180 [Urdu] Your house will be filled with blessings and I shall perfect My favours unto you and you will have a large progeny from blessed women, some of whom you will find hereafter, and I will cause a great increase in your progeny and will bless it; but some of them will die in early age and your progeny will spread greatly in different lands. Every branch of your collaterals will be cut off and will come to an end soon through childlessness. 204 If they do not repent, God will send chastisement after chastisement upon them, until they are completely wiped out. Their houses will be filled with widows and God’s wrath will descend upon their walls. But if they turn to God, He will turn to them in mercy. God will spread your blessings about and will revive a ruined house through you and will fill a fearful house with blessings. Your progeny will not be cut off and will flourish till the end of days. 204 When the Promised Messiah as made his claim, there were about seventy men in his [collateral] family. But now the progeny of none of the seventy—except those who are physical or spiritual progeny of the Promised Messiah as —is alive.
