9 Chjle (South America) on At1gust 16, 1906, was frilly as terrible and as devastating as any the world has ever seen. It laid in ruins as many as fifteen towns, both small and great. Thousands lost their Jives, while tens of thousands were rendered homfless. Some ignorant people may perhaps object that these earthquakes cannot form any proof of my truth as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, since they have 11ot occurred in the Punjab. But they must remember that as God is not only the Creator of the Punjab but of the whole world, so also His revelations relate to the whole world and not to any or. e country. Bear in mind that Almighty God has info1med me of earthqaukes in general. Know it for certain thrn, that as earthquakes have come in America, Europe and Asia in accord- ance with my former prophecies, more will yet occur in diverse places, some of which would be so severe that the destruction wrought by them would resemble the destruc- tion of the Judgment Day. Death will make such havoc that streams of blood would flow. In fact, so great would be the destruction on the earth's surface as the world has not witnessed before. Many places shall be turned upside down and present such scene of destruction that one would think they had. never been inhabited. Other calamities of a ,terrible nature from earth as well as heaven would come upon men, so that the wise men will be convinced of their extraordinariness. Then will men in great bewilderment begin to ask themselves what was going to happ2n. Many shall be saved and many shall be destroyed. The days are near, nay, they are at the door, when the world shall see an unparalleled scene of devastation, :Sot only will great earthquakes ccme, but other calamities from heaven and earth will also visit the ea1 th. All this will be brought about because men have forsaken God, and with all their hearts and all their souls they are bent upon the world. Had I not come, these calamities would also have been put off for a while, but with my appearance the secret designs of the wrath of God have been made manifest, for He says that 'punishment is not sent, until a Messenger is raised. ' Those who repent shall be saved and those who show fear be- fore the calamity comes shall be shown mercy. Do you think that you can be saved by your CJwn plans. That cannot be. Do not think that sev~i:e earthquakes have come in distant places in America and your country will be safe, for I see that greater distress is in store for you. Thou, 0 Europe. art not safe, nor thou 0 Asia ! and ye that dwell in islands I No self. made diety will assist. you on that day. I see cities: falling down and I find inhabited places in ruins. The Omnipotent God has kept silence for a long time while detest111. \lle deeds were done in His sight, but now He will show H. i~ face with great awe. Let him who has ears hear that that time is not cli:;;tant. I strove bard to e;ather men un,der the frQteotiqn of
