208 F or the past seven to eight days , I had been constantly telling them , ‘Look ! The sense of honor of God Almighty is being inflamed at this time. Because of th e disloyal [people’s] rebelliousness , God Almighty is sitting on His heavenly throne , full of anger, and He will most certainly show them an example and a sign. So be prepared, for God Almighty is about to open the doors of His divine blessings and tens of thousands more people will arrive compared to last year. ’ Thus far, more than nine thousand guests have already arrived, and we are expecting even more in the coming days. It is usual for more people to arrive on the 27 th of December. So , we look forward to the 27 th and the 28 th when we anticipate even more people to arriv e and each time our enemy will b e disgraced. All of our enemies will be embarrassed at how the Jama ‘ at they w ished to destroy is once again, coming to life. Therefore, I strongly advise the organizers to always make arrangements expecting the blessings of God Almight y to be in full force , so that our future guests should not face any discomfort. On the other hand, I would advise the guests that if they suffer some discomfor t fo r one day, they should be happy that our God Almighty is so magnificent that He is increasing us in numbers despite our enemy’s opposition. So, if you face any discomfort, you should praise God Almighty and busy yourself even more in His remembrance. The organizers are the ones who should be embarrassed, and they should humbly seek forgiveness fro m God Almighty because it is their fault, while it is a sign of the mercy and blessings of Allah for the guest. I remember in the days of the Promised Messiah as there was only seven hundred , and now several thousand people are sitting in each block ed section. It was the last year of his life and a total of seven hundred people arrived for th at Jalsa. T he arrangements were so poor that guests were not served dinner until 3 a. m.
