely shaken, your country is secure. What I see is that you might experience greater misfortunes. O Europe, you are not secure; and O Asia, you are not protected. O ye that dwell in the islands, no artificial god will help you. I see cities falling and find the habitations in ruin.
