First Heavenly Testimony It was on March 8th, 1907 that I was shown a notebook of revelations in a vision in which I heard someone saying it was the notebook wherein the Promised Messiah as recorded his revelations. Thereupon, I found the following words written in the notebook in boldface: It may be that you might dislike something, but in reality it may be beneficial for you. That is, it may be that you dislike a thing, while it is good for you. Then the scene changed and I saw a mosque against whose custodian people had raised a great tumult. At this point, I found myself talking to a person who was from amongst the rioters.
